Learn Vitreus
What is Vitreus?
Vitreus is a Substrate chain where staking produces the gas token. Stakers earn energy, transactions spend it as VNRG, and the chain sets its price in VTRS every session. Two tokens: VTRS for staking, governance and trading; VNRG for fees.

Price impact — Large trades relative to pool size will move the price. The UI shows estimated impact before you confirm.

Where do fees go?
On the launch curve, before a token graduates, the fee is split between the creator, the protocol and the token's treasury. Nothing is burned on an ordinary pool and no fee goes to stakers there; a launch token is the exception — its treasury slice is staked and the buyback it funds is burned. The Treasury page shows what has actually been staked and burned.
The tier is fixed per pool when governance creates it. Real yield — no token printing; every LP return is a fee someone paid to trade.
Earning
LP Yield
Provide liquidity to a pool and its swap fees accrue to your share of the reserves.
- Your position is yours to withdraw unless you lock it; only a launch's seed liquidity is locked forever
- Risk: impermanent loss if token prices diverge significantly from when you deposited

How CoreXus DEX Works
AMM Pallet
A native Substrate pallet, not a Solidity fork: constant-product pools, U256 math, per-position LP locks, fees kept in the pool.
Solver Marketplace
Intents are escrowed and filled by bonded solvers; a missed settlement is slashed, an expired intent is refundable by anyone.
Launchpad
Fixed-supply tokens sold on a VTRS bonding curve that seeds a permanently locked pool when it completes.
