Aerodrome Finance is an automated market maker and liquidity hub on Base. Aerodrome Finance was launched as a fork of Velodrome Finance. Holders of AERO, the protocol’s utility token, can vote-escrow their tokens. Once tokens are locked, the holder can participate in governance to earn a portion of protocol trading fees.

Reserve Rights (RSR) is the central governance token of the Reserve ecosystem. Reserve is a platform for creating DTFs (Decentralized Token Folios), which are the decentralized, self-custody, onchain version of ETFs. DTFs created on Reserve are called RTokens, and there are two types: Yield RTokens and Index RTokens. When staked on any Yield RToken or locked on any Index RToken, RSR holders gain governance rights to propose and vote on basket and configuration changes. For Yield RTokens, staked RSR serves as overcollateralization, providing first-loss capital in the unlikely case of a collateral default in exchange for a portion of revenue. RSR tokens can also be held unstaked if preferred.
