Introducing Lithos

Lithos is the native ve(3,3) DEX for the Plasma ecosystem.
It is designed to be the foundation where liquidity, yields and game theory come together.

The vision is simple: to become the home of Plasma assets such as XPL, USDT0, yield-bearing stablecoins like USDE and USDAI, RWAs and other native Plasma tokens.

What is ve(3,3)?
The ve(3,3) model is one of the most effective applications of game theory in DeFi, pioneered by Andre Cronje's Solidly. Locking tokens (ve) aligns holders long-term, while the 3,3 dynamic creates a positive-sum system where cooperation leads to greater outcomes for all holders.

The Flywheel:
→ Token holders lock LITH → receive veLITH
→ veLITH holders vote on which pools receive emissions
→ Projects add rewards to their pools to attract votes
→ Liquidity flows into incentivized pools
→ Liquidity providers earn both DEX emissions and partner rewards
→ The cycle repeats

This model has proven itself across numerous ecosystems, most notably Aerodrome on Base, peaking
