About Velodrome Finance (VELO)
Velodrome Finance (VELO) is the governance and rewards token of Velodrome, an automated market maker and liquidity hub on OP Mainnet, the Optimism layer 2. On xswap.to it is listed under the ticker VELODROME. Holders lock VELO as veVELO to vote each weekly epoch on which pools receive emissions, and voters collect the trading fees and incentives from the pools they back. People swap VELO to cash out those rewards into another coin, or to buy in before a vote, with no exchange account.
Only one version is listed here: the ERC-20 token on OP Mainnet with contract 0x9560e827aF36c94D2Ac33a39bCE1Fe78631088Db. That is the current VELO contract; the token from Velodrome's first version used a different address and is a separate asset. Your wallet address on Optimism is a standard 0x address, the same format as on Ethereum, and no memo is needed. Moving the token costs a small gas fee paid in ETH, so the sending wallet needs some ETH on OP Mainnet, not on Ethereum mainnet.
Type an amount and you see a floating-rate estimate for the VELO exchange. Margin and payout gas are already deducted from that figure, and it can shift slightly when prices move before your deposit confirms. OP Mainnet adds a block every two seconds, so the VELO leg rarely holds things up; the other chain in the swap usually sets the pace. Your order page walks through each stage and shows a transaction ID you can look up on an Optimism block explorer.
VELO networks on xswap.to
Each network is a separate option in the coin selector. Send and receive only on the network you pick, and use a memo or tag where one is required.
| Listing | Network | Type | Memo / tag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Velodrome Finance | OP Mainnet (Optimism) | ERC-20 token | Not needed |
Before you send
- Send VELO only from OP Mainnet, because the deposit address will not credit VELO bridged to any other network.
- Keep a small ETH balance on OP Mainnet next to your VELO so the transfer's gas can be paid.
- Compare the token contract in your wallet with 0x9560e827aF36c94D2Ac33a39bCE1Fe78631088Db before you send anything.
- Send only liquid VELO, since a veVELO lock stays locked until it ends and pool positions must be withdrawn first.
VELO Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Velodrome listed as VELODROME instead of VELO?
It is the same token under a longer listing ticker. Wallets and explorers show the Velodrome Finance token as VELO, while xswap.to lists it as VELODROME. The contract on OP Mainnet, 0x9560e827aF36c94D2Ac33a39bCE1Fe78631088Db, is how you confirm you hold the right asset.
Which coin pays the gas when I send VELO on Optimism?
ETH on OP Mainnet pays it, not VELO. Without that ETH your wallet cannot broadcast the transfer to the deposit address. ETH sitting on Ethereum mainnet will not cover this; it has to be on Optimism.
Can I swap veVELO or Velodrome LP tokens here?
No, only plain VELO on OP Mainnet is accepted. A veVELO lock is an NFT that gives back VELO only once the lock ends, and a pool position is its own token, so neither is credited as VELO. Remove the liquidity or wait for the lock to end, then create the swap with liquid VELO.
What address do I enter to receive VELO?
Enter an OP Mainnet address, which uses the same 0x format as Ethereum. Most EVM wallets, such as MetaMask or Rabby, give you one once Optimism is added as a network. No memo or tag is needed for VELO payouts.
Why did I get a little less VELO than the quote showed?
The quote is a floating-rate estimate, so the final amount follows the market at the moment your deposit confirms. The payout network fee and the exchange margin were already included in it. A price move between creating the order and confirmation explains most small differences.
Does a VELO swap require an account or ID?
Neither is part of the flow: you enter an amount and an OP Mainnet address, with no email or signup, and receive a one-time address for the deposit. xswap.to itself does not ask for ID. Once in a while, automated anti-money-laundering screening by a partner holds a flagged transfer and asks for verification.
