INDEX · SELECTION BASKET
DEX
highA basket of trading-pair pools on decentralised venues: the rate is paid for providing liquidity.
Movement is high: the criterion explicitly admits pairs with impermanent loss and carried the widest rate ceiling among the STABLE, COIN and DEX baskets in the selection snapshot — which is why the TVL floor here is lower and the review more frequent.
SELECTION RULE · FROM THE CENTER CATALOGUE
- pool TVL at least: $100,000
- total rate at most: 1000 %
- base (fee) share of the rate at least: the catalogue sets no such rule for this basket
- rate at most the 30-day mean ×: the catalogue sets no such rule for this basket
- observations at least: 30
- daily turnover at least TVL ×: 0.03

What is inside right now
This is the published shortlist of the selection, not a list of holdings. A pool on this list means one thing only: it passed the basket criterion on the snapshot date. The decision about money is taken separately, by a person.
| Pair | Chain | Venue | TVL | Stage | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDC-AERO | Base | aerodrome-v1 | $26.7M | proposed | 100% emissions — pays ONLY when staked in gauge; real IL on AERO |
| CRV-CVXCRV | Ethereum | convex-finance | $6.3M | passed screening | Emissions-dominated |
| WETH-CVX | Ethereum | convex-finance | $3.6M | passed screening | no data |
| WBTC-ARB | Arbitrum | uniswap-v3 | $3.4M | proposed | Real fee income, no emissions |
| WETH-KTA | Base | aerodrome-v1 | $4.2M | passed screening | Emissions only |

QUEUE · TOP-50
Queue into this index
A ranked list of candidates, not a quality score: the order comes from the selection-snapshot criterion printed above the table — the snapshot date is below the table. Every row shows whether the candidate passes and which rule it fails.
Reading the queue…
ENTRY PATH
How an entry happens
Six steps from a row in a feed to a position. No step moves money on its own.
01Scan
The engine takes the whole pool feed and stamps the snapshot with a time: from there on snapshots are compared with snapshots, not memory with memory.
02Criterion
Candidates that pass the published basket criterion remain. A rejected candidate leaves with a named reason, never silently.
03On-chain re-verification
The candidate's numbers are re-read on chain, not taken from the feed's word. If they disagree, the candidate stops here.
04Human confirmation
The founder looks at the candidate and says yes or no. Without that word the next step does not happen.
05Entry
The key signs exactly the plan that was confirmed. Key and declared address are matched before the plan is built; a mismatch is a stop.
06Monitoring
The position is re-verified on chain daily. A disagreement between the ledger and the chain halts the payout loop instead of hiding in a report.
The last word before money moves belongs to a person. The engine searches, measures and stops; the founder confirms the entry.
DEPOSIT
Deposit into DEX
Deposits are taken by the alpha.yldx.ai cabinet: there you get the receiving address and see your transfer. No addresses here — take them only in the cabinet.

RISKS
Risks of this basket
What breaks in a basket built this way — and how it becomes visible.
Active range
In modern pools liquidity is placed into a price range. Once price leaves the range the position stops working and sits entirely in the cheapened side of the pair. Returning into range takes an action, not patience.
Impermanent loss
The two sides drift apart in price and the share in the pool ends up worth less than simply holding the same coins. In this basket the loss is the largest: the pairs are volatile by the criterion itself.
Reward-token dependency
A visible part of the rate is paid in the venue's own token rather than in fees. The token falls and the rate falls with it, retroactively: the figure seen yesterday was computed at yesterday's token price.
