How It Works
AEON uses the ve(3,3) model — a combination of vote-escrow governance and game-theoretic staking — but with one critical fix: the emission rate is tied to actual revenue instead of being a fixed schedule.

Furnace burns AEON
Earns via buyback redistribution
More volume → more fees → more emissions → more incentive to LP → more volume
Fee Distribution — 80/20
Every swap generates a fee that is split at the protocol level:
- 80%goes directly to veNFT holders who voted for that pool
- 20%routes to the Buyback Engine, split 50/50:
- 10% of feesswapped to AEON and burned forever
- 10% of feesswapped to AEON and redistributed to Furnace burners — liquid AEON, no unstaking required
Epoch Cycle
The protocol runs on weekly epochs. At the end of each epoch:
- Protocol tallies all fees collected across every pool
- New AEON is minted so its USD value equals exactly 25% of that epoch's finalized fees, converted through AEON's oracle price — no rolling average, no previous-mint growth cap
- 100% of that mint forms the LP gauge budget (the Furnace receives none of it). When CL/DLMM votes exist for the epoch, up to 20% of that LP budget is reserved for the Multi-Gauge Controller and the rest goes to legacy vAMM gauges; without CL/DLMM votes, vAMM gauges receive the full LP budget
- Furnace burners keep earning separately through the Buyback Engine's fee-funded redistribution share — unrelated to and unaffected by the emission mint
- LPs staked in vote-weighted vAMM, CL, and DLMM gauges earn AEON emissions throughout the next epoch
Pool Architectures
AEON supports three active liquidity architectures: full-range vAMM pools, Algebra Integral concentrated-liquidity pools, and Trader Joe/LFJ Liquidity Book DLMM pools. Each architecture can earn trading fees and automatic weekly, vote-weighted AEON emissions when its gauge receives votes.
vAMM emissions continue through the original voter and gauges. CL and DLMM emissions are supplied by the Multi-Gauge Controller to the existing gauges. Activating the controller did not replace factories or pools, migrate CL NFTs or DLMM bins, or move existing staked positions. The Vote page exposes separate vAMM and CL + DLMM modes; CL/DLMM votes are epoch-scoped and renew weekly.
The Furnace
The Furnace is a separate rewards track for users who want permanent exposure to protocol fees without locking up liquidity.
Burn → Soulbound NFT → Passive Income
When you burn AEON in The Furnace, you receive a soulbound NFT that cannot be transferred or sold. Voting power from burned tokens never decays. Ongoing rewards come from the Buyback Engine's redistribution share (a fixed cut of raw trading fees, swapped to AEON and paid out to burners) — unrelated to and unaffected by the AEON emission mint, which since 2026-07-13 sends 100% of every mint straight to vote-directed LP gauges instead.
The protocol's 50,000 AEON genesis burn remains permanently burned and continues to provide its legacy vAMM voting weight. Rewards already recorded before 2026-07-13 remain claimable through the original Furnace, and the Buyback Engine's redistribution route to burners is unchanged.
Lock (veNFT)
- ·Power decays over time
- ·Transferable
- ·Can withdraw after lock expires
- ·Earn 80% of fees from voted pools
Furnace (Burn)
- ·Power never decays
- ·Soulbound — non-transferable
- ·Cannot withdraw — permanent
- ·Earns via Buyback Engine redistribution
Burning is permanent and irreversible. Only burn what you are comfortable never getting back. The NFT and its rewards are tied to your wallet forever.
Tokenomics
AEON launched on Robinhood Chain with a one-time genesis mint of 90,000 AEON. All supply beyond genesis is earned through protocol emissions — there was no team treasury and no allocation held back.
Genesis Epoch
- Total minted90,000 AEON — once, at genesis
- AEON/ETH liquidity20,000 AEON seeded, paired against ETH
- AEON/USDG liquidity20,000 AEON seeded, paired against USDG
- Burned at genesis50,000 AEON — permanently burned via the Furnace, then voted 25,000/25,000 across both AEON pools
- Protocol burn rewardsEarns via Buyback Engine redistribution only, same as any other Furnace burner; the original burn never moves
- Team allocation0 AEON
Supply Mechanics
- New supplyEmissions only — exactly 25% of that epoch's finalized fees (USD terms, oracle-priced), forever after genesis
- DeflationaryBurned AEON is gone forever — supply can only shrink via the Furnace and buyback burns
Why This Model Works
Traditional ve(3,3) protocols inflate supply on a fixed schedule regardless of usage. AEON inverts this — token printing only accelerates when the DEX is actually used. Low volume = low emissions = less sell pressure. High volume = high fees = more reward for holders.
How to Swap
1
Connect your wallet
Click Connect Wallet in the top-right navbar. AEON supports all major EVM wallets. Make sure you are on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663).
2
Go to Swap
Navigate to the
Swap page. Select the token you want to sell and the token you want to receive.
3
Review the route
AEON automatically finds the best route — direct or multi-hop via WETH/USDG. Price impact and fee are shown before you confirm.
4
Approve and swap
If this is your first swap with a token, you will need to approve it first. Then confirm the swap in your wallet.
The router only swaps ERC-20 tokens. If you're starting from native ETH and swapping into anything other than WETH, wrap ETH → WETH first on the Swap page (flip to the ETH/WETH pair), then swap from WETH.
Earn (LP + Gauge Staking)
1
Add liquidity
Go to
Earn or
Liquidity and choose a vAMM, CL, or DLMM pool. vAMM deposits supply both tokens across the full range; CL positions choose a price range; DLMM positions allocate liquidity across bins.
2
Stake LP in the gauge
Approve and stake the pool position in its gauge. vAMM stakes use LP tokens, CL stakes use position NFTs, and DLMM stakes use bin positions. A gauge earns AEON when it receives vote weight for the epoch.
3
Claim emissions
Claimable AEON accrues in real time. Click Claim at any time to receive it.
Lock (veNFT)
1
Go to Lock
Navigate to
Lock & Burn and select the
Lock tab.
2
Choose amount and duration
Enter how much AEON to lock and for how long (up to 4 years). Longer locks give more voting power. Power decays linearly until the lock expires.
3
Approve and lock
Approve AEON, then confirm the lock transaction. You receive a veNFT representing your position.
4
Vote with your veNFT
Once locked, go to the
Vote page to direct your voting power to pools. This determines which pools receive emissions and earns you fee rewards.
Locked AEON cannot be withdrawn until the lock expires. You can always increase the lock amount or extend the duration, but you cannot shorten it.
Vote
1
Hold a veNFT
You need a veNFT to vote. Lock AEON first on the
Lock page.
2
Go to Vote
Navigate to
Vote. Your veNFT and its current voting power are shown at the top.
3
Allocate votes to pools
Choose the vAMM or CL + DLMM voting mode, then add pools and assign percentage weights. Total allocation must equal 100%. CL/DLMM votes apply to the current epoch and renew weekly.
4
Submit your vote
Confirm the transaction. Your vote is locked for the rest of the epoch. At epoch end, pools you voted for receive AEON emissions proportional to your weight.
5
Claim your fee rewards
Fees from your voted pools accumulate in real time and are claimable directly from the FeeDistributor contract for each pool/epoch you voted in.
Create a Pool
Anyone can permissionlessly create a new vAMM pool for any token pair — gated by a one-time 100 AEON whitelist fee to keep spam pools out. CL and DLMM pools for a pair are added by the team on request once real vAMM liquidity exists for it.
1
Get whitelisted
Go to
Liquidity →
Create Pool. If your wallet isn't whitelisted yet, approve and pay the one-time 100 AEON fee.
2
Choose your pair and fee tier
Enter both token addresses and pick a fee tier. The page checks both factories for an existing pool at that exact pair + fee before letting you create a duplicate.
3
Create and seed liquidity
Confirm pool creation, then add the initial liquidity in the same flow. The new pool appears on Liquidity/Earn/Swap automatically — no manual listing step.
New pools deploy through the current factory, which has correct, working fee accounting from pool #1 — swap fees route to voters immediately, the same as every existing pool.

Integrations & Tools
AEON exposes machine-readable endpoints for aggregators, explorers, and bots to index the protocol directly — no manual listing or static snapshot required.
- DEX Screener Adapter — Full spec implementation (/latest-block, /asset, /pair, /events) at /api/dexscreener/* — live, real-time, on-chain-verified. Covers all vAMM pools.
- Machine-readable pool list — /api/v1/pools — live reserves + token metadata for every pool, for aggregators and custom bots.
- 1inch aggregation — Wired in as a competing swap venue on the Swap page — AEON compares its own routing against 1inch's pathfinding and uses whichever quote is better.
