Core Features & Mechanics
1. Traditional AMM (Automated Market Maker)
▪️ Supported Pool Types: Volatile Pairs (e.g., APT-USDC)
Uses the classic constant product formula: x*y = k
Stable Pairs (e.g., USDC-USDT) Uses a stable-swap formula for lower slippage: x³y + y³x = k
▪️ User Benefits:
Swap fees collected from trading activity are distributed to LPs who stake their LP tokens.
Extra token rewards (APT or other whitelisted tokens) are given as incentives to stakers in supported pools.
2. Burn & Earn Mechanism
▪️ Locked LPs:
Users can lock liquidity (LP tokens) for a fixed period. They retain the right to:
Claim swap fees
Receive farming incentives
▪️ Burned LPs (Permanent Lock)
Users can choose to permanently burn their LP tokens. In return, they receive a non-transferable or tradable NFT representing future earning rights from that LP position. This NFT entitles holders to claim both fees and farming rewards from the pool.
The LP position itself is non-recoverable (burned forever), adding deflationary pressure.
3. Multi-reward Staking
LP tokens can be staked to earn rewards
Swap fees
APT tokens
Partner tokens (from incentivized projects)
Only staked LPs are eligible to receive swap fees.
Projects can boost their own pool APR by supplying incentives in APT, QUOTE, BASE, or other whitelisted tokens.
4. Dynamic Fee Schedule (For Meme Pools)
Earnium implements a dynamic swap fee model specifically for high-volatility meme pools.
Initial fee is set high (e.g., 20%) to deter bot sniping and front-running at launch.
Fees gradually decrease to a default baseline, ensuring smoother price discovery.
5. Meme Pools
Users can create custom meme pools with a 1 APT deposit to prevent spam or malicious pool creation.
This fee may be refunded if the pool is legitimate.
Swap fee can be configured within a range of 0.01% to 20%.
Fee distribution follows:
90% to LPs
9% to Referrers
1% to Protocol Treasury
Supports dynamic fee schedule for anti-bot protection and price stabilization.
6. Tools
Zap In: A one-click tool to help users easily convert assets and provide liquidity without needing multiple manual steps.
7. Basic Token Swapping & Aggregator Support
Earnium will integrate with Thetis and Pandora to offer token swap aggregation, helping users get the best available prices across liquidity sources.
8. CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker)
Based on Uniswap V3 Mechanics: Users provide liquidity within a custom price range.
This boosts capital efficiency and rewards LPs who accurately predict price movements.
Benefits: Higher capital efficiency — more fees with less capital if LPs provide liquidity in active price zones.
Custom LP positions can mimic limit orders.
▪️ Risks: If the token price moves outside the provided range, the LP does not earn fees.
▪️ Fee Sharing: LPs earn a share of swap fees based on their active liquidity contribution.
Pools can be farming-enabled with additional incentives if supported.
9. Launchpad (Coming Soon)
A platform to support new token launches and project IDOs on Aptos. Designed to connect early users with promising projects in a fair and decentralized manner.
10. Staking Module (Coming Soon)
Users will be able to stake governance or platform tokens for: Protocol fee sharing
Governance rights
Future airdrop eligibility
