Mezo has partnered with Aerodrome Finance in a collaboration that makes the latter the primary liquidity<\/a> hub for the former\u2019s native token and its Bitcoin-backed stablecoin<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mezo, a decentralized lending protocol<\/a> built on Bitcoin<\/span>, has entered into a strategic partnership<\/a> with Aerodrome Finance, a leading decentralized exchange<\/span> ( DEX<\/span>) on Base<\/a>. The collaboration will make DEX<\/span> the primary liquidity<\/span> hub for Mezo\u2019s native token while also supporting liquidity<\/span> for the bitcoin-backed stablecoin<\/span> MSUD.<\/p>\n Under the agreement, Mezo will allocate 2.25% of its total MEZO token supply to Aerodrome\u2019s veAERO voters over a 30-day period. The move is intended to attract liquidity<\/span> and engage Aerodrome\u2019s experienced vote-escrow participants, who have played a key role in shaping sustainable yield models on Base.<\/p>\n Aerodrome Finance, developed from Curve\u2019s vote-escrow framework and refined through Velodrome, is considered the liquidity<\/span> backbone of the Base ecosystem. Mezo\u2019s yield platform, Mezo Earn, adapts this model for Bitcoin<\/span> lending, creating what the team describes as \u201cAerodrome for Bitcoin<\/span> lending.\u201d<\/p>\n Matt Luongo, founder and CEO of Mezo, explained: \u201cAerodrome\u2019s community wrote the playbook for sustainable DeFi<\/span> yield through vote-escrow economics. We partnered with them because we wanted that audience to see what happens when you apply those mechanics to Bitcoin<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n The partnership follows Mezo\u2019s \u201cBring Bitcoin<\/span> Home\u201d campaign, which migrated approximately $23 million in Bitcoin-denominated assets from Ethereum to Mezo\u2019s mainnet. The protocol currently reports $76.3 million in total value locked, more than 2,000 loans issued at a fixed 1% APR<\/span>, and over 43,500 mainnet users.<\/p>\n Mezo\u2019s infrastructure includes validators such as P2P, Chorus One, and Everstake, with audits conducted by Quantstamp and Thesis Defense. Institutional access is supported through Anchorage Digital. The company has raised $28.5 million in seed funding, led by Pantera Capital with participation from Multicoin, Paradigm, Polychain, Draper, Nascent, a16z, and ParaFi.<\/p>\n This collaboration highlights a growing effort to connect liquidity<\/span> and expertise from Base into Bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s decentralized finance<\/span> ecosystem, reinforcing Bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s role in the broader DeFi<\/span> landscape.<\/p>\nBitcoins Bridging Base\u2019s \u2018ve\u2019 Pioneers into Bitcoin<\/span> DeFi<\/span><\/h2>\n
