RAMSES DEX Hits Record Fee Epoch on HyperEVM

**Weekend Trading Surge** Ramses, a ve(3,3) DEX on Arbitrum, recorded an all-time high of **$51.9 million in 24-hour trading volume** on a typically slow weekend day. **Key Highlights:** - Weekend trading sessions usually see reduced activity across DeFi platforms - This milestone follows strong momentum from March, when Ramses achieved $153M in weekly volume - The platform recently hit $39M in volume over just 2 days during its 16th epoch **About the Platform:** Ramses adapts Andre Cronje's Solidly model with focus on community engagement, decentralization, and advanced DEX functionality. The protocol distributes veNFTs to major Arbitrum protocols, allowing them to manage positions strategically. The record volume demonstrates growing adoption and liquidity depth on the platform, particularly notable given the timing during typically quiet market conditions.

**Ramses protocol achieves deflationary milestone** The Ramses DEX has burned more $RAM tokens than it will distribute to liquidity providers this week, just 2 days into its 7-day epoch. **Key metrics:** - $RAM emissions to LPs this epoch: $27k - $RAM burned in last 18 hours: $13k - Current status: Net deflationary The burn rate is driven by increased $RAM → $xRAM conversions, where users lock their tokens. This marks a significant shift in tokenomics, as the protocol removes more tokens from circulation than it creates through rewards. Previous epochs showed burns covering roughly half of emissions, but this week's conversion activity has pushed the protocol into deflationary territory for the first time.

**RAMSES DEX reaches key sustainability milestone** as fees now exceed emissions for the first time. **Key metrics from latest epoch:** - $59k worth of $RAM converted to $xRAM - $29k worth of $RAM burned in the process - 90,381 $RAM bought and burned via internal MEV bot **Strong performance indicators:** - Revenue of $111k+ surpassed emissions of $104k+ - Trading volume exceeded $117M - Holder revenue reached $83,419 - $hyperRAM ratio increased to 1.077 with 93.27% APR This marks a significant turning point for the ve(3,3) DEX on Arbitrum, demonstrating the protocol's ability to generate sustainable revenue through trading fees while maintaining deflationary tokenomics through systematic burning mechanisms.

**Voting deadline approaching fast** - less than one hour remains before the current epoch ends at 7pm EST/00:00 UTC. **Action required for xRAM users:** - Vote now to secure rewards - Deadline is imminent **HyperRAM users can relax** - no immediate action needed. **Strong epoch performance:** - Over $113k generated in fees and incentives - Top 3 performers leading the way Don't miss out on rewards - xRAM holders should vote immediately.

**NestExchange paid out a $25,000 bug bounty** after security researchers identified a critical vulnerability in their core contracts that put user funds at risk. The exchange announced the bounty payment this morning following the vulnerability disclosure. **The $25k will be used to incentivize voters this epoch** rather than being retained by the team. Security researchers had reached out to collaborate on details and provide guidance on restoring safety for users and the ecosystem. The quick response and bounty payment demonstrates the platform's commitment to security and community protection. This incident highlights the importance of responsible disclosure and bug bounty programs in maintaining DeFi protocol security.
