Aerodrome Finance was introduced on August 28, offering users the opportunity to deposit liquidity and earn AERO tokens, among other features.

However, its TVL has since decreased by approximately 51% from its peak on September 2.

According to DeFi Llama, Friend.tech’s TVL increased by an impressive 540% over the past month, primarily driven by a surge that began on September 9, accompanied by a resurgence in daily trading volume.
Further down the list, Base’s TVL is mainly composed of multi-network DeFi platforms such as Compound, Curve, and Uniswap.
Base Achieves All-Time High in Daily Transactions
Earlier this month, Cointelegraph reported that Base reached a new peak in terms of daily transactions, recording 1.88 million on September 14, as per data from BaseScan. This figure positioned Base well ahead of competing chains like Optimism and Arbitrum, which had a combined total of almost 880,000 transactions on that day.
Base’s all-time high in daily transactions still stands, with daily transaction numbers currently hovering around 908,000 as of September 22.”
