How to add liquidity on Aerodrome
Aerodrome is the main decentralized exchange on Base. To make your token tradable, you create a liquidity pool there by pairing it with ETH or USDC.
Why list on Aerodrome
Aerodrome is the leading DEX on Base, with the deepest liquidity. Listing your token there makes it tradable and discoverable across the Base ecosystem. (Uniswap also runs on Base as an alternative.)
Step-by-step on Aerodrome
- Open Aerodrome and connect your wallet on Base.
- Go to Liquidity → Deposit.
- Select ETH (or USDC) and paste your token address.
- Enter amounts (this sets the price) and confirm.
Set price & build trust
Price = paired ETH ÷ tokens. Lock your liquidity and renounce ownership so buyers trust your token — see avoiding rug pulls.
Know the risks
Liquidity provision carries impermanent loss if price swings sharply. Start modestly and grow the pool with demand.
