Supernova AMM Review 2026: Early ve(3,3) DEX on Ethereum

Supernova AMM is a ve(3,3) decentralized exchange on Ethereum that launched in early 2026. It is small and unaudited by public listing, so treat it as an early-stage venture.

Our verdict on Supernova AMM

5.0/10

Supernova AMM is an early-stage ve(3,3) DEX on Ethereum for experienced DeFi users who want to experiment with vote-escrow incentives. Its main strength is a familiar, proven design with both volatile and concentrated pools. The main caveat is size and trust: TVL is around $151,000, fee income is tiny, no audits are listed and the team is not named. Treat any deposit as high risk and keep amounts small.

What is Supernova AMM?

Supernova AMM is a decentralized exchange on Ethereum, described as a next-generation ve(3,3) DEX. It was listed by a tracker in February 2026, so it is a recent launch.

According to tracker data, total value locked is roughly $151,000, and the protocol generated about $262 in fees over 30 days. Public reporting references volatile pools, concentrated liquidity pools, a points program and a veNOVA voting system. No audits are listed and the tracker shows no native token.

Its homepage reviewed gives little detail beyond the name, so the team, fee tiers and documentation are not published there. The project is active on social media under the handle SupernovaDEX.

How Supernova AMM works

Supernova is an automated market maker (AMM). Instead of matching buyers and sellers through an order book, it uses liquidity pools: users deposit token pairs, and traders swap against those pools at prices set by a formula. Liquidity providers earn a share of the swap fees.

The ve(3,3) model adds a vote-escrow layer. Holders lock the protocol token to receive voting power, then vote on which pools get token emissions. Voters typically earn a share of the fees and incentives from the pools they back. Public reporting describes Supernova's concentrated liquidity pools routing swap fees to a community vault for veNOVA voters.

This design aims to steer liquidity to where it is most useful, but it relies on continued emissions and active voters. With low trading volume, the fee income that rewards participants stays small.

6 features

Key features

01

ve(3,3) tokenomics

Supernova is built on the ve(3,3) design, where token lockers vote on which pools receive incentives and earn a share of the fees those pools generate.

02

Multiple pool types

Public reporting describes both volatile pools (vAMM) and concentrated liquidity (CL) pools, giving liquidity providers more than one pool style.

03

Fees routed to voters

A listing notes that swap fees from the CL pools are routed to a community vault, which represents the veNOVA voters' share.

04

Swap routing controls

Frontend work described by a developer includes multi-hop routing plus slippage and price-impact controls for swaps.

05

Points program

Public reporting refers to a points program where holders with an active staking position, represented by a receipt token, can qualify.

06

Ethereum mainnet

The protocol operates only on Ethereum, which gives access to the deepest token set but means mainnet gas costs.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Uses the ve(3,3) model, which lets voters direct incentives and earn a share of pool fees
  • Offers both volatile and concentrated liquidity pools according to public reporting
  • Runs on Ethereum, with its deep token ecosystem and wallet support
  • Has a points program for stakers, per public reporting
  • Active tracker listing with visible TVL and fee data

Watch out for

  • TVL is very small, around $151,000, so liquidity is thin and large swaps may see heavy price impact
  • Fee income is minimal: about $262 in fees over 30 days according to a tracker, which limits rewards for liquidity providers
  • No audits are listed in the tracker data, and the project does not publish audit reports in the material reviewed
  • The ve(3,3) model depends on token emissions and voting incentives, which can fade if participation drops
  • Recent launch (listed February 2026) means a short track record
  • Team, fee schedule and governance details are not published on the homepage

Supernova AMM fees

Supernova's fee schedule is not published in its homepage reviewed. Pool fees are normally shown in the app when you pick a pool or review a swap, along with price impact and slippage.

A tracker reports about $262 in fees over 30 days, of which roughly $255 counted as protocol revenue. Public reporting indicates CL swap fees are routed to a community vault for veNOVA voters. Ethereum gas costs are paid on top of any pool fee.

Is Supernova AMM safe?

No audits are listed in the tracker data, and its homepage reviewed does not mention any. Like any AMM, Supernova carries smart-contract risk, and liquidity providers face impermanent loss. Funds sit in smart contracts rather than with a custodian, so users keep control of their wallets but bear the contract risk.

The project does not publish licensing or regulatory information, and the team is not identified in the material reviewed. Low TVL means thin liquidity and potentially volatile pricing. Use small amounts first and verify contract addresses and URLs to avoid phishing clones.

6 steps

How to get started with Supernova AMM

  1. 1

    Confirm you are on the official Supernova site and check the project's official social account before connecting a wallet.

  2. 2

    Set up an Ethereum-compatible wallet and fund it with ETH for gas plus the tokens you plan to trade.

  3. 3

    Start with a small swap and review the quoted price impact, slippage and pool fee before confirming.

  4. 4

    If you want to provide liquidity, compare vAMM and concentrated liquidity pools and understand impermanent loss first.

  5. 5

    Check for published audits and contract addresses before depositing larger amounts.

  6. 6

    If you consider locking tokens to vote, read how locks, vote timing and fee sharing work, since locks may be hard to exit.

Who Supernova AMM is for

Supernova suits experienced DeFi users who understand AMMs, impermanent loss and vote-escrow lockups, and who are willing to take early-stage and unaudited-contract risk. It is a poor fit for beginners or anyone needing deep liquidity for large trades.

Supernova AMM FAQs

What is Supernova AMM?

Supernova is described as a next-generation ve(3,3) decentralized exchange on Ethereum. Users swap tokens and provide liquidity to pools, with a vote-escrow system directing incentives and fees.

Does Supernova AMM have a token?

The tracker data lists no native token, though public reporting references NOVA in pool names and a veNOVA voter share of fees. Check the project's own channels for current token details before acting on any of this.

Which blockchain does Supernova run on?

The only chain listed is Ethereum, so pools and swaps run on Ethereum mainnet. Gas costs apply to all transactions.

Has Supernova AMM been audited?

No audits are listed in the tracker data, and its homepage reviewed does not mention any. Smart-contract risk is therefore unquantified, and users should look for audit reports before depositing meaningful funds.

How much liquidity does Supernova have?

Total value locked is about $151,000, with a 10.5% rise over seven days per the tracker. That is small for an Ethereum DEX, and the figure can change quickly.

Is there a points program?

Public reporting mentions a points program tied to staking positions represented by a receipt token. Details are not on its homepage reviewed, so confirm terms with official channels.
