$HEDG TOKEN
> The governance and utility token powering the HEDG protocol.
Continuous buyback. Community governance. Built to last.
WHAT IS $HEDG?
$HEDG is the governance and utility token of the HEDG protocol. It will launch following the same fair launch mechanics that HEDG champions — open bonding curve, no presale, no insider allocation.
What makes $HEDG unique is its built-in buy pressure. Every trade on the HEDG launchpad generates fees, and a portion of those fees is automatically used to buy $HEDG on Jupiter. This creates a continuous, protocol-driven demand loop.
As the protocol grows, $HEDG holders will gain governance power over key parameters — fee rates, graduation thresholds, buyback percentages, and more.
FEE STRUCTURE
> Every trade funds deployers and protocol growth.
TRADING FEE (2%)
Every buy and sell on the HEDG bonding curve incurs a 2% fee. This funds deployers, protocol operations, and the $HEDG treasury.
DEPLOYER SHARE (25%)
Quarter of the fee (0.5% of trade volume) flows to the token deployer. Claimable with progressive unlock — rewarding builders who launch on HEDG.
OPS + TREASURY (75%)
50% of the fee (1.0% of volume) funds protocol operations. 25% (0.5% of volume) flows to the treasury for $HEDG buyback+burn.
FEE FLOW
Trade 1 SOL (2% fee = 0.02 SOL)
├── 0.5% → Deployer (claimable)
├── 1.0% → Ops Wallet (service revenue)
└── 0.5% → Treasury
└── 30% → $HEDG Buyback (Jupiter swap)
BUYBACK & BURN
> Protocol-driven buy pressure, every minute.
Fee Accumulation
0.5% of every trade flows into the HEDG treasury wallet.
Threshold Check
Every 60 seconds, the system checks for new treasury inflow above 0.01 SOL.
Jupiter Buyback
30% of new inflow is swapped from SOL to $HEDG via Jupiter v6 API.
On-Chain Record
Every buyback transaction is recorded on-chain and verifiable on Solscan.
ESCROW EXPIRY & BURN
> Every expired escrow feeds $HEDG buy pressure.
HOW IT WORKS
Every token launched on HEDG requires deployer collateral locked in escrow. When a token's deadline expires without graduating, the escrow collateral is processed based on holder activity:
SCENARIO A: NO HOLDERS (current supply = 0)
50% → Deployer refund (partial recovery)
50% → Treasury → $HEDG Buyback + Burn
SCENARIO B: HOLDERS EXIST
100% → Claimable by token holders via burn-to-refund
Each holder calls Refund on the token page to burn all their tokens and receive:
(my tokens / total circulating supply) x escrow SOL
No snapshot — calculated in real-time when each holder claims. First come, proportional share.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Arbitrage incentive: When a token's deadline approaches and the escrow collateral exceeds the token's market value, traders are incentivized to buy the token to claim a larger share of the escrow refund. This creates natural buy pressure and trading volume near deadlines.
Fee generation: Every trade from these arbitrageurs generates 2% fees — 0.5% to deployers, 1.0% to protocol operations, and 0.5% to the treasury. The treasury's share triggers automatic $HEDG buyback and burn on Jupiter.
Deflationary pressure: Whether through direct escrow expiry (50% treasury buyback+burn) or through increased trading activity (fee-driven buyback+burn), every expired token contributes to $HEDG's deflationary mechanics and price support.
Virtuous cycle: More launches → more escrow collateral at risk → more arbitrage opportunities → more trading volume → more fees → more $HEDG burned → higher $HEDG price → more users attracted to the platform.
TOKENOMICS
> Simple. Fair. No hidden allocations.
GOVERNANCE
> $HEDG holders shape the protocol.
$HEDG governance will allow token holders to propose and vote on changes to key protocol parameters. This ensures the community controls the protocol's evolution — not a single team.
