Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.

swap.coffee is a DEX aggregator on TON that also runs its own liquidity pools. Depositing into those pools means holding both sides of a trading pair: when one asset moves against the other, the pool sells the winner into the loser and the provider exits with less than a plain hold would have returned. That impermanent loss cannot be explained to a client in two sentences, which is why the rule rejects AMM liquidity provision as a category. TVL was about $4.3M across four pools at the 2026-08-14 survey.

The research file

Applicability to the surveyed record

swap.coffee documents both an aggregator and its own open-source TON-native DEX. Its liquidity-provisioning interface requires amounts for asset 1 and asset 2, issues a user LP position against a pool, and later burns a specified LP amount to withdraw. The tracked TVL therefore belongs to paired DEX liquidity rather than to the route-only aggregator interface, establishing membership in the shared v1 AMM-LP class.

Current observation and perimeter

The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-08-15 labeled swap.coffee a DEX Aggregator, reported only TON, and showed approximately $0.12M core pool TVL, plus separately labeled staking and pool2 balances. Current primary documentation still lists Coffee DEX among the aggregator’s live liquidity sources and exposes pool creation, provision, LP-position, and withdrawal endpoints.

Control and exit applicability

The DEX supports multiple AMM strategy variations and routes trades across Coffee and external TON sources. A Coffee LP commits two asset amounts and receives a pool share; withdrawing submits an LP amount and returns the reserve claim produced by the pool state. Relative-price trading changes that reserve mix, so exit can realize divergence from simply holding the two assets even if fees and incentives partially offset it.

Why the class rule decides

The shared v1 AMM-LP dossier controls the tracked pool exposure because paired liquidity and reserve-ratio exit are fundamental, regardless of the aggregator’s route quality or current size. Reopen only if swap.coffee ships a materially separate investable product without LP-token, paired-asset, or impermanent-loss exposure; then review its contracts, control, liquidity, incidents, exit mechanics, and named TON alternatives independently.

Sources

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.
