Velodrome is now live on BOB

Velodrome, a prominent vote-escrowed automated market maker (ve(3,3) AMM) and liquidity hub on Optimism, announced that its decentralized exchange is now live on BOB, a hybrid Layer 2 network that connects Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems. According to the project’s posts and BOB ecosystem communications, the deployment brings Velodrome’s concentrated liquidity pools, gauge/voting incentives, and bribe-driven emissions model to the BOB rollup, enabling users to trade and provide liquidity for assets bridged to or native on BOB. This integration is part of Velodrome’s broader expansion from its original Optimism base to multiple rollups while preserving its governance and rewards architecture for VELO lockers and partner protocols. For BOB, which positions itself as a modular Bitcoin L2 secured by Ethereum and focused on DeFi, having Velodrome go live is a strategic step in bootstrapping on-chain liquidity and attracting builders and users familiar with the ve(3,3) model. The listing of VELO and other core pools on BOB gives protocols on the network access to a battle-tested DEX infrastructure and a liquidity flywheel that has been central to DeFi activity on Optimism. The launch underscores the increasing competition among emerging rollups to secure established DEX partners as liquidity anchors, and reflects a continuing trend of Ethereum-native DeFi protocols extending to Bitcoin-adjacent L2s to capture new order flow and broaden their user base.
