Overview

Hydrex is a MetaDEX and Liquidity Infrastructure purpose-built for the Base network, designed as a coordination system where weekly community governance directs HYDX emissions and protocol revenue. Its core purpose is to optimize liquidity and value distribution across the ecosystem by rewarding protocol alignment and long-term growth. The Hydrex ecosystem introduces three types of accounts, Liquid, Flex, and Protocol, each catering to different user preferences and earning strategies. Liquid Accounts allow users to choose their trading and earning style across various strategies and are rewarded in oHYDX, while Flex Accounts enable users to earn weekly rewards by locking HYDX, gaining returns in rebased HYDX, fees, and bribes. Protocol Accounts, on the other hand, are designed for permanent participation and governance alignment, offering 1:1 weekly earning power through oHYDX conversion or rebases, with rewards in rebased HYDX, fees, and bribes. The platform's structure ensures that users can either manually participate in voting and claiming rewards or fully automate their earnings. Additionally, Hydrex operates under a reserve mechanism where accumulated USDC is deployed in low-risk yield generation, liquidity provision, and protocol development, maintaining a minimum backing of 0.01 USDC per HYDX. Its Flywheel model sustains growth by aligning incentives among liquidity providers, token holders, and the protocol itself, users lock tokens into NFTs (Flex or Protocol Accounts) to gain earning power and participate in weekly fee distribution. The longer and larger the lock, the higher the earning potential and voting influence in directing emissions toward productive liquidity pools.
