# About Cellana Finance

The first innovative Ve(3,3) Decentralized Exchange on Aptos Network

<figure><img src="/files/Zrx9P9e8NLTHmhGfY8ec" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Cellana is a community-owned decentralized exchange on the Aptos network that fosters DeFi growth through a sustainable liquidity incentives model. This innovative DEX is the first ever which uses the Ve(3,3) Model in Move Language.

Our ambition is to become a vital liquidity pillar of the Aptos DeFi Ecosystem. We strive to assist emerging protocols in bypassing initial liquidity obstacles while also supporting established protocols with a sustainable plan to stimulate liquidity at minimized costs.


# Our Mission

Our mission is straightforward:&#x20;

* We plan to become the DeFi leader on Aptos by supporting DeFi growth through our innovative Ve(3,3) Model.&#x20;
* We envision Cellana as the first gateway for both fresh and established protocols that seek a ground-breaking liquidity incentive solution on Aptos.&#x20;

By achieving this, Cellana helps create added value for users and the entire ecosystem.


# Understanding the Ve(3,3) Model

The flywheel at Cellana Finance

The Ve(3,3) economic model tackles the obstacles of motivating liquidity providers and guaranteeing revenue for DEX governance token holders. Our groundbreaking strategy establishes a self-sufficient solution that effectively harmonizes incentives and rewards.

A cutting-edge DEX adhering to the Ve(3,3) model presents an optimal platform for emerging projects to establish their liquidity pool. In a traditional DEX, if a project desires to bootstrap its LP, the pool must offer enticing incentives and the ability to receive a portion of token emissions from the DEX. However, the DEX retains complete control over token emissions and can introduce incentives to liquidity pools. Consequently, projects or protocols possess minimal to no authority in influencing the DEX. Hence, the Ve(3,3) DEX resolves this predicament by granting the community the autonomy to incorporate incentives and redirect token emissions.

Traditional DEXes such as Pancakeswap and Uniswap encounter challenges regarding revenue distribution for protocol token holders and providing adequate incentives for liquidity providers.

Trading fees frequently fail to entice liquidity providers, resulting in the implementation of liquidity mining initiatives that involve token emissions. Regrettably, the continuous emission of tokens can significantly influence the token's price in the long run. Furthermore, protocol token holders need help diverting revenue from liquidity providers towards the DEX, as any such action would prompt more liquidity providers to withdraw, thereby diminishing overall liquidity and trade volumes.

In a nutshell, the Ve(3,3) model solves these issues through a unique fee and incentive structure:

* Directing all trading fees to voters.
* Attracting liquidity providers with CELL emissions.
* Empowering projects to add incentives into liquidity pools to attract voters as voting power represents a share of token emissions.


# User Flow

Providing a win-win solution for all parties

The Ve(3,3) framework ensures that the interests of all participants in the Cellana Finance ecosystem are aligned. This encompasses voters, liquidity providers, traders, and protocols.

<figure><img src="/files/92F9Eo4z6tUP0Uez9pFU" alt=""><figcaption><p>User Flow</p></figcaption></figure>

## Protocols

New projects/protocols have the flexibility to add any amount of incentives in order to attract voters to support their LP. As a result, the liquidity pool will receive a portion of CELL token emissions, thereby enhancing the depth of the liquidity pool.

## Voters

CELL holders have the option to lock their tokens for veCELL and become voters on the Cellana platform. By becoming voters, users gain the ability to utilize their voting power to vote on liquidity pools.&#x20;

This allows them to earn trading fees and the opportunity to receive additional incentives from the specific liquidity pool they have voted for. Typically, voters are motivated to select liquidity pools that exhibit high trading volume or offer attractive incentives, which maximizes their potential returns.

## Liquidity Providers

Liquidity providers are frequently motivated to contribute liquidity to pools that offer the highest token emissions. After supplying liquidity to a specific pool, these providers are required to stake their LP tokens in the protocol gauge to qualify for CELL token emissions.

## Traders

Trader will enjoy low slippage rate thanks to the deeper liquidity pool.

In summary, the Ve(3,3) economic model offers mutually beneficial solutions for all parties involved as the following:

1. Projects/protocols add incentives to bootstrap their liquidity pools and thus attract voters.
2. Voters participate in voting for liquidity pools that offer high incentives, enabling them to earn profits. As the number of voters selecting a particular pool increases, the pool receives a greater allocation of CELL emissions.
3. As the pool presents an appealing opportunity for CELL emissions, liquidity providers will contribute liquidity to the pool and stake their LP tokens to receive CELL emissions, thereby enhancing the depth of the liquidity pool.
4. A deep liquidity pool enables traders to swap with lower slippage, enhancing their trading experience. This increased liquidity will also attract a more significant number of traders to participate in swaps on the DEX, resulting in a higher generation of trading fees.

# Protocol Tokens

### Cellana uses a dual token model to incentivize all parties in the ecosystem:&#x20;

CELL is the utility token distributed through weekly token emissions which incentivizes users to add liquidity and stake the LP tokens in protocol gauges.&#x20;

### veCELL is Cellana’s governance token in the form of an NFT.

CELL holders can lock their tokens for a fixed duration in exchange for veNFT. veNFT gives holders veCELL voting power, which can be used to vote on liquidity pools and thus redirect the CELL emissions to the voted liquidity pools.

The lock duration will vary depending on users. The maximum lock-up time is up to two years as follows:

* 100 CELL locked for 2 years will receive 1 veNFT with 100 veCELL voting power
* 100 CELL locked for 1 year will receive 1 veNFT with 50 veCELL voting power

veNFTs can be merged, split, and traded on the secondary markets. Users’ voting powers diminish over time until reaching zero when lock-up time is over. Therefore, in order to maintain voting power, users must frequently re-lock their tokens, which helps enrich the Cellana ecosystem overall.

# veCELL Utility

veCELL has four distinct utilities as follows:&#x20;

* **Voting Power:** Holders have the ability to vote for liquidity pools weekly. The CELL emissions for the following epoch will be redirected to liquidity pools based on voting results.
* **Governance:** Holders will participate in voting for protocol proposals.
* **Fee earning:** veCELL voters receive 100% of the trading fees generated by the liquidity pools they voted for each epoch.
* **Incentives:** Voters earn 100% incentive rewards for the pools they voted for each epoch. Revenues are determined by your weighted voting power for each liquidity pool.


# Emissions Specifications

* Weekly emissions at inception: 1,500,000 CELL
* Weekly emissions decay: 1%

<figure><img src="/files/r44b9JX6vbIWdJFvzrZv" alt=""><figcaption><p>Projected Emission Schedule</p></figcaption></figure>


# Rebase

To reduce voting power dilution for veCELL holders, an allocation of the weekly CELL emissions will be distributed proportionally to veCELL holders.

The weekly rebase amount is calculated with the following formula:

Rebase = Weekly emission \* (Total veCELL voting power / Total $CELL supply) ^ 3


# How it works


# Swap

Lowest slippage for traders

**Swap Engine**

<figure><img src="/files/ujvcbVeeGnTjNwaWI5zx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Cellana uses a different swap algorithm depending on how assets are correlated to one another. The hybrid swap engine is as following:

vAMM – Cellana follows Curve swap algorithm to provide services for assets with low price correlation. sAMM – Cellana uses the Solidly stable-swap algorithm for highly correlated assets.

## Swap Fees

Cellana introduces a fully adaptive fee structure, where trading fees are dynamically adjusted in response to market volatility with min/max values of 0% and 10%, respectively.&#x20;

By default all V2 volatile pools are set to **0.1%** and stable pools to **0.04%**.

## Volatile Pools

Volatile pools are defined as assets that have no direct correlation in price. For example, CELL/APT is referred as volatile pool since the price of CELL has no relationship to the volatility of APT.

Volatile pairs use the following formula to determine the price:

x × y ≥ k

<figure><img src="/files/IiQh3R7AwGeUjXfkCWNz" alt="" width="188"><figcaption><p>Volatile Pool</p></figcaption></figure>

## Stable Pools

Stable pools are defined as assets that have a direct correlation to each other. Examples are USDC/USDT. The price of the 2 assets will trade very close to each other and thus a different approach can be taken to allow for much higher volume at low slippage.

Stable pairs use the following formula to determine the price:

x³y + y³x ≥ k

<figure><img src="/files/KhwK2oKQodbfGv6OuCwl" alt="" width="188"><figcaption><p>Stable Pool</p></figcaption></figure>


# Liquidity Pools

Add liquidity and stake to earn veCELL

Users can provide liquidity to Cellana liquidity pools in exchange for LP tokens. Staking LP tokens in the gauges makes users eligible for CELL emissions.

<figure><img src="/files/hEdxukLwHFp33Q3GvoMF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

On this page, all liquidity pools (LPs) are visible for users to observe and participate by adding liquidity. By staking LP tokens, liquidity providers are eligible for CELL emissions. The weekly CELL emission for each pool will vary, as it depends on the accumulated voting power for the selected pool.&#x20;

Consequently, the Ve(3,3) model initiates a 'liquidity war' where users are incentivized to provide liquidity to high Annual Percentage Rate (APR) LPs, aiming to acquire higher CELL emissions.


# Lock

<figure><img src="/files/8b7QrcUBKEJVTdZsBydg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

CELL holders have the option to lock their CELL in exchange for veCELL in proportion to their lock-up duration. The minimum lock-up duration is 2 weeks, while the maximum is 2 years.

For instance:

* Locking 100 CELL for the maximum duration of 2 years will result in receiving 100 veCELL.
* Locking 100 CELL for 1 year will receive 50 veCELL.

The longer the lock-up duration, the greater the amount of veCELL an user will receive. Consequently, they will have more voting power and thus earn higher rewards.

Upon locking their CELL, users will receive veCELL in the form of an NFT. This NFT is transferable and tradable, allowing users the flexibility to extend the lock-up duration at any point.


# Vote

<figure><img src="/files/wFVTyxIMx5UWL5LawocM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

After users exchange their CELL for veCELL through the lock function, they gain voting power to participate in LP voting rounds. Each voting round, lasting 7 days (1 epoch), enables veCELL voters to receive a share of trading fees and any additional incentives determined by their weighted voting power across voted LPs.

veCELL voters possess the flexibility to employ various strategies and tactics to maximize their returns on investment. The Ve(3,3) model allows projects to offer incentives, encouraging veCELL voters to vote on specific LPs. Consequently, Cellana ensures the alignment of incentives for all involved parties.&#x20;


# Reward

<figure><img src="/files/eygJXkqmdUkU5vTMZuT8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The reward function is dedicated to users benefitting from Cellana’s features. Ve-voters have the opportunity to claim benefits such as trading fees and incentives, while liquidity providers can claim new token emissions.


# Incentivize

<figure><img src="/files/ccCuOJSsZqtv3LAHCfx8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Projects or users have the freedom to add incentives to selected liquidity pools to incentivize veCELL voters to vote on the selected LPs. These incentives can consist of any tokens supported on the platform.


# Voting System


# Basics

The foundation of CELL Emissions

## Liquidity Acquisition

The primary purpose of a protocol's emissions is to attract users & liquidity. As outlined in the introductory remarks, liquidity can be more or less valuable. Cellana solves this problem by incentivizing emissions for pools that generate the highest fees for voters. The DEX self-optimizes week-over-week by constantly having voters go after the best voting APRs. Voters' interests are automatically aligned because they exclusively receive fees and bribes from pools they vote on.

## Voting NFT (veCELL)

Inspired by Curve, Cellana deploys the same approach by having users lock CELL into veCELL ("ve" = vote-escrowed), except for the difference that Cellana doesn't bind the ve position to a specific account but makes it transferable by tokenizing the ve position into a NFT (Fungible Asset - New token standard on the Aptos), thereby addressing the general capital inefficiency of ve assets, making them tradable.

## Voting Power

The voting power of the entire protocol is defined by the total amount of CELL token locked into all veCELL NFTs, multiplied by the aggregate linear time decay of the vests.

For instance, 100 CELL locked for 2 years translates into a voting weight of 100 which will be decreasing linearly. Therefore, 100 CELL locked for 1 year would receive a voting power of 50. If 10,000,000 CELL were locked  for 6 months, the total voting power would be:

0.5/2 \* 10,000,000 = Voting power weight of 2,500,000

## Rewards Distribution

Weekly CELL emissions will be allocated proportionally to liquidity pools based on the weighted voting power.&#x20;

For example, if a liquidity pool receives 10,000,000 voting power and the total protocol's voting power is 100,000,000. The amount of weekly CELL emissions redirected to the pool is calculated as following:

CELL amount = LP's total voting power/ Total protocol's voting power = 10,000,000/ 100,000,000 = 10%

Therefore, 10% of the weekly CELL emission will be allocated to the liquidity pools, and liquidity providers will be eligible to receive the emission by adding liquidity and staking LP token on protocol gauge.


# Voting Process

## Process Flow of Voting

1. Lock CELL into a veCELL NFT for 2 weeks - 2 years
2. Vote for specific liquidity pools (e.g. USDC-APT)
3. Collect voter trading fees and additional incentives only from pools you voted on

## Reward Flow of Voting

There are 2 types of rewards that voters benefit from:

* Voter incentives
* Trading fees

Voter incentives are always deposited prior to the start of the epoch. Voters who vote for a pair with voter incentives will be able to claim such incentives on a pro-rata basis instantly after the epoch has flipped (always Monday 00:00:00am UTC).&#x20;

The trading fees have yet to be generated, and at that point, they become claimable as they stream in. We recommend claiming trading fees once you've accumulated enough so that the gas cost to claim becomes negligible.


# Guidelines

In order to vote you first need a veCELL NFT, for which you will need to lock CELL.

## Step 1: Acquire CELL

Visit [https://cellana.finance/swap](https://testnet.cellana.finance/swap) to acquire CELL

## Step 2: Lock CELL into veCELL

Visit [https://cellana.finance/lock/create](https://testnet.cellana.finance/lock/create) and lock your CELL, locking it for 2 years gives you 100% voting & earning power, that power diminishes linearly over time.

<figure><img src="/files/hiemOGfyASQ04U015P77" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Step 3: Vote

Visit [https://cellana.finance/vote](https://testnet.cellana.finance/vote) then voting on your pair(s) of choice and hit the "Cast Vote" button to confirm the transaction.

<figure><img src="/files/GjuyJSwmK25Tiozyh82M" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Step 4: Earn

Wait for the epoch ends, voter incentives will be claimable immediately after the epoch ends and trading fees can be claimed as they accrue in real-time throughout the week. All rewards can be claimed on [https://cellana.finance/rewards](https://testnet.cellana.finance/rewards)

<figure><img src="/files/kvqx6MNEMGhaOn2cpt8j" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Alternative via OTC

veCELL can also be acquired by NFT trading. There's less liquidity, but users can find an attractive deal. The Cellana platform does not currently offer an NFT marketplace and existing platforms.&#x20;

veCELL holders can sell their NFTs through the NFT marketplace on Aptos. However, we recommend any transfers only be made through trusted escrows.


# Roadmap

# veNFT Marketplace

## **Overview** <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

Cellana veNFT Marketplace provide an interactive interface for users to easily buy, sell, make/accept offers on their veCELLs. The marketplace is a decentralized platform engineered to optimize liquidity for veCELL token holders and simplify the acquisition of voting power. With a focus on flexibility and transparency, the marketplace enables users to unlock the full potential of their locked assets while participating in governance and ecosystem activities frictionlessly.

Through dynamic pricing mechanisms, cost-efficient transactions, and an intuitive interface, the platform enhances liquidity management, streamlines voting power coordination, and fosters ecosystem development. This approach ensures that users experience optimal utility and accessibility while contributing to the growth of the Cellana ecosystem.

## Why Cellana veNFT Marketplace?

The Cellana veNFT Marketplace is designed to provide users with a simple and efficient way to unlock the liquidity of their veCELL tokens. The main functions of veNFT Marketplace are:

* **Buying:** Users can find top deals, discounts, and view details of the NFTs on the [veNFT Marketplace](https://app.cellana.finance/marketplace). The marketplace supports trading veNFTs exclusively in APT. Currently, user can only buy a whole offered deal. In the near future, users will be able to buy a veNFT partially; which allows them to customize their buying options.
* **Listing:** Users can list one or multiple veNFTs on [Cellana veNFT Marketplace](https://app.cellana.finance/marketplace). Once an NFT is successfully listed, users can view or update its details through the [veNFT Management](https://app.cellana.finance/veNFT/manage) interface.
* **Making Offers:** The marketplace allows users to make offers on NFTs by proposing a price they find reasonable. If the seller accepts the offer, the buyer will receive the NFT at proposed price.

# FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. **Why is Cellana a truly decentralized exchange?**

Unlike other DEXes where the protocols have total control over token emission, Cellana Finance allows veCELL voters to influence token emission through a voting process.

2. **What is CELL?**

CELL is a utility token distributed weekly through token emissions to incentivize users to add liquidity and stake their LP tokens in protocol gauges.

Cellana will release CELL token emission at the end of every epoch (7 days). The initial emission will be 1,500,000 CELL at the first epoch and then diminish by 1% each week.

3. **What is VeCELL?**

veCELL serves as Cellana's governance token, provided to users as an NFT. Users can lock their CELL tokens in exchange for veNFT, which grants them veCELL voting power through the "Lock" function.

Once users acquire veNFT with veCELL voting power, they can vote on liquidity pools. Through this action, veCELL holders not only earn trading fees but also any additional incentives associated with the pools they voted on.

4. **Can we trade veNFT?**

Once users own a veNFT, they can split it to trade on NFT marketplace at a pre-determined price.

5. **How to merge/split veNFT?**

User can manage their veNFTs to merge or split.&#x20;

**Note:** When veNFTs are merged, the lock duration of the resulting veNFT will be determined by the pre-merged veNFT with the longest lock-up duration.

6. **When do I receive benefits after voting on liquidity pools?**

veCELL voters can claim rewards at the beginning of the following epoch.&#x20;

7. **Can I reset my voting allocation?**

Unfortunately, veCELL voters cannot reset the voting allocation.

8. **What is the reason behind the variation in APR between the liquidity and voting tabs?**

There are indeed various APRs. The APRs on the liquidity tab are calculated based on the amount of CELL emission that will be assigned to a particular liquidity pool in the current epoch. On the other hand, the APRs on the voting tabs are determined by the trading fees and additional incentives provided.

9. **How to calculate APR on Liquidity tab?**

APR for a particular liquidity pool is calculated as following formula:

APR = \[(Cell emission amount \* CELL price) \* 52 weeks / Pool TVL] \* 100%

10. **How to calculate APR on Voting tab?**

APR for a particular liquidity pool is calculated as following formula:

APR = (Total rewards \* 52 weeks) / (Total votes \* CELL price) \* 100%

11. **When does the next epoch start?**

The upcoming epoch is set to commence at 0:00 UTC on Thursday.

12. **What are voting rewards?**

The voting reward for a pool is determined by taking into account the trading fees collected and any extra incentives that have been assigned to the pool.
