Aera has partnered with Seamless to introduce autonomous liquidity management on Coinbase’s Layer 2 Base.
Coinbase is advancing AI agent integration, enabling crypto wallets and trading via AI tools.

Aera Protocol, a platform offering autonomous, data-driven treasury management, has partnered with Seamless Protocol and Aerodrome to introduce an advanced approach to liquidity management on Coinbase’s Layer 2 blockchain, Base.

The collaboration focuses on deploying Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) strategies, utilizing automation to enhance liquidity management for decentralized organizations.

Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) refers to liquidity held and managed directly by DeFi protocols or DAOs rather than relying on third-party providers. POL ensures a consistent token availability, POL reduces slippage and encourages deeper market participation.

“We are enabling DAOs and leading DeFi projects to automate and optimize their liquidity strategies in a simple, transparent, and autonomous manner,” said Matt Dobel, Head of Business Development at Gauntlet.

Aera’s partnership with Seamless, a decentralized lending and borrowing platform, and Aerodrome, a decentralized exchange on Base, focuses on utilizing POL strategies to optimize liquidity.

“Automating POL management saves valuable time and resources while embodying the principles of decentralization and governance,” said Richy, a contributor of Seamless.

Aera Protocol’s automation marks a significant step in liquidity management but currently relies on predefined parameters and oversight by trusted guardians like Gauntlet. While AI agents are not yet integrated, the system’s robust automation lays the groundwork for future AI-driven management.

The collaboration aligns with recent developments in the DeFi sector, where AI agents are being introduced to manage digital assets autonomously.

Coinbase has initiated the integration of AI into blockchain environments, enabling AI agents to operate crypto wallets and perform on-chain tasks such as trading, staking, and interacting with smart contracts.
