Summary
We propose the creation of a V2 Lari/HBAR liquidity pool with a 0.30% fee tier on SaucerSwap. This pool aims to reduce slippage and enhance liquidity efficiency for the Lari token. Lari is the “Chad” alien mascot of Saucerswap and is a revived community-driven meme coin on Hedera. LARI has gained momentum with new branding, active holders, and creative marketing (including animation, lore, and community content), and the addition of a V2 pool would help provide deeper liquidity, better execution, and encourage more on-chain engagement.
Abstract
We’re requesting the creation of a V2 pool on SaucerSwap for $LARI, the meme coin mascot born on Hedera and resurrected by the community as a symbol of fun, culture, and engagement on-chain. With its roots tied directly to SaucerSwap’s original lore, LARI represents more than just a token — it’s a storytelling asset with the potential to drive awareness, branding, and user acquisition for the DEX itself.
In a recent interview with HBARbull, Peter (@SaucerSwap CEO) spoke to the growing importance of memes in Web3 and their ability to build community and culture around a protocol. What better way to lean into that truth than by revitalizing LARI, the OG alien mascot of the DEX, with a fresh, muscular, meme-fueled identity — fully equipped with new art, animation, and an engaged narrative?
Motivation
SaucerSwap V2 is more efficient than SaucerSwap V1 due to its implementation of concentrated liquidity. This means greater volume can be enabled, broadening access to new and existing users. Future LARI rewards could provide additional incentives, boosting user engagement and encouraging broader token distribution.
Specification & Rationale
To support this vision, we propose a more efficient liquidity solution for the token, which will decrease user fees via improved capital efficiency. Lowering costs will make staking and trading more efficient, encouraging more active trading of the token.
Benefits (Pros)
Reinforces SaucerSwap Branding
Drives LP Engagement & Retention
Extra incentive to provide and maintain liquidity over time

Memes generate viral content, increasing SaucerSwap exposure across X and Web3
Fuels Ecosystem Growth on Hedera
Brings back the OG alien mascot, now rebranded, as a cultural and narrative asset
Downside (Cons)

Voting
For: Create the V2 LARI/HBAR pool with a 0.30% fee tier.
Against: Do not create the V2 LARI/HBAR pool.
Conclusion
Reviving LARI as a meme token and aligning it with SaucerSwap’s brand unlocks a unique opportunity to blend community-driven culture with DeFi utility. As the original mascot of the DEX, LARI already holds symbolic value — now reimagined as a bold, animated figurehead for the next generation of users.
Integrating $LARI into the SaucerSwap ecosystem strengthens brand identity, creates new engagement pathways, and reinforces SaucerSwap’s position as not just the leading DEX on Hedera — but also the most culturally resonant. In an era where memes drive attention and loyalty, embracing LARI is a strategic step toward long-term relevance and community growth.
Let’s bring the mascot home. Let’s make SaucerSwap unforgettable.
