But we saved everything 🙂.
Aerodrome, the largest decentralized exchange on the Base network, is preparing a major upgrade. The project plans to replace its current liquidity allocation voting system with a mechanism that rewards users for predicting future demand for capital.
The new mechanism, called Predictive Allocation, is scheduled to launch in July. It will replace the weekly voting system that has been used on the platform since its launch.
Predictive Allocation is designed to change that approach. Instead of directing incentives toward pools that are already generating fees, participants will be rewarded for correctly identifying where liquidity will be needed in the future.
The project believes this mechanism allows capital to be allocated more efficiently to promising market segments before sustained demand emerges.
If a participant correctly anticipates future demand and allocates liquidity to the corresponding pool, they receive a larger share of the revenue eventually generated by that market.
The developers believe this approach could improve capital allocation across the DeFi ecosystem. They also expect it to attract professional traders, market makers, and new categories of participants.
Aerodrome is particularly optimistic about attracting AI agents, which could continuously analyze market data and automatically make liquidity allocation decisions.
According to the developers, the concept could eventually be used far beyond digital asset trading. In the future, the technology may help allocate capital across projects, protocols, and investment opportunities.
Aerodrome's approach shares similarities with prediction markets, whose popularity has grown significantly in recent years. Supporters argue that financial incentives help participants uncover information more efficiently and assess the probability of future events more accurately than traditional forecasting methods.
This is why platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi allow participation by individuals with non-public information. Advocates of the model argue that such activity does not distort markets but instead helps incorporate new information more quickly and improve forecasting accuracy.
Earlier, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) proposed revising regulations governing this sector. The proposal covers event contracts tied to political developments, military conflicts, and other matters of public interest.
