Deposit & mint
Put assets into a Resonator. The Hook places them across the curve and the vault mints you Overtones representing your share — one token, fully fungible.

noise cancels
Scatter sand on a vibrating plate and it collects along the nodes — the lines that stay still while everything around them shakes. Nodal builds markets the same way: deposit once and hold an Overtone that keeps earning wherever it goes, while Antiphase cancels your order against the other side of the market before either one is heard.

The problem
A position goes silent the moment you commit it.
Supply liquidity anywhere and the capital stops being capital. The yield is real, but it is sealed inside a receipt you cannot move. Overtones take the receipt out.
Without Nodal
Before- The position is welded to one pool and one pair.
- Capital cannot move without unwinding it first.
- Yield accrues inside the position, not as anything spendable.
- Every rebalance is a gas-heavy exit and re-entry in your history.
LP positionNon-transferable
Locked exposure0 composable
Usable elsewhere: 0% — the only exit is unwinding.
With Nodal
After- The Resonator mints a fungible ERC-20 every contract already understands.
- Send it, lend it, or post it as margin without touching the pool.
- Fees keep accruing to the note — the Overtone itself — while it sits in someone else’s wallet.
- Rebalancing happens in the Hook, not in your transaction history.

Core features
Three harmonics, one plate.
A liquid claim on your own liquidity, a router that cancels its own noise, and a desk for tokenised equities — all resonating into the same pool of depth.
Overtones
Deposit into a Resonator and receive a fungible ERC-20 representing your share of the position. It accrues fees continuously and moves like any other token.
Explore OvertonesAntiphase
Sign an intent, not a route. Antiphase batches orders off-book, nets opposing flow against itself, and settles only the remainder — so there is nothing in the mempool to front-run.
How settlement worksFundamental
Tokenised equities against aggregated depth, with the fill simulated before you sign it. You see the slippage you will actually pay, not the quote at the top.

Platform overview
From deposit to Overtone.
The Resonator holds the position. The Hook tunes it. You hold the claim — and the claim is the part that moves.
- Principal path — deposit, mint, circulate
- Yield path — fees accrue to the note, not to you
- Redemption is the same path, reversed.
How it works
Provide liquidity.
Provide liquidity.
Keep it liquid.
Three actions. The second one is the whole point.
Circulate
Lend the note, pair it, post it as collateral, or route it through Antiphase. It keeps accruing fees the entire time, in whoever’s wallet it happens to sit.
Redeem or retune
Burn the note to withdraw the underlying at its current value, or roll it into another Resonator without ever returning to the base asset.

Custody taken
Capital moves only after your signature — structural, not a target.
Design targets for launch, not measured results — the protocol is pre-audit and nothing is deployed. See the roadmap.
Security
Checkable, not trusted.
Non-custodial by construction, private by default, and legible enough that you can verify the claim rather than take it. The contracts are pre-audit and the security page says so plainly rather than implying otherwise.
- Non-custodial. Withdrawal is a permissionless call.
- Timelocked parameters. Every change is visible before it takes effect.
- A pause cannot block a redemption. Only new deposits stop.
Non-custodial
The Resonator never holds a key you did not give it.
Off-book execution
Batched and netted before touching a mempool.
Simulated first
Every intent is priced before you sign it.
Open source at deployment
Resonator and Hook source publishes in full.
Integrations
Composable by default.
An Overtone is an ordinary ERC-20. Anything that already accepts one accepts this — no adapter, no wrapper, no integration call.
The wave inverts twice a cycle and comes back. The nodes never move — and that is where the integrations sit.
Each of these already accepts an ordinary ERC-20, so each of them already accepts an Overtone.
Platform
One protocol, five surfaces.
Overtones, Antiphase, Fundamental, Spectra and the approval you sign — five surfaces over one balance sheet.

FAQ
Common questions
What is an Overtone?
An Overtone is a fungible ERC-20 minted against your share of a Resonator — a managed liquidity position. The position stays in the pool and keeps earning; the Overtone is the part you can move. Send it, lend it, or post it as margin, and the fees keep accruing to whoever holds it.
Why is it called an Overtone?
In acoustics an overtone is a harmonic that rings above the fundamental — a second sound carried by the same string. Here the position is the fundamental and the yield-bearing claim on it is the overtone: same capital, a separate thing you can actually trade.
How is the Overtone priced?
By identity, not by oracle: one Overtone redeems for its pro-rata share of the Resonator’s holdings at the moment of redemption. The redemption value is computable on-chain from pool reserves, so the secondary price has a hard floor to arbitrage against.
Do I lose yield when I transfer one?
You stop earning; the recipient starts. Yield follows the token, not the depositor — that is the whole design. There is no checkpointing, no claim step, and nothing to forfeit: accrual is continuous inside the share price.
Put the position to work twice.
Deposit once. Hold a note that earns while you spend it. Settle where nobody can read the order.
