Catex, a new MetaDEX on the Unichain platform, represents a unique solution for users and creators in the decentralized finance space.
Uniswap v4 Innovations: Hooks and Catex
Catex leverages the Uniswap v4 protocol, which introduces the concept of Hooks—programmable extensions inside the automated market maker (AMM). This feature enables stakers to implement custom strategies, ensuring coordination and shared liquidity. Such an approach positions Catex as a hub for developers looking to build the next generation of modular DeFi primitives.
Yield Generator and ve(3,3) Mechanics
Catex operates on ve(3,3) mechanics, allowing long-term and short-term stakers to capture significant yields. Participants holding veCATX receive 100% of trading fees and voting rewards. Liquidity providers can earn oCATX, which can be exchanged for CATX or veCATX, creating a stable and self-reinforcing yield system.
Launch Strategy and TVL Potential
Catex's launch strategy focuses on long-term sustainability and decentralization. The total supply of the CATX token is capped at 5.5%. It is anticipated that if Catex captures even 5–10% of Unichain’s total liquidity, it could represent substantial volumes ranging from $50M to $150M soon after launch.
Catex serves as a new solution for the DeFi ecosystem of Unichain, offering innovations for creators and appealing opportunities for investors and participants.
