Velodrome is an AMM designed as the central trading and liquidity marketplace on Optimism Network. Velodrome Finance mechanics reflect a combination of two DeFi concepts:Vote-Escrow — first introduced by Curve to strengthen incentives for long-term token holdersStaking/Rebasing/Bonding or (3,3) game theory — designed by Olympus DAO.Combined, the ve(3,3) mechanism rewards behaviors correlated with Velodrome's success, such as liquidity provision and long-term token holding. Liquidity providers receive $VELO emissions, and $veVELO holders receive protocol fees, bribes, rebases, and governance power.
