Coin verdict · DeFi / Optimism AMM · Updated 2026-04-26
Velodrome is the leading AMM on Optimism, launched in 2022 with a ve(3,3) token model derived from Solidly. VELO is the native emissions token, vote-escrowed as veVELO for governance and bribe revenue. From an AAOIFI-aligned perspective, the ve-tokenomics introduce additional concerns beyond standard AMM exclusion: bribe revenue is direct payment to direct emissions to specific pools, and the emissions inflate VELO supply over time. Spot VELO inherits exposure to these mechanics. Excluded across all tiers.
