PumpSwap
PumpSwap is outside the current firm shelf under the version-1 AMM-liquidity-provision policy. The Phase 2 survey measured approximately $251.5M of Solana liquidity. PumpSwap is a constant-product automated market maker whose LP token represents two-asset pool inventory and fee accrual. This applies a published class rule to one protocol; it does not claim that every contract or operator behind PumpSwap is defective.
- PumpSwap ships a single-asset product with no synthetic or direct AMM inventory exposure
- A client mandate explicitly authorizes market making and defines pool, token, range, loss, and exit limits

The research file
Mechanism and why the rule applies
PumpSwap is a constant-product automated market maker whose LP token represents two-asset pool inventory and fee accrual. On its own facts the deployment matches the mechanism the dossier describes. The Phase 2 survey measured approximately $251.5M of Solana liquidity. This record keeps enough protocol evidence to show the rule applies and leaves the shared economic argument in the pinned dossier; it is not a separate flagship review.
Control and incident boundary
Pump documents creator-fee sharing and migration from Pump bonding curves into PumpSwap; token issuers and pool creators remain separate control and asset-quality surfaces. Those controls and the available incident record may change operational risk, but they do not remove the property the rule turns on. No clean-record claim is used as proof of safety: a young deployment can have little adversarial history, and an established deployment can execute its intended economics without an exploit while still remaining unsuitable for the advised sleeve.
Exit and current measurement
An LP burns its pool claim and receives the then-current token mix, so relative-price movement and thin token-side depth can crystallize adverse inventory at withdrawal. Aggregate TVL is an accounting measure rather than a promise that the exact client position can be unwound at the displayed value. The rule holds until a stated reopen condition is observed and a new review measures the exit at the proposed size instead of inferring it from a dashboard total.
Comparison and decision
Directly holding an eligible asset or using a reviewed single-asset venue preserves a legible principal exposure without continuously selling the outperforming side into the underperforming side. The comparison is made at the exposure level, not by brand or headline rate. The published dossier is preferable to repeating the same class judgment with slightly different wording for every venue; the protocol-specific sources retained here make the classification reproducible and the reopen criteria observable.
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.
Sources
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.
| Chain | Verdict | Control | Control constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solana | Approved with limits | Governed, no freeze | no admin key can seize funds, but stake concentration and a sub-25 Nakamoto coefficient are the standing watch items. |
