## What is Hydrex?

Hydrex is the MetaDEX purpose-built for Base, with a frictionless UX that pipelines users directly into the ve(3,3) flywheel. By combining automated strategies, strategic reserve tokenomics, and Base's powerful distribution channels, Hydrex removes the barriers to yield — and opens the gates to onchain finance for everyone.

**Hydrex operates as a public good on Base**, specifically designed to support the protocols and token projects that existing decentralized exchanges cannot or will not accommodate. While established platforms focus on major pairs and expanding to new chains, Hydrex doubles down on Base ecosystem support, filling critical gaps in liquidity provision and infrastructure.
