Ammalgam DLEX

Ammalgam combines swapping and borrowing in one pool, so a depositor holds a two-sided liquidity position that is simultaneously lent out. The pooled two-asset deposit is the client-facing claim, which places it in the version-1 amm-lp dossier on an approved chain.

Review triggers: events that reopen the verdict
• The firm shelf policy for pooled two-sided liquidity changes
• Ammalgam offers a single-asset claim whose redemption does not depend on pool composition at withdrawal

Watched nightly: a warning on its venues or files, or a cited document that changes, reopens the memo. The first confirmation is due 2026-12-15.

The research file

Mechanism applicability

Ammalgam deposits liquidity into unified pools that serve swaps and borrowing at the same time. A depositor supplies two assets and receives a pool claim whose redeemable composition moves with trading and with borrower demand against the same inventory. That is a two-sided liquidity position with a path-dependent redemption value, which is the economic claim the version-1 amm-lp dossier describes.

Current observation and perimeter

The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-09-15 classified Ammalgam DLEX as Lending and reported approximately $202k across an Ethereum-only perimeter, listed on 2026-07-23 with two recorded audits. The yield survey the same day placed every observed Ammalgam pool under the amm-lp rule. Ethereum is an approved settlement chain, so the settlement layer is not the binding reason here.

Control and exit applicability

Lending against the same inventory that backs swaps means utilization can rise against a withdrawing depositor: borrowed inventory is not available to redeem until it is repaid or liquidated. Redemption returns a share of whatever composition the pool holds at that moment rather than the deposited ratio. Those are ordinary properties of the class, and the dossier treats them as class-level rather than protocol-specific facts.

Class rule

The amm lp class is outside the approved structures, so every protocol in it is not approved until the rule changes. The rule is about the structure, not an adverse finding about this protocol, and it is not a client instruction. The events that would reopen it are listed with the memo.

The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls

The research above describes the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The layer with the most administrative power sets the position’s effective control; that describes control, not quality or suitability.
