Catenaa, November 24, 2025- Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism faced a front-end compromise early Saturday, prompting warnings for users to avoid the main domains while teams investigated a DNS hijack.

Both platforms said the attack redirected visitors to a scam site that copied the layout of the genuine interfaces.

They stressed that contract execution on the networks stayed intact.

The incident echoed a similar breach nearly two years earlier, raising concern among traders about repeated domain exposure. The teams advised users to access the services through decentralized mirrors while recovery efforts continued.

The redirect issue affected several domain extensions linked to the projects. Visitors who attempted to load the usual addresses risked landing on a fraudulent page designed to capture wallet interactions.

By Saturday afternoon, the redirect stopped working, suggesting progress toward a resolution. Velodrome’s account had earlier asked its domain provider for help before removing the message. No further updates were available at publication time.

The earlier 2023 breach caused losses estimated at more than one hundred thousand dollars. Investigators later linked that incident to a domain registrar that handled the affected sites.

The recurrence of a similar issue led traders to question the resilience of centralized domain management for core DeFi platforms.

The event came as Dromos Labs prepared to merge Aerodrome and Velodrome into one platform called Aero.

The unified service is planned for a 2026 launch and will fold the current tokens into a single asset called AERO. Project teams said the vision for the new system remains unchanged.
