every swap you make pays a fee. ever wondered who gets it?
it goes to the people who put their coins in the pool. they're called liquidity providers, and without them there's nothing to trade against.
one pool, last 24 hours: $KNTQ / $HYPE.
- $1.88M traded
- 13.6K trades
- 1% fee on each one
- $18.8K paid to the people providing the liquidity
most traders only ever stand on one side of that: the side that pays.
the other side is open to anyone. it has its own risk, because your coins still move with the price, so fees aren't the same as profit. but it's the side most people never look at.
that's what we build for.

the goal was never another LP app.
it's a market where providing liquidity feels as normal as buying a coin. where you don't need to know what a tick is to earn from every trade that runs through your coins.
today it's still a pro sport. you pick a range, hope the price stays inside it, and stop earning the moment it walks out. most traders never even try.
so we're building it in steps.
step one was ladders. spread your liquidity over many prices, in any shape, and let the keeper move it when the price leaves.
step two was vaults. if you'd rather not manage anything, pick a leader and let the contract keep them honest.
step three is making all of it simpler and safer, one release at a time.

Vaults: earn like an expert LP, without building a position.
How it works:
1. Pick a leader. Every vault shows its pools, its performance and what the leader charges.
2. Deposit HYPE or USDC in one transaction. The vault turns it into the leader's positions in that same transaction.
3. The leader does the work: placing liquidity across up to 5 pools, collecting fees, rebalancing.
4. Withdraw whenever you want, back in the coin you deposited.
Rules no leader can break, written into the contract:
- The leader always keeps at least 10% of the vault in their own money.
- Every swap is checked against a fair reference price from the pool itself.
- No swap can move more than a quarter of the vault, and swaps per day are capped.
- New pools wait a 24-hour notice, so you can leave first.
- A vault can never be more than 10% of any pool.
- The leader is paid only from your profit, up to 10%, when you withdraw. Nothing at a loss.
- Closing is announced ahead, and everyone is paid out automatically.

most traders have never opened an LP position.
not because it doesn't pay. LPs earn a cut of every trade that runs through their coins. it's one of the best ways to put money to work on-chain.
it's because it was never built for them:
- the tools assume you know what a tick, a range or impermanent loss is
- you get one or two preset shapes
- part of your earnings disappears before it reaches you
- you find out a pool was a trap after you're in
- the moment the price walks away, you stop earning unless you babysit it
so we built laddex for two kinds of people. the expert who wants full control gets ladders, limit orders that earn fees, and auto-rebalance.
and the newcomer who just wants their money to work gets vaults.
pick a leader. every vault shows its pools, its APR and return, and what the leader charges. deposit HYPE or USDC in one transaction, and the vault turns it into the leader's positions. they run the ladders across up to 5 pools. you withdraw whenever you want.
the contract keeps it fair:
- the leader keeps at least 10% of the vault in their own money
- swaps are checked against a fair reference price
- new pools wait a 24h notice, so you can leave first
- the leader is paid only from your profit, max 10%, and nothing at a loss
shape your liquidity, or let someone you trust do it for you.

we could've launched laddex before elysium's public mainnet. the app was ready.
we kept it locked and finished one thing first: vaults. didn't want to ship those half-done.
so here's what laddex is.
providing liquidity is how every market runs. traders swap through your coins and you earn a cut of every trade. most people still never do it. the tools assume you know what a tick or a range is, you get one or two preset shapes, part of your earnings disappears on the way, you find out a pool was a trap after you're in, and the moment the price walks away you stop earning.
we built laddex for two people: the expert who wants full control, and the newcomer who just wants their money to work.
