Ramses CL V2
Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.
Ramses CL V2 is a concentrated-liquidity exchange, deployed on Hyperliquid L1 in this survey. Concentrated liquidity makes the AMM problem sharper, not softer: a provider commits both assets inside a chosen price band, and when the price leaves the band the position converts entirely into the losing asset and stops earning fees. The client sees a loss they were never told to expect in a position we recommended, so the rule rejects the category regardless of execution quality. TVL was about $4.1M across nine pools at the 2026-08-14 survey.

The research file
Applicability to the surveyed record
Ramses documents an orderbook-style concentrated-liquidity AMM in which an LP assigns both pool assets to a chosen tick range. Liquidity earns only while price is inside the range, and Ramses explicitly states that tighter ranges create more impermanent loss. This is direct membership in the shared v1 AMM-LP class.
Current observation and perimeter
The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-08-15 classified Ramses CL V2 as Dexs and showed approximately $5.72M TVL across Hyperliquid L1, Robinhood Chain, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Current Ramses contract documentation publishes V3 concentrated-liquidity factories, pools, position managers, routers, access-control contracts, multisig, and timelock across its multichain deployment; the registry perimeter is updated from the prior Hyperliquid-only snapshot.
Control and exit applicability
The LP chooses range and fee tier, while protocol factories, position managers, gauges, access-control contracts, multisig, and timelock govern pool and incentive infrastructure. When price leaves the range, liquidity becomes inactive and the position can become entirely one token; Ramses warns tighter concentration increases impermanent loss, and a range-order exit can fail if price crosses and reverses before withdrawal.
Why the class rule decides
The shared v1 AMM-LP dossier controls because active range management changes capital efficiency but not paired-inventory divergence. Reopen only if Ramses ships a materially separate investable product without LP-token, paired-asset, concentrated-range, or impermanent-loss exposure; then review that product’s contracts, control, liquidity, incidents, exit path, and named alternatives independently.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyperliquid / HyperEVM | Rejected | freezable | a 21-validator permissioned set operates both the chain and its bridge — one compromise reaches both. |
| Robinhood Chain | Rejected | hybrid | one sequencer and two permissioned validators sit beneath an emergency council and transaction filter that can defeat the normal force-inclusion backstop. |
| Polygon PoS | Rejected | hybrid | a public validator set orders transactions, but a 5-of-9 multisig can instantly upgrade staking and canonical bridge contracts, while a 5-of-8 controls custom child tokens. |
| Arbitrum One | Approved · limits | hybrid | a single sequencer orders >99% of transactions and admin keys can upgrade bridge contracts on a ~7-day timelock. |
