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

THENA FUSION is an Algebra-based concentrated-liquidity AMM on BNB Chain with manual ranges and automated strategies from Gamma, DefiEdge and ICHI. Official documentation warns that an out-of-range LP may hold only the falling asset and stop earning fees. The 2026-08-16 survey measured about $0.59M. We reject the market-making inventory under the version-1 AMM-LP dossier; automation, single-token entry and dynamic fees can reshape but do not remove adverse rebalancing.

The research file

Mechanism applicability

FUSION allocates paired assets within custom price ranges using Algebra concentrated-liquidity pools. Manual LPs select ranges; integrated Gamma, DefiEdge and ICHI managers may rebalance ranges or convert a single-token deposit into paired inventory. Fees accrue only while liquidity is active, and THENA states that a position can become entirely the weakening asset outside its range.

Control and exit applicability

The core team can modify Algebra’s base fee without redeploying pool liquidity, while dynamic fees react to volatility and volume. Automated positions also depend on the selected liquidity manager’s strategy and rebalancing. THENA is noncustodial and advertises no protocol deposit or withdrawal fee, but exit value is the strategy’s then-current token inventory and remains exposed to range, slippage, depeg and contract conditions.

Current observation and perimeter

The DefiLlama API read on 2026-08-16 classified THENA FUSION as a DEX and reported approximately $0.59M entirely on Binance/BNB Chain. This application covers the concentrated-liquidity deployment, not THENA’s classic, stable or weighted pools, perpetual exchange, governance locks or unrelated products.

Why the class rule decides

Manual and managed FUSION claims both remain positions whose token composition changes as traders move price through a range. Manager activity may mitigate loss but cannot eliminate the underlying AMM inventory, making the version-1 AMM-LP dossier fundamental. Reopen only for an economically separate THENA product without paired market-making exposure.

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.
