The decentralized exchange AerodromeFi on the Base chain recently made big news—they claim that when processing SOL token trades, their execution efficiency is now on par with Solana’s native chain and, in some scenarios, can even be faster. This statement is clearly a challenge to the leading DEX in the Solana ecosystem.
As a Layer 2 network, Base achieving this level of performance for cross-chain asset trading likely comes down to improvements in liquidity aggregation and routing algorithms. However, the real trading experience will depend on factors like slippage during large orders and periods of high volatility. For a cross-chain DEX to take away the market share from Solana’s native protocols, promotional data alone won’t be enough—ultimately, users will vote with their feet.

Bragging isn't taxed, huh? If you really can do it, try having more big players place orders.

Hmm... Aero talks a big game, but when it comes down to real action? Slippage won't lie.

Sounds nice, but when the big deals actually come, slippage will still be off the charts.

It's the same old speed data comparison again, I'm tired of hearing this line. Do you really dare to compare slippage with Solana? I'll bet five bucks that as soon as a large order comes in, it'll fall apart immediately.

Talking it up like this—let's see if you can actually execute it. Slippage is the real issue.

Sounds nice in theory, but when it comes to large orders, the true colors show—slippage sends you right back to square one overnight.

To be honest, AerodromeFi's promotion this time is indeed pretty aggressive, but just hyping up execution speed is useless—you really need to be able to handle big orders.

That's right, the data may look good, but you'll only know for sure when you actually place a large order. Slippage is the only true test.
