Core concepts
Ramses X
From Governance DEX to DeFi Infrastructure
Ramses has matured beyond a single-chain, governance-heavy DEX. Ramses X represents the next phase: automation, fee-first deployments, and a multichain architecture designed to scale without fragmenting liquidity or incentives.
Less effort. More rewards.
Architecture Overview
Ramses X is structured around three core components: canonical RAM, chain-specific execution, and a shared deflationary sink.
RAM Token & OFT Connectivity
RAM exists natively on Ethereum Mainnet.
An OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) adapter and hub coordinate RAM supply across all supported chains. Each deployment runs a RamsesOFT instance, but all are anchored to the same canonical RAM supply on Ethereum.
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Canonical RAM | Native token on Ethereum, single source of truth for total supply |
| OFT Adapter | Bridges RAM to other chains via LayerZero with feeless transfers |
| Lockbox | Holds RAM on origin chains while OFT instances mint on destination |
| RamsesOFT | Chain-specific RAM representation, fully backed by locked canonical RAM |
This allows Ramses to expand across ecosystems without:
- Duplicating tokens
- Splitting liquidity
- Weakening governance alignment
RAM remains singular, portable, and consistent everywhere.
Chain Structure & Fee Handling
New chain deployments begin with governance inactive.
Phase 1: Fee-Only Mode
In this initial phase:
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Liquidity earnings | Swap fees only |
| Protocol share | Used to burn RAM |
| Emissions | Inactive |
| Gauges & Voting | Inactive |
This creates immediate deflationary pressure tied directly to usage. No emissions are distributed until the chain proves organic demand.
Phase 2: Governance Activation
Once a deployment reaches predefined performance and consistency thresholds, governance can be enabled.
At that point:
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Fee logic | Expands to include RAM emissions |
| Voters | Earn fees plus incentives |
| Revenue stream | Backed by real activity |
This model enforces discipline. Demand is proven first, incentives come second.
Specific parameters including governance activation thresholds will be published alongside each chain deployment.
What This Enables
| Outcome | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Single Canonical Asset | RAM remains unified on Ethereum, no fragmented tokens |
| Independent Scaling | Chains scale on their own, starting fee-only |
| Earned Governance | Governance is activated after proving demand |
| Value Accrual | Fees either reward LPs or burn RAM |
| Automation | AutoVaults replace manual voting participation |
| Default Value Flow | Value accrues to token holders by default |
Ramses evolves from a governance-centric DEX into modular DeFi infrastructure.
Supported Chains
| Chain | Status | Governance |
|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | Canonical RAM | Native |
| HyperEVM | Live | Active |
| Additional Chains | Coming Soon | TBD |
Specific launch timelines, supported chains, and governance thresholds will be finalized and published alongside their respective deployments.
