Aera Protocol and Seamless Protocol Launch Automated Protocol-Owned Liquidity Strategy on Aerodrome
This collaboration streamlines Protocol-Owned Liquidity with onchain governance and automation.
Aera Protocol, an onchain treasury management protocol incubated by Gauntlet, has chosen Seamless Protocol as its launch partner to deploy a cutting-edge Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) strategy using Aerodrome, the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) on Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain incubated by Coinbase. Now live on Aera Protocol, this strategy marks a significant leap in autonomous liquidity management, efficiency, and governance for DAOs and DeFi projects. This type of seamless automation may serve as a critical building block to enable AI agent-controlled management and provisioning.
What is Protocol-Owned Liquidity?
Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) is liquidity directly owned and managed by a DeFi protocol or DAO, rather than sourced from external providers. This innovative approach offers several key benefits:
- Resilient Ecosystem Development
POL ensures a self-sustaining ecosystem by reducing volatility and providing stable liquidity, which benefits token holders, traders, and protocols. - Optimized Incentive Structures
Efficient allocation of incentives within liquidity pools reduces unnecessary token emissions and enhances long-term sustainability. - Deeper Onchain Liquidity
POL ensures consistent token availability for trading, reducing slippage and increasing market depth to attract more participants.
Collaboration Highlights
By leveraging Aerodrome’s robust liquidity infrastructure and Seamless Protocol’s expertise in lend/borrow mechanisms, this flagship partnership with Aera raises the bar for efficient and decentralized liquidity provisioning across DeFi.
“Aera is reimagining how protocols approach treasury management, and this partnership with Seamless Protocol exemplifies our shared commitment to innovation,” said Matt Dobel, Head of Business Development at Gauntlet. “With this launch, we are enabling DAOs and leading DeFi projects to automate and optimize their liquidity strategies in a simple, transparent, and autonomous manner.”
The collaboration capitalizes on Aerodrome’s position as the leading DEX on Base, where it has established itself as a key liquidity hub. Integrating Gauntlet’s onchain optimization experience with Aera’s non-custodial and robust treasury management services allows protocols and DAOs to achieve greater efficiency through automation. This approach allows every dollar of protocol-owned liquidity to be maximized. “On Base, we’re building the world’s biggest onchain economy. Aerodrome is the central trading and liquidity hub of Base and couldn’t be more excited to welcome Aera and Seamless to the Aerodrome ecosystem,” said Alexander, a contributor of Aerodrome.
Additionally, Seamless Protocol’s integration into Aera vaults empowers both individuals and DAOs to directly control and adjust their liquidity positions in real time, fostering a more decentralized and robust DeFi ecosystem for all.
“This milestone is a game-changer for Seamless,” said Richy, a contributor of Seamless. “Automating POL management saves valuable time and resources while embodying the principles of decentralization and governance. Together with Aera, this sets a new standard for liquidity management in DeFi.”
