CatexScaling Uniswap V4: How Catex Brings Hooks to Life
Since its inception, Uniswap has set the standard for permissionless and decentralized trading. With each iteration, it has pushed the boundaries of what automated market makers (AMMs) can do. Now, with the release of Uniswap V4, the protocol introduces one of its most significant innovations yet: hooks. Hooks represent a major architectural shift that enables unprecedented levels of customization within liquidity pools. This article explores what hooks are, why they matter, and how Catex is ...

CatexWhy Catex Is Moving to Unichain: A Candid Look at Our Pivot
In DeFi, alignment is everything. Teams, ecosystems, protocols, and users must move in sync for any decentralized protocol to succeed. Today, we want to be fully transparent with our community about the decision to pivot Catex from Polygon to Unichain.1. Adapting with Alignment: Our Move from Polygon to UnichainOver the past few months, we built Catex on Polygon with the belief that its established ecosystem, low fees, and deep liquidity would make it the ideal home for our ve(3,3) MetaDEX.

As decentralized finance continues to evolve, efficient liquidity solutions are more critical than ever. Catex, the MetaDEX of Polygon, is redefining liquidity provisioning with a capital-efficient model that empowers users. To spearhead this transformation, we are thrilled to introduce the Pre-Mining Phase, offering early liquidity providers exclusive rewards and incentives.
This week marks a major milestone as we officially pre-launch Catex, a next-generation decentralized exchange built to optimize liquidity provisioning and trading. With the integration of Uniswap V4 and a strategic partnership with Gamma Strategies, Catex introduces cutting-edge capabilities that maximize capital efficiency.
Users can now seamlessly swap assets and provide liquidity through our intuitive DEX dApp, unlocking a new era of trading on Polygon.
The pre-mining phase of Catex will go live on Monday, March 31, 2025. During this phase, early participants will have access to specific liquidity pools, earning substantial rewards in exchange for providing liquidity.
As part of the initial soft launch, the following liquidity pairs will be available for early liquidity providers:
POL/USDC
WBTC/WETH
USDC/WETH
These pools form the foundation of Catex’s liquidity, with additional pools to be introduced as the pre-mining phase progresses.
Liquidity providers in these pools will be rewarded with a generous portion of the initial supply, strategically allocated based on the token, LP pair, and any partner incentives.
Rewards will be distributed in eCATX, which represents ‘Early CATX’ tokens redeemable for a combination of oCATX and veCATX. This balances liquidity and long-term alignment, making it ideal for users seeking both flexibility and governance participation.
This phase is crucial for establishing liquidity on Catex, offering early participants the opportunity to earn a significant share of the platform’s success from the outset.
If needed, bridge tokens to Polygon.

Swap tokens for the desired pair.
Add liquidity.
Stake the LP in a pre-mining pool.
Ocelex is proud to collaborate with a growing list of strategic partners and integrations, each contributing to the platform’s success:
OpenOcean, KyberSwap, & Odos: Enabling optimal trade routes and prices for our users, maximizing value for everyone involved.
Gamma Strategies & ICHI Foundation: Powering Catex’s Automated Liquidity Management (ALM) Marketplace, offering advanced strategies to optimize capital efficiency and mitigate risks such as impermanent loss for liquidity providers.
Uni V3 & V4 Integration: Enabling concentrated liquidity on Catex, allowing liquidity providers to set custom price ranges to maximize capital efficiency and earn higher fees.
Through these partnerships and integrations, Catex is set to redefine liquidity provisioning and trading on Polygon, offering users unmatched liquidity depth, efficiency, and security. More partners will be announced soon, further strengthening Catex’s ecosystem.
Towards the end of the pre-mining phase, the Public Sale will provide an opportunity to join the Catex ecosystem. Following this, the Token Generation Event (TGE) will officially distribute tokens, empowering users to engage with the platform. As Catex progresses, liquidity incentives and governance participation will expand, rewarding early liquidity providers and setting the stage for a thriving ecosystem on Polygon.
Catex is committed to transforming decentralized finance by providing a capital-efficient, high-performance liquidity infrastructure on Polygon. By integrating innovative liquidity provisioning models and strategic partnerships, Catex empowers users to maximize their returns while ensuring deep, sustainable liquidity across the ecosystem.
Our goal is to establish Catex as the premier MetaDEX on Polygon, offering a seamless, secure, and efficient trading experience for liquidity providers and traders alike. With continued innovation and community-driven governance, Catex is set to become the cornerstone of DeFi on Polygon.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to roll out new features and details about Catex’s full launch.
