🫰BLOCKLORDS Partners with Aerodrome to Launch $LRDS Reward Incentives on Base Chain

BLOCKLORDS, the medieval strategy game developed by MetaKing Studios, has announced the launch of a $LRDS/WETH liquidity pool on Aerodrome Finance, a decentralized exchange built on the Base blockchain. This move provides new opportunities for both liquidity providers and veAERO voters, while expanding the utility of the $LRDS token within and beyond the game.

$LRDS Utility in BLOCKLORDS

In BLOCKLORDS, $LRDS is central to the player-driven economy. Players can be rewarded with $LRDS through strategic gameplay, such as resource management, combat, and governance. These tokens are used to purchase in-game items such as season resource packs, exclusive heroes, and time boosts, offering players ways to accelerate their progress and gain influence within the game world.

Beyond in-game purchases, $LRDS plays a dual role as a governance token. Players who hold $LRDS can participate in votes that influence the development of BLOCKLORDS, shaping game updates and decisions. The token also extends into the wider blockchain ecosystem through its integration with LORDCHAIN, where it is used for validation and treasury voting.

Launch of the $LRDS/WETH Liquidity Pool on Aerodrome

The launch of the $LRDS/WETH liquidity pool on Aerodrome allows users to provide liquidity and recieve rewards in AERO, Aerodrome’s native token. This pool strengthens liquidity for $LRDS on the Base blockchain, offering deeper liquidity for traders while supporting the token’s growing presence in decentralized finance (DeFi).

veAERO Voting and Incentives

veAERO holders—those who lock their AERO tokens in Aerodrome’s vote-escrow mechanism—play a crucial role in directing AERO emissions to liquidity pools. By voting for the $LRDS/ETH pool, veAERO holders help allocate AERO rewards to the pool and, in return, receive $LRDS tokens as an additional incentive for their vote.

This mechanism allows the community to shape reward distribution on Aerodrome, with votes occurring on a weekly basis. Voters also receive 100% of the fees generated by the pools they support, proportional to their voting power.

Aerodrome and Base: Supporting DeFi on Layer 2

Aerodrome Finance, launched in 2023, is the primary liquidity hub for the Base blockchain, a Layer 2 network developed by Coinbase. Built on the Velodrome V2 technology stack, Aerodrome facilitates low-slippage trading and liquidity pooling while using a decentralized governance model powered by AERO and veAERO tokens. Its role as a liquidity hub makes Aerodrome essential to the growth and sustainability of DeFi on Base.

The introduction of the $LRDS/WETH liquidity pool ties the world of Web3 gaming and DeFi closer together, enabling BLOCKLORDS players to engage with decentralized financial infrastructure while being rewarded for supporting the liquidity of $LRDS.
