Lattice — put liquidity depth where the votes go
Put liquidity depth where the votes go.
Pons locks one block of liquidity at the price and walks away.
Lattice puts a gauge on that pool, pays whoever fills the ticks either side of it, and hands the decision of which pool is worth filling to the people holding $LATTICE.
0xc6b585bb22cd400a8763b0c30b4c9ebb8c2a758801 · the gap
Locked
is not
deep.
A token that graduates from its Pons curve lands in a Uniswap v3 pool, and Pons locks that position for good. It is real liquidity and it is never coming out — but it stands on one band of ticks, at the price it graduated at.
Two ticks out, the book is empty. The next trade pays for that emptiness, and nobody is paid to fix it, because the fees of the locked position do not belong to whoever shows up.
Lattice pays them instead — in a token whose holders decide, every three days, which pool deserves the depth.
Everything sits on one band. A 6% move and the pool is quoting on nothing.
Emissions land on the ticks people actually fill, so the book thickens where it is traded.
02 · how it works
Five steps, none of them a range chart.
The hard part of concentrated liquidity is the part nobody wants to do. The vault does it, and the vote decides what it is worth doing on.
- 01
Choose a vault
Every pool that graduated from a Pons curve has one. The vault is the position — you never open a range yourself, and there is no NFT to look after.
- 02
Deposit either side
Put in the token, the ETH, or both. The vault swaps to the ratio it needs and mints one shared v3 position around the live price.
- 03
It holds the range for you
When price leaves the band the vault re-centres and carries on earning. Anyone can call the keeper; it costs the vault a fixed fee and nothing else.
- 04
Lock $LATTICE for a veNFT
Three days to a year. Weight is the amount times the fraction of the year still to run, so it decays every second — extend it, or freeze it permanently at full weight.
- 05
Vote, every three days
Next round’s emissions follow the votes in proportion. You take 80% of the fees of the vaults you backed, plus whatever incentives sit on them, paid in those pools’ own assets.

Preview figures · boosted APR assumes a lock matched to your share of the gauge
04 · boost
The same position, three different locks behind it.
A staked position with no lock earns 40% of what the same position earns with one. Point a veNFT at it and you climb, up to 2.5×. The full boost goes to whoever’s share of all locked weight matches their share of the gauge — past that it is capped, so you are never paid for more liquidity than you actually provided.
Nobody is shut out. The farmer who does not lock is simply out-earned by the one who does.
- No lock behind it1.0×

- A lock, partly matched1.6×

- Lock matched to your share2.5×
The ceiling. Above it, nothing more is paid.
05 · where the money goes
Nothing is minted. Nothing is rebased.
Every fee a staked position collects
Paid in the pool’s own assets, claimable the moment the round closes — not before, because until then a vote can still be moved.
- 1% pool feeevery trade in the pool→ the position that quoted it
- 80% of a staked position’s feescollected by the gauge→ that vault’s voters
- 20% of a staked position’s feescollected by the gauge→ the treasury
- 0.64% of the potevery three days→ stakers, split by the vote
The pot, round by round
A fixed pot, bought at launch, paying 0.64% of what is left every round. It decays without ever reaching zero — and because $LATTICE has no mint function in either direction, every token paid out was bought at the price everyone else paid.
No inflation, so no rebase to compensate for it. Lockers are paid in fees, not in more $LATTICE.
06 · the redirect
One field on the launch form.
Pons sends a launch’s creator fees to whatever address sits in its fee-redirect slot, and that slot is filled from a single box when the token is created.
A project that points it at its own vault turns its fee stream into a standing reason to vote for its gauge. It costs a form field, no transaction, and no permission from us.
And it is read back from Pons on every view rather than declared here — so a project that quietly redirects its fees somewhere else stops showing as pledged the instant it does.

08 · questions
Asked before the first deposit.
What is Lattice, in one line?
A ve(3,3) liquidity layer for Robinhood Chain: vaults that hold concentrated positions for you, emissions steered by $LATTICE lockers, and 80% of a gauged pool’s fees paid to whoever voted for it.
Why a vault instead of my own position?
Because the range is the whole game and almost nobody manages one well. You deposit either token, the vault mints and re-centres one shared position, and the gauge measures your share of it. There is no NFT to babysit and no tick to pick.
What happens when price leaves the range?
The vault stops earning fees and emissions until it is re-centred — out of range you quote nothing, so you are paid nothing. Any address can call the keeper to re-centre it, and doing so costs the vault a fixed fee that goes to the caller.
Do I keep my trading fees while staked?
No, and that is the trade. While your share is in the gauge, the fees it earns go 80% to that vault’s voters and 20% to the treasury, and you take $LATTICE instead. Withdraw and you keep the fees and earn no emissions.
What does locking actually pay?
By itself, nothing. The veNFT is the ticket: it lets you vote, and voting is what pays — the fees of the vaults you backed plus every incentive left on them. It also multiplies what your own staked position earns, up to 2.5×.
Can I vote for a dead pool to farm its incentive?
You can, and it will usually cost you. Backing a pool with no volume means giving up the fees you would have taken on a live one, which is what keeps the ballot honest without any rule policing it.
What if I never remember to vote?
Enrol the lock in auto-vote. The veNFT never leaves your wallet — it votes through an approval you grant, you claim your own rewards exactly as if you had voted by hand, and revoking the approval opts you out with no transaction at all.
Where does $LATTICE come from?
A fixed pot bought at launch, paying out 0.64% of what remains every round. The token has no mint function in either direction, so nothing is printed and there is no rebase.
