Fluxion Network
Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.
Fluxion Network is a DEX on Mantle built for trading tokenized real-world assets, pairing v2 and v3 AMM pools with an order book. Its liquidity positions carry impermanent loss: when a pair’s prices diverge, the depositor is left holding more of the weaker asset and less of the stronger one. That loss cannot be explained to a client in two sentences and is indefensible when it bites, so the class rule rejects every AMM pool regardless of protocol quality. TVL stood near $2.6M at the 2026-08-14 survey.

The research file
Mechanism applicability
Fluxion describes itself as Mantle’s live spot DEX, and its published architecture exposes both V2 pool contracts and a V3 factory and position manager. V2 LPs hold fungible pool shares; V3 LPs select concentrated positions represented through the position manager. Both supply inventory for swaps and collect fees as trades change the asset mix, directly meeting the shared v1 amm-lp dossier. A separate RFQ or limit-order path does not change the LP exposure reviewed here.
Current observation and lifecycle
The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-08-15 classified Fluxion Network as a DEX and reported approximately $1.98M TVL entirely on Mantle. Fluxion’s current official site advertises live Mantle trading, its documentation says mainnet is live, and current contract/API pages publish V2 and V3 components. This supports an active rather than testnet or archived lifecycle while showing TVL below the prior $2.6M survey.
Control and exit applicability
The LP controls when to remove its own position, but swap flow determines the inventory returned. V3 additionally exposes range and out-of-range risk through its position-manager architecture; V2 exposes full-range paired inventory. Fluxion publishes a security-program repository and Mantle contract addresses, but audits or a bounty do not restore the asset mix sold through adverse price movement or guarantee proposed-size exit in a roughly $1.98M venue.
Why the class rule decides
RWA branding, RFQ execution and lower swap slippage describe trader execution; they do not remove the LP’s market-making obligation or impermanent-loss path in the V2 and V3 pools counted as TVL. The shared v1 amm-lp dossier therefore decides before protocol-specific audit or Mantle review. Reopen only for a distinct Fluxion product whose client return does not require paired or synthetic market-making inventory, with independently verified contracts, cash flows and proposed-size exit.

The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls
The verdict above grades the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The least safe layer sets the position’s grade, and the position table names which one that is.
| Chain | Verdict | Grade | Control constraint |

| Mantle | Rejected | freezable | the team can push instant upgrades — there is no exit window a client could use. |
