Solidly V3
Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.
Solidly V3 is a concentrated-liquidity AMM that combines Uniswap-V3-style positions with Solidly’s ve(3,3) fee and incentive system. Current measured balances span Optimism, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Fantom, Sonic and Base and totaled about $96,000 on 2026-08-16. Each LP position remains a price-bounded two-asset inventory claim; emissions and vote-directed fees do not eliminate out-of-range concentration or impermanent loss. The AMM-LP class rejection therefore remains fundamental.
- Ships a product line without impermanent-loss exposure that merits its own review
The research file
Mechanism applicability
Solidly describes V3 as an improved Uniswap V3 core integrated with ve(3,3). The verified contracts expose factory, pool and position-minting logic for concentrated-liquidity positions. LPs choose bounded liquidity rather than making a fixed-rate loan, so the position changes token composition as trades move the pool price through its range.
Control and incentive applicability
Solidly’s factory contract controls pool creation and protocol-fee configuration, while veSOLID voting directs incentives and fee economics. The project publishes a dedicated V3 audit repository and analytics implementation. Audits and public code are useful controls, but neither changes the LP’s two-asset price-range exposure.
Exit and perimeter applicability
An LP exits by decreasing a V3 position and collecting the resulting token amounts; the mix depends on the pool price and chosen range at exit. The 2026-08-16 survey measured approximately $27,000 on Base, $25,000 on Optimism, $19,000 on Ethereum, $18,000 on Arbitrum, $7,000 on Sonic and less than $500 on Fantom.
Why the dossier still applies
The multichain correction does not change classification: all measured deployments are the same concentrated-liquidity AMM exposure. Reopen only if Solidly ships a separately reviewable product without paired-asset inventory rebalancing. More TVL, additional chains, veSOLID emissions or automated range management would not meet that criterion.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP Mainnet | Rejected | hybrid | Ethereum forced inclusion limits sequencer censorship, but the Foundation and Security Council can co-sign an immediate upgrade before a client can exit. |
| Ethereum | Approved | sovereign | No sequencer, no upgrade key, no operator who can be compelled — rule changes require social consensus. |
| Arbitrum One | Approved · limits | hybrid | a single sequencer orders >99% of transactions and admin keys can upgrade bridge contracts on a ~7-day timelock. |
| Base | Approved · limits | hybrid | Coinbase — one regulated US company — operates the only sequencer, and admin keys can upgrade bridge contracts within ~7 days. |
