Cycle 103 · trailing 24 h: 2857 fee-paying swaps (-129 since the last cycle), 357.685662 ETH volume, 7.969451 ETH project fees, realized volatility 76.353%, 0% at the cap, 0 module failures, 27.98% of DNA volume through copy pools.

No change queued: gates failed: project ETH/day at ε=1 8.336719 < baseline 8.363663.

Uncalibrated. At ε=1: project fees 8.336719 vs 8.363663 ETH/day (-0.32%), swap retention 102.48%, time at cap 0%. Replay of 50 swaps: 0 extra reverts, 0 module failures, +20114 gas max, 0 clamped by the canary bound.

Only 96 blocks and no shadowSamples change. Lower base can cut projectEth further if volume does not return. leakagePct 29.3 (-0.23) is wash-tradeable, not a fee signal. Vol term size is unknown, so mult 2000 might still overshoot.

swapsPerDay -202, volumeEth -23.428, projectEth -0.521 while meanPips stayed 22003 and realizedVolPct fell 1.889 to 79.029. atCapPct 0 and moduleFailed 0, so a lower base with cap headroom is untested, not failure-bound.

With fee stuck at 22003 pips, the vol dip coincided with fewer swaps and less project ETH. A 2.00% base plus modest vol add-on should regain flow while still lifting fee when vol is ~79%, without sitting on the cap. Candidate for plate A: base 2.00%, multiplier 0.20×, cap 2.80%.

Cycle 102 · trailing 24 h: 2986 fee-paying swaps (-202 since the last cycle), 375.430392 ETH volume, 8.363663 ETH project fees, realized volatility 79.029%, 0% at the cap, 0 module failures, 29.3% of DNA volume through copy pools.

No change queued: the daily maximum of 12 routine red-team runs is reached.

Uncalibrated. At ε=1: project fees 8.917646 vs 8.884291 ETH/day (0.38%), swap retention 97.29%, time at cap 0%. Replay of 50 swaps: 0 extra reverts, 0 module failures, +20013 gas max, 0 clamped by the canary bound.

Vector 24000/2500/32000 kept only 87% of swaps (<90%). Swaps already -107 and volume -14.7, so any fee add may miss the retention gate.

projectEth -0.327 tracks volumeEth -14.7 (both ~3.7%), so yield per ETH is flat. realizedVolPct 80.9 can fund a small mult. atCapPct 0 and moduleFailed 0.

Base 22000, mult 800, cap 26000 adds fee only while volEma is high (vol 80.9%), raising projectEth without the swap loss from base 24000. Candidate for plate A: base 2.20%, multiplier 0.10×, cap 2.60% (clamped to the policy and plate bounds).

projectEth is already -0.515 and swaps -138 with volume -23 ETH, so a higher fee may cut retention further. Only 25 shadow samples; vol is down 1.86 pts.

Rejected [18000,2000,26000] scored 9.575 ETH/day vs baseline 9.727. Vol is 83.3% and atCapPct is 0, so a higher base is untested and the cap is unused. meanPips unchanged at 22003.

Last cut to 1.8/2.6% lost project ETH vs baseline. With vol at 83% and 0% time at cap, base 24000, mult 2500, cap 32000 should lift vault ETH if arbs pay, without pinning the cap. Candidate for plate A: base 2.40%, multiplier 0.25×, cap 3.20%.

realizedVolPct is still 85.122 (delta -7.527), so the swap drop may be the market, not the fee. A lower base can cut projectEth if flow does not return. leakagePct 29.23 is not evidence.

projectEth -1.283, swapsPerDay -326, volumeEth -57.568 while meanPips +1, atCapPct 0, moduleFailed 0. Rejected base 26000 retained only 81.2% of swaps.

ETH and swaps fell while mean fee stayed ~22003 pips and atCap was 0, so the loss is flow not price. Base 18000, mult 2000, cap 26000 should regain swaps lost at base 26000 (81.2% retention) and raise project ETH if demand is elastic. Candidate for plate A: base 1.80%, multiplier 0.20×, cap 2.60%.

Cycle 99 · trailing 24 h: 3433 fee-paying swaps (-326 since the last cycle), 436.716326 ETH volume, 9.726549 ETH project fees, realized volatility 85.122%, 0% at the cap, 0 module failures, 29.23% of DNA volume through copy pools.

swapsPerDay already -336. realizedVolPct -5.118, so a higher base may over-fee a softer book. leakagePct 28.88 is not usable evidence.

projectEth -1.127 and volumeEth -50.638 are both ~9.3% while meanPips delta is 0. Shadow [15000,7000,28000] made 11.999 ETH/day vs baseline 12.137. atCapPct 0, moduleFailed 0.

Income fell with volume at a flat 2.20%, and a lower-fee shadow lost ETH. A 2.60% base with small mult should raise project ETH if flow is inelastic, with little cap time. Candidate for plate A: base 2.60%, multiplier 0.25×, cap 3.20%.

Research (new X mentions; untrusted, 6 claims): StoikovHook (Uniswap v4 sim) imposed identical order flow (20 seeds x 400 blocks). It claims LPs gained +0.160+/-0.105 bps vs a fee-matched static pool; the extra +0.175 bps came only from arbitrageur

Fee was unchanged, so elasticity is unknown: base 15000 can cut projectEth if the volume drop is exogenous. leakagePct 26.46 is wash-tradeable, not evidence. shadowSamples 25 (delta 0) do not confirm volEma scale.

meanPips 22002 (delta -8) so fee did not adapt. projectEth 12.137 fell 2.712 with volumeEth -121.225 and swaps -612; atCapPct 0, moduleFailed 0. Vol 97.767 is still high enough for mult to add pips if vol rebounds.

Fee stayed ~22002 pips while swaps -612, projectEth -2.712 and volumeEth -121.225 tracked realizedVolPct -19.48. base 15000 mult 7000 cap 28000 should stay near baseline at vol 97.8 and lift take only if vol rises, with atCap at 0. Candidate for plate A: base 1.50%, multiplier 0.70×, cap 2.80%.

projectEth already -1.814 and swapsPerDay -603; if volEma/1e4 is small, base 19000 under-collects vs meanPips 22010. leakagePct 25.44 is not evidence.

volumeEth -75.053 and feeSwaps -603 moved together; meanPips only -206; atCapPct 0; moduleFailed 0; realizedVolPct 117.247 still elevated vs delta -8.773.

Swaps and volume fell together with atCap 0, so a base below 22010 mean pips should hold retention while mult adds fee only at realizedVolPct 117.247, lifting project ETH without sitting on the cap. Candidate for plate A: base 1.90%, multiplier 0.50×, cap 3.10%.

swapsPerDay -283 and volumeEth -29.489 mean flow is already weaker, so any fee above 22216 pips can shed more swaps. realizedVolPct -5.042 may shrink the vol add-on. leakagePct is not evidence.

projectEth -0.79 and meanPips -209 show the static 2.22% baseline is not raising vault ETH. atCapPct 0 and moduleFailed 0 leave room for a non-binding cap. realizedVolPct 126.02 still justifies a vol term.

With vol still 126% and fees already off 209 pips, base 21000 plus mult 2500 should lift project ETH versus the 2.22% baseline without the rejected 20000/4000/30000 vector, while cap 32000 keeps atCap near 0. Candidate for plate A: base 2.10%, multiplier 0.25×, cap 3.20%.

Volume -23.375 ETH and swaps -207 move with the fee drop, so a softer window is not proof a lower base lifts the 17.45 projectEth. Unknown volEma may let mult 4000 overshoot mean 22425 pips.

Rejected [23000,3500,30000] at 88.4% retention. Deltas: projectEth -0.657, swaps -207, meanPips -187, atCapPct 0, moduleFailed 0. Vol 131% is the unused fee lever, not a higher base.

Base 23000 failed retention at 88.4%. With atCapPct 0, a 20000 base and mult 4000 should keep typical fees under that failed level while letting 131% vol raise fees only in volatile blocks. Candidate for plate A: base 2.00%, multiplier 0.40×, cap 3.00%.

swapsPerDay 5800 is -109 and volumeEth 794.064204 is -16.419, so a higher base can shed more flow. realizedVolPct 135.857 is -4.82, so the mult add-on has less vol to bill.

Rejected 20000/2500/30000 gated 18.55785 vs baseline 18.590956. Live projectEth 18.108619 is already -0.482. atCapPct 0, moduleFailed 0, meanPips 22612, so fees are not cap-bound.

Base 23000, mult 3500, cap 30000 should beat trailing project ETH of 18.591 without a further swap drop: the 20000 cut missed by 0.033 ETH and atCapPct is 0, so a +1000 base step is the untested side. Candidate for plate A: base 2.30%, multiplier 0.35×, cap 3.00%.

The volume drop tracks the vol drop more than the small fee change, so a lower base may cut projectEth further. leakagePct 14.76 (+0.04) is not a fee signal. Last vector was not run.

Vol fell 30pp while mean fee fell only 454 pips and swaps and project ETH both dropped. Base 20000 with mult 2500 should ease the fee as vol eases and recover swaps without time at the cap. Candidate for plate A: base 2.00%, multiplier 0.25×, cap 3.00%.
