# Protocol Metrics

This year, Aerodrome (Base) and Velodrome (Optimism) will unify under a single ticker: AERO. Combined metrics give a complete picture of protocol-wide activity across both deployments.

Sourced from [Dune Analytics](https://dune.com/) via [Dune API](https://docs.dune.com/api-reference/introduction) — Verified onchain data for Aero.
