Our verdict on Hercules V3

Hercules V3 may interest Metis users looking for a DEX that advertises swaps, staking, and custom liquidity. Its Metis focus is the clearest point of distinction, but the project does not explain its pool mechanics, fees, or staking terms in detail. No audits are listed, and security and custody information is limited. Review the app’s transaction and pool details before committing funds; users who need well-documented fees or independently listed audits may prefer to wait for more information.
