REST API for Aerodrome/Velodrome DEX – Trade Without Web3 Complexity
Hey HN! QuickNode team here, and we just launched a REST API for Aerodrome (Base) and Velodrome (Optimism) DEXs. What it does: Get real-time prices, quotes, and ready-to-sign swap transactions via simple HTTP calls. No Web3 libraries, no ABI handling, no complex routing logic. We support all 8000+ pools on Aerodrome. Why we built this: - Aerodrome uses three different pool types, making direct integration complex - EVM ecosystem is expanding, but developers need simple access to DEX data - Existing solutions require deep Web3 knowledge just to get a token price What makes this different: -…
In plain words
This REST API from QuickNode provides developers with simple HTTP access to real-time pricing, quotes, and swap transactions on Aerodrome (Base) and Velodrome (Optimism) decentralized exchanges. It eliminates the need for Web3 libraries, ABI handling, and complex routing logic by offering direct integration with all 8000+ Aerodrome pools. The API delivers block-by-block price updates, builds ready-to-sign transactions that users control, and requires no blockchain development expertise to use.

Hey HN! QuickNode team here, and we just launched a REST API for Aerodrome (Base) and Velodrome (Optimism) DEXs. What it does: Get real-time prices, quotes, and ready-to-sign swap transactions via simple HTTP calls. No Web3 libraries, no ABI handling, no complex routing logic. We support all 8000+ pools on Aerodrome. Why we built this: - Aerodrome uses three different pool types, making direct integration complex - EVM ecosystem is expanding, but developers need simple access to DEX data - Existing solutions require deep Web3 knowledge just to get a token price What makes this different: - Real-time prices: Block-by-block updates using event-driven system - Direct integration: Not an aggregator - we use Aerodrome's native routing (max 3 hops) - Non-custodial: We BUILD the transaction, you sign and relay it - Zero Web3 complexity: Everything via REST API Example - get AERO price: curl "https://your-endpoint.../v1/prices?target=aero&symbols=AERO" // Returns current price { "prices": { "0x940181a94a35a4569e4529a3cdfb74e38fd98631": { "token": { "address": "0x940181a94A35A4569E4529A3CDfB74e38FD98631", "symbol": "AERO", "decimals": 18, "listed": true }, "price": 0.6916062016185747, "price_display": 0.691606 } } } Example - build a swap: curl -X POST "https://your-endpoint.../v1/swap/build?target=base" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"from_token":"AERO","to_token":"USDC","amount":10.0,"wallet_address":"0x..."}' // Returns ready-to-sign transaction calldata Full docs: https://superswaps-api.com Technical Details: Aerodrome implements three pool types: - vAMM: Traditional Uniswap V2-style pools (x*y=k) for volatile pairs - sAMM: Curve-style pools optimized for correlated assets like stablecoins - Slipstream: Their concentrated liquidity implementation (adapted from Uniswap V3) We handle all the complexity of determining pool types, routing, and slippage calculations server-side. This is available as a QuickNode add-on. Would love your feedback! Try it here: https://marketplace.quicknode.com/add-on/aerodrome-swap-api https://marketplace.quicknode.com/add-on/velodrome-swap-api

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
