Lynex V2
Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.
Lynex V2 is Linea’s AMM liquidity marketplace, offering classic stable/volatile pools, concentrated FUSION positions and automated liquidity managers. Its own documentation states that impermanent loss and market volatility remain even when an ALM manages ranges. The 2026-08-16 survey measured about $398,000 of base Linea TVL. Fee sharing, oLYNX emissions and automated management may change return or convenience but not the paired-asset inventory exposure, so the AMM-LP rejection stands.

The research file
Mechanism applicability
Lynex supports CLASSIC stable or volatile pools and FUSION concentrated-liquidity positions. LP assets enable swaps and earn pool fees and incentives; concentrated positions work only over selected ranges. Automated Liquidity Managers can select and rebalance ranges, but the depositor still owns the underlying AMM position.
Control and incentive applicability
veLYNX holders direct gauge emissions, and oLYNX is distributed to LPs with exercise, locking or LP-redemption choices. Lynex publishes current Linea contract addresses and audit reports. Governance, incentives and ALM selection affect implementation and return, but do not remove relative-price inventory risk.
Exit applicability
LPs remove liquidity through the pool or ALM position and receive the assets represented at that time. Lynex expressly acknowledges impermanent loss and market volatility; an ALM can reduce or manage those risks but cannot promise the original token quantities. The current survey also records a separate staking suffix that is excluded from base TVL.
Why the dossier still applies
DefiLlama measured about $398,000 of base TVL on Linea on 2026-08-16. The fundamental basis is AMM inventory, not small size, so growth alone does not reopen the file. A separate product without paired-asset rebalancing could merit review; ALM automation, higher emissions or claimed impermanent-loss mitigation would not by themselves qualify.

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.
