SMESH is a utility token built on Base (Ethereum L2) that connects traditional short-duration trade finance with decentralised liquidity. Protocol fees from real trade finance transactions flow on-chain automatically, deepening SMESH/USDC liquidity and buying back tokens from the open market. The result: a self-reinforcing liquidity engine backed by real economic activity, not speculation. Fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. No minting ever. Every settlement cycle reduces supply and deepens the pool — permanently, by smart contract.
1. The Problem
1.1 Trade Finance Has a Funding Gap
Short-duration trade finance (30–120 day cycles) is one of the most consistent asset categories in traditional finance — historically low default rates. Yet most of this capital comes from banks and large institutions. Small-to-mid originators struggle to access the market.
1.2 Crypto Liquidity Lacks Real Backing
Most DeFi tokens have no underlying economic activity. Liquidity pools exist purely for speculation. When sentiment turns, liquidity disappears.
1.3 The Gap
There is no clean on-chain mechanism for trade finance protocol fees to flow into a token's liquidity pool in a transparent, auditable, and automated way. SMESH solves this.
2. The Solution: SMESH
SMESH bridges these two worlds:
- For trade finance originators: access to a capital pool via SPV structure, with fast settlement
- For protocol participants: protocol fees from trade finance flow into the LP pool and burn mechanism
- For token holders: every trade settlement and every fee distribution permanently reduces SMESH supply
The token is not a security. It is a utility token that powers settlement mechanics and grants protocol access rights within the SMESH ecosystem. Token holders have no legal claim to Foundation revenues.
2.1 The Protocol Fee Flow
Trade Finance Deal (30–120 days)
↓
Foundation SPV receives USDC repayment
↓
Foundation sends USDC → YieldReceiverV2 contract
↓
70% → LiquidityManagerV2 → Aerodrome SMESH/USDC Pool (Protocol-Owned Liquidity)
30% → BuybackBurnerV2 → buys SMESH on Aerodrome → burns to dead address2.2 Settlement Burn (V4 Roadmap)
When settleTrade() is implemented in V4, 5% of the SMESH-equivalent of each trade's USDC value will be burned per settlement — sourced from the Ecosystem wallet, not circulating supply. Example: a $10,000 trade at $0.05/SMESH = 200,000 SMESH equivalent → 10,000 SMESH burned from Ecosystem reserve.
2.3 Protocol-Owned Liquidity
The 70% directed to liquidity is not borrowed or rented — it becomes permanent Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL). The Foundation holds LP tokens and never withdraws. This creates a guaranteed permanent base that cannot be pulled.

3.1 Supply Distribution
- Liquidity Pool Seeding: 15,000,000 SMESH (1.5%) — Aerodrome market making
- Protocol Reserve: held under vesting contract for long-term POL
- Ecosystem / Partnerships: originator incentives, staking distributions, marketing
- Foundation: subject to vesting schedule
4. OTC Vault Mechanic
Contribute USDC to the protocol liquidity pool and receive SMESH at a protocol-calculated participation rate based on current pool depth. Your USDC deepens the Aerodrome pool permanently as Protocol-Owned Liquidity. SMESH received can be staked immediately for ecosystem distributions. Actual token values depend on market conditions — participants should review the smart contract and documentation before participating.
Tiered Flat Discount
Pool USDC Depth Discount
─────────────── ────────
Up to $50K 30%
$50K – $500K 25%
$500K – $2M 20%
$2M – $5M 15%
$5M+ 10%The discount is a flat percentage determined by the current pool depth at the time of purchase. It applies equally to any contribution size. As the protocol grows and pool depth increases, the discount steps down automatically — rewarding early participants for coming in when risk is highest. The buyer's USDC is injected directly into the Aerodrome pool as Protocol-Owned Liquidity, paired with matching SMESH from the Ecosystem wallet.
5. Tokenomics & Burn Engines
5.1 Burn Engines
Engine 1 — Protocol Fee Burn (Live): 30% of protocol fees received by YieldReceiverV2 are used to buy SMESH on Aerodrome and burn it permanently to the dead address. Fully automated and on-chain.
Engine 2 — Settlement Burn (V4 Roadmap): 5% of the SMESH-equivalent of each trade's USDC value burned per settlement, sourced from the Ecosystem wallet — not from circulating supply.
5.2 Controlled Deflation — Why SMESH Does Not Run Out
SMESH is designed for controlled deflation, not uncontrolled supply destruction.
These parameters are governance-enforced policy, subject to staker vote. The goal is to reduce excess supply gradually over time while ensuring SMESH remains liquid, functional, and usable indefinitely.
5.3 Liquidity Deepening Flywheel
- More trade volume → more protocol fees
- More protocol fees → deeper pool + more burns
- Deeper pool → larger OTC purchases viable
- More OTC capital → more trade finance deployed
- More trade finance → more protocol fees

6. Staking Vault
SMESH holders can stake tokens for fixed lock periods to participate in the protocol and receive ecosystem distributions.
| Distribution Rate | 10% annualised |
| Lock Options | 60 days (≈1.64% total) or 120 days (≈3.29% total) |
| Distribution Funding | Pre-pulled from Ecosystem wallet at stake time |
| Distribution Token | SMESH |
| Min / Max Stake | No limits |
Distributions are pulled from the Ecosystem wallet at the time of staking — the full amount is reserved on day one. No streaming, no vesting. Upon expiry, the staker calls unstake() to receive principal and distribution in one transaction.
Staking distributions are ecosystem mechanics paid in SMESH — not financial returns from trade finance. Token holders have no legal claim to Foundation revenues. The Ecosystem wallet (300M SMESH) can sustain distributions for decades at current participation levels.
Staking also serves a functional protocol role: total staked SMESH determines the maximum USDC Litial can deploy into trade finance. More stakers = more protocol capacity.
7. Governance
SMESH stakers vote on which trade originators can access the protocol and set collateral parameters. On-chain governance launches Q3 2026. Community discussion is open now via Telegram.
Governance does not constitute a legal voting right or shareholder privilege. See smesh.gg/governance for full details.
