What is Reflex

Reflex embeds MEV detection and capture logic directly into the smart contract execution layer, running entirely within the boundary of the user's transaction. When a swap executes on a Supernova pool, Reflex evaluates the resulting price state in real time. If a profitable arbitrage opportunity exists Reflex will execute it atomically, within the same transaction. The profit doesn't go to a searcher. It goes back to Supernova's liquidity providers and traders. The integration requires no redeployments and no changes to Supernova's liquidity structure. It operates silently at the pool level, invisible to the end user.

How this Benefits Supernova Users

For liquidity providers: Every time Reflex catches a profitable trading opportunity before outside bots can, that extra profit goes straight to liquidity providers as additional yield, on top of the normal trading fees and rewards they already earn. Instead of outside bots making money from market activity, that value now helps grow the liquidity providers' positions over time. For regular traders, this also means sandwich attacks are no longer profitable. As a result, you get to swap at fairer, more honest prices.

For the protocol: Supernova retains value generated by its own order flow and circulates back into the ecosystem, strengthening liquidity, improving pricing, and making Supernova a more competitive venue for real trading activity.

Targeted protection for liquidity providers: Reflex uses JIT (Just-in-Time) liquidity attack prevention. JIT attacks are a strategy where actors inject large temporary positions into a pool right before a big trade executes, capture a disproportionate share of fees, then withdraw, leaving long-term LPs bearing the price risk without the reward. Reflex's integration with Supernova includes an optional minimum hold-duration mechanism that eliminates this attack vector entirely.

We're excited to work with Reflex to bring more value back to the Supernova ecosystem and provide more earnings for our LPers, voters, and traders.

Thanks to this overwhelming success, the Supernova team is turning up the heat with an extra 5,000,000 veNOVA in rewards! This extension includes a fixed 80% rebate rate for new Supermassive locks, but it’s first come, first serve, so don’t blink and take advantage before it's too late.

How to Qualify for Quantum Horizon Rebates

1. Total Rebate Rewards Pool: 5 million veNOVA

2. Create a Supermassive lock with a minimum of 2000 veNOVA (excluding airdrop locks)

3. Extend an existing Supermassive lock by at least 2000 veNOVA during the season

   This only applies to Supermassive locks, as long as the 2000 veNOVA minimum is met

4. If locks transfer between wallets, the rebate is awarded to the wallet that performs the locking action, ensuring fairness

5. Tokens claimed as Rebase will not be eligible for a rebate

6. Each locker can receive a rebate up to 10% of the season’s total pool. This cap of 10% encourages broad participation while avoiding concentration of rewards in a few large holders

7. The rebate will come in the form of a Supermassive NFT airdropped directly to qualifying wallets

Retroactive Rewards

Structure: The reward structure is fixed at a 80% rebate rate, meaning the program is capped to the first 5,000,000 NOVA locked as Supermassive veNFTs.

Distribution: Rewards will be distributed every 2 epochs. This means lockers do not have to wait last second to burn, but rather can get airdropped veNFTs shortly after creating locks.

Why Quantum Horizon?

Quantum Horizon is built around two core objectives:

1. Accelerate decentralization of ownership of the DEX by empowering and incentivizing community veNOVA holders

2. Make Locking More Attractive and Rewarding: The effective payback time for new locks (or adding to current ones) is reduced. This makes participation more cost-efficient and appealing, motivating fresh engagement and deeper commitment from the community

How Does Quantum Horizon Work?

Launching with a total of 5,000,000 veNOVA rebates available, the rules for the program are:

1. Create a Supermassive lock with a minimum of 2000 veNOVA (excluding airdrop locks)

2. Extend an existing Supermassive lock by at least 2000 veNOVA during the season

   This only applies to Supermassive locks, as long as the 2000 veNOVA minimum is met

3. If locks transfer between wallets, the rebate is awarded to the wallet that performs the locking action, ensuring fairness

4. Tokens claimed as Rebase will not be eligible for a rebate

5. Each locker can receive a rebate up to 10% of the season’s total pool. This cap of 10% encourages broad participation while avoiding concentration of rewards in a few large holders

6. The rebate will come in the form of a Supermassive NFT airdropped directly to qualifying wallets

   ---

Retroactive Rewards

Structure: The reward structure is fixed at a 100% rebate rate, meaning the program is capped to the first 5,000,000 NOVA locked as Supermassive veNFTs. There will be a 1:1 match for every veNOVA burned until the cap is met.

Distribution: Rewards will be distributed every 2 epochs. This means lockers do not have to wait last second to burn, but rather can get airdropped veNFTs shortly after creating locks.

Dune Dashboard

To keep everyone in the loop, a dedicated Dune Dashboard tracks fresh locks and rebate percentages throughout the Quantum Horizon program.

Dates for the program

• Season Start 2026-02-18 03:00 UTC

The Opportunity

The first few days of any protocol define its trajectory. Deep, productive liquidity from day one isn't just nice to have, it's the foundation everything else gets built on. Tighter spreads, better execution, real trading volume. That's what Cosmic Ignition is designed to boostrap as a supplement to the emissions distributed to participants by the ve(3,3) flywheel.

Starting at TGE and running for 15 days, the program rewards institutional partners and high-conviction LPs who bring meaningful capital to Supernova's core pools and keep it working through the critical first epoch.

The reward? A pro-rata share of 8,000,000 veNOVA, enabling protocol revenue share governance power and a direct stake in the protocol's long-term direction.

Eligibility

Two conditions must be met:

1. Deposit $100K+ in LP before the first epoch flip (Thursday 19th February 00:00 UTC). Your liquidity needs to be provided in eligible pools through a designated wallet before the first epoch flip.

2. Maintain a $100K+ time-weighted average over the full 15-day window. This isn't about a single snapshot. We're measuring sustained commitment across the entire duration.

What qualifies:

• You deposit $100K before the first epoch flip and hold roughly that amount for the full 15 days.

• You deposit $100K before the first epoch flip, pull it on day 11, but re-deposit $400K on day 15: your time-weighted average still clears $100K.

What doesn't:

• You deposit $100K before the first epoch flip but remove it after 12 days: your average drops to ~$80K. Below threshold.

• You deposit $10M on after the first epoch flip, on day 2. Doesn't matter how much: if you weren't in at launch, you don't qualify.

The message is straightforward: be here from the start, and stay.

Reward Distribution

Rewards aren't based on how much liquidity you park. They're based on how much you earn. veNOVA is distributed pro-rata according to the total NOVA emissions each qualified wallet claims from eligible pools during the 15-day window. The more productive your liquidity, generating fees, earning emissions, the larger your share.

This is a deliberate design choice. We're rewarding capital that works, not capital that sits. It sets the tone for Supernova's ve(3,3) economy from day one: governance power goes to participants who actively contribute to productive pools.

Eligible Pools

The following pools are eligible:

• vAMM-NOVA / USDC

• vAMM-NOVA / WETH

• CL50-XAUT / WETH

• CL10-WETH / USDT

• CL10-WBTC / USDT

• CL10-WBTC / WETH

These pools will carry a "Liquidity Program Eligible" badge on the platform, so there's no guesswork about which pairs count toward your position. Note: you do not need to keep your liquidity in the same pool but can rebalance this and move it to other eligible pools as long as you maintain a $100K+ time-weighted average over the full 15-day period on any of the eligible pools.

Tracking Your Progress

A dedicated Dune Analytics dashboard will track the program in real time (refreshed every 2 hours), showing:

• Your eligibility status — whether your time-weighted average meets the $100K threshold

• Your claimed NOVA emissions from eligible pools

• A full leaderboard of all qualified participants, ranked by emissions claimed

During the program, qualified wallets will see a live banner on the Portfolio page linking directly to the dashboard. After the program concludes, the dashboard will display final standings, including which wallets met the criteria and which fell short.

Timeline

Pre-TGE — DEX launches. Deposit window opens. Get your $100K minimum into eligible pools.

Days 1–15 — Program is live. Provide liquidity, earn emissions, track your standing on Dune.

Post-Program — Eligibility verified. 8,000,000 veNOVA airdropped to qualified wallets.

Why This Matters

Cosmic Ignition isn't a farming event. It's the opening move of Supernova's governance economy. The veNOVA distributed through this program places meaningful voting power in the hands of partners who proved their commitment when it mattered most, before the protocol had momentum, before the flywheel was spinning. These are the participants who'll shape gauge votes, direct emissions, and influence the protocol's growth trajectory from the earliest epochs. If you're an institutional partner or a whale looking to take a serious position in the Supernova ecosystem, this is your window.

Deposit LP before before first epoch flip. Stay for 15 days. Earn your seat at the table.

On February 24, 2022, Andre Cronje, widely recognized as the "godfather of DeFi", launched Solidly on Fantom. It was the first implementation of ve(3,3), a tokenomics model that combined Curve's vote-escrow mechanism with Olympus' (3,3) game theory to align the interests of liquidity providers, token holders, and protocols in a way that no DEX had done before. But the chain choice wasn't random. It was a practical necessity.

At the time, Ethereum gas fees were brutal. A simple token swap could cost $10-30. During hyped NFT mints or DeFi launches, gas could spike well past $100 per transaction. And ve(3,3) isn't a simple protocol, it involves users performing several on-chain actions: lock tokens, vote on gauge weights, claim bribes, compound rewards, and manage LP positions. That's multiple transactions per epoch, every single week. On Ethereum in 2022, the cost of participating in a ve(3,3) DEX would have priced out all but the largest whales. It simply didn't make economic sense.

So Solidly went live on Fantom, and the ve(3,3) model went on to inspire a generation of DEXes, Velodrome on Optimism, Aerodrome on Base, Thena on BNB Chain, Ramses on Arbitrum, and our own Blackhole, the leading DEX on Avalanche. All of them launched on chains where gas fees were low enough to make the model viable.

Ethereum, the undisputed home of DeFi, never got a native ve(3,3) DEX. Until now.

What Changed

Ethereum hasn't stood still since 2022. A series of network upgrades has fundamentally changed the gas fee landscape:

- The Merge (September 2022) transitioned Ethereum to Proof of Stake, improving network efficiency.

- The Dencun upgrade (March 2024) introduced proto-danksharding and blob transactions, reducing L2 costs by over 95% and easing congestion on mainnet.

- The Pectra upgrade (2025) brought further optimizations to data availability and validator operations.

- Fusaka (December 2025) introduced PeerDAS for data availability, hiked gas limits to 60M (targeting 150M), and stabilized blob fees, pushing L1 fees to ~$0.01-$0.31 and L2 under $0.01.

The results speak for themselves. Gas fees that once averaged 70+ gwei in early 2024 have dropped to under 1 gwei, often sitting at 0.03-0.5 gwei in early 2026. A complex ve(3,3) transaction that would have cost $50-100 in 2022 now costs a few cents to a couple of dollars at most.

We ran extensive testing on Ethereum mainnet, simulating full ve(3,3) cycles: locking, voting, claiming, compounding, bribing, etc. The verdict was clear. The gas fee barrier that kept ve(3,3) off Ethereum no longer exists.

Yes, Ethereum is still more expensive than Avalanche, Arbitrum, or Base. But the fees are no longer a hard limitation.

Introducing Supernova

Following the Fusaka upgrade, Ethereum L1 has emerged as the go-to chain for ambitious DeFi projects seeking deep liquidity and execution efficiency. Supernova's launch on Ethereum perfectly exemplifies this shift, as highlighted in Ethereum Foundation's Abbas Khan's influential X post documenting the post-Fusaka shift to Ethereum L1 and mentioning Supernova as an example.

Supernova is Ethereum's first native ve(3,3) DEX, purpose-built for the chain that houses the deepest liquidity, the most protocols, and the most active DeFi users in crypto.Supernova builds on the insights gained from our ve(3,3) DEX on Avalanche, which quickly established Blackhole as the leading DEX on the network by TVL, trading volume, and key community metrics, including token distribution, active user participation, and transaction activity soon after launch.

How Supernova Works

For those new to ve(3,3), here's the core loop:

1. Lock → Vote → Earn

Token holders lock NOVA tokens to receive veNFTs , ERC-721 positions that represent their voting power. Lock durations range from 1 week to 4 years, with longer locks granting more influence over the protocol. In addition, Supernova integrates the enhanced ve3,3 model first launched by Blackhole, enabling users to mint Supermassive veNFTs that provide special perks while simultaneously reducing circulating token supply via a burn mechanism, thereby creating deflationary pressure.

2. Protocols Compete for Liquidity

Instead of renting liquidity through unsustainable farming rewards, protocols can direct NOVA emissions to their pools by incentivizing veNFT holders with bribes. Voters earn trading fees and bribes from the pools they vote for, creating a self-sustaining marketplace for liquidity.

3. Aligned Incentives

The beauty of ve(3,3) is that every participant benefits from cooperation. Lockers who vote on liquidity gauges, earn fees and bribes. Liquidity providers get directed emissions. Protocols get efficient, sticky liquidity. And because emissions are directed by those who have locked their tokens, the people making governance decisions have long-term skin in the game.

Why Ethereum Needs Supernova

Despite being the epicenter of DeFi, Ethereum's DEX landscape is dominated by a handful of AMMs that haven't fundamentally innovated on their liquidity incentive models in years. Liquidity is either mercenary (chasing the highest yield) or locked behind concentrated liquidity positions that require active management without having a sustainable incentive-aligned model.

Supernova's Key Features

Deep, Sustainable Liquidity

Projects launching on Ethereum no longer need to spend millions on liquidity mining programs with no guarantee of retention. Through Supernova's bribe marketplace, they can efficiently direct liquidity exactly where it's needed, at a fraction of the cost.

Sustainable Yield

Unlike traditional farming, where yields come from inflationary token emissions that dilute holders, Supernova's yield comes from real trading fees and protocol bribes. veNFT holders earn because they provide a genuine service by directing liquidity to where the ecosystem needs it most.

Capital Efficiency Meets Governance

Supernova combines concentrated liquidity, volatile and stable pools with ve(3,3) governance. Liquidity providers can deploy capital efficiently while protocols can direct that capital through democratic, incentive-aligned voting.

MEV Protection

Supernova introduces an MEV protection and redistribution layer that captures extracted profits and routes them back to the protocol’s participants.

How it works:

🌀 Eliminates harmful MEV: makes sandwich attacks and front‑running economically unviable.

💸 Recaptures lost value: internalizes arbitrage profits, which can be redistributed to LPs, users, and the protocol treasury.

Dynamic Fees

🦎 Adaptive fee calculation: By dynamically calibrating fees in response to market indicators (such as volatility, trading volume, and available liquidity) this mechanism enables Supernova to remain competitive and attract higher trading volumes.

🔄 Real-Time Adjustment: The system recalibrates fees after each transaction, ensuring accurate, up-to-date alignment with current market conditions.

Composability With Ethereum's DeFi Stack

Being native to Ethereum mainnet means Supernova plugs directly into the richest DeFi ecosystem in existence. Lending protocols, derivatives platforms, yield aggregators, DAOs can all participate in and build on top of Supernova without bridges, without wrapped tokens, and without cross-chain complexity. All liquidity stays on Ethereum as all transactions get processed and settled on Ethereum main-net for max visibility and transparency.

Proven Track Record

Supernova isn't our first DEX. Blackhole has been live on Avalanche since July 2025, overtook incumbents on multiple metrics (TVL, Volume, Distribution, Community Engagement, Active Users, fastest growing DEX) and has processed over $25 Billion in volume serving as the liquidity backbone for the Avalanche DeFi ecosystem. We know what works, what breaks, and what needs to be different on Ethereum.

Audits and Security

Supernova is built upon the solid foundation established by Blackhole, which has already been audited by multiple leading security firms. Upholding our commitment to safety as a top priority, Supernova has completed an additional comprehensive audit conducted by Paladin.

Beyond traditional audits, Supernova also integrates Chainalysis’ Hexagate platform for real-time threat detection and alerting, delivering continuous on-chain monitoring to further enhance our security posture.

You can explore more details and a link to the full audit report in the Security section of our whitepaper here: link

What's Next

Supernova launches on Ethereum mainnet with:

- Full ve(3,3) functionality: locking, voting, bribing, and claiming

- Concentrated, volatile and stable liquidity pools

- A bribe marketplace for protocols to compete for liquidity

We’re starting with a controlled "soft launch", focusing on a select group of core pools to ensure a smooth and stable DEX rollout. As the platform matures, we’ll progressively onboard additional partners and expand our pool offerings and core DEX features.

Now, we are taking that experience and energy to Ethereum with Supernova, the first native ve(3,3) DEX. And of course, we are starting this new chapter by recognizing the people who made it possible: our community.

Airdrop for the Blackhole Community

The upcoming Supernova Airdrop is all about rewarding those who stood by us and stayed active within the Blackhole ecosystem. The airdrop will go to two groups of loyal supporters:

• veBLACK holders, who burned $BLACK to mint Supermassives and held with conviction

• Warp Speed participants, who engaged with the ecosystem and earned NOVA Points through their activities on Blackhole.

This is not just another airdrop. It is our way of giving back to our community that have helped us build Blackhole together and give them ownership and the right to earn part of the protocol revenue from our next-gen ve3,3 DEX on Ethereum.

Warp Speed and NOVA Points

The Warp Speed program was designed to reward our existing community who actively contributed to the growth of Blackhole. Everyone was able to earn NOVA Points by doing what our most dedicated users already do:

1. Provide liquidity in eligible pools and claim your BLACK emissions. Each BLACK claimed equals 1 NOVA Point

2. Burn BLACK to mint or increase your Supermassive veNFTs. Each BLACK burned equals 1 NOVA Point

The total number of NOVA Points you collect determines your share of the veNOVA Airdrop when Supernova officially launches on Ethereum.

You can read the full Warp Speed details here: blog

Airdrop Breakdown

Here is what you need to know:

Total community allocation: 132 MM NOVA

All NOVA earmarked for this airdrop will be burned to mint Supermassive NFTs, giving holders both a share of protocol revenue and governance rights in Supernova.

This total amount is divided over the following categories:

8MM is earmarked for boosting the initial liquidity via the Cosmic Ignition Liquidity Acceleration Program, full details on this will be announced soon. 20 MM is going to Warp Speed program participants and 104 MM will be airdropped to Supermassive veBLACK holders.

We are keeping this drop completely aligned with the values that made Blackhole thrive: fairness, transparency, and a focus on long-term value.

The airdrop for Warp Speed & Supermassive Drop will be claimable on our website at TGE (to be announced).

The snapshot for the Warp Speed and Supermassives Drop will be taken at: 17th Feb 3 AM UTC

You still have time to join in and qualify for the airdrop.

The Beginning of a New Era

Blackhole showed what can happen when a community unites behind a shared vision. Supernova will take that momentum to a new level on Ethereum.

This is the next step in building a DeFi ecosystem that lasts and keeps its power in the hands of the people who believe in it most.

To everyone who has been here since day one, providing liquidity, holding veBLACK, or joining Warp Speed: a sincere thank you 🤝 You are the gravity that keeps this universe together.

The countdown is on. Supernova is almost here.
