Benefits for Holders
Hedge Token and Platform Incentives
HedgeVault has its own native token (let’s call it HEDGE for now) which plays a central role in the ecosystem’s incentive structure. The platform is designed so that HEDGE token holders and the platform itself benefit from the success of funds launched. The key tokenomics and incentive mechanisms include:
Airdrops to HEDGE Holders
Whenever a fund or project launched via HedgeVault “graduates” to the open market (for instance, when the fund’s tokens or the project tokens are listed on a DEX), a portion of the new tokens is reserved as a reward for HEDGE holders. In practice, this means if you stake or hold HEDGE tokens, you will periodically receive airdrop distributions of new fund tokens launched on the platform. This is similar to how some launchpads reward their stakers; for example, on app.virtuals.io (Genesis Launches), stakers of the platform token earn a percentage of every new coin that launches on its platform. HedgeVault adopts a comparable model – rewarding its token holders with a share of each successful launch, effectively giving them exposure to all the platform’s projects.
Buyback Mechanism
When a new fund token lists on a DEX, HedgeVault (the platform) helps bootstrap the liquidity by creating the initial liquidity pool (LP) for that token. This ensures there’s sufficient liquidity for trading. As an LP provider, the platform earns trading fees from that DEX pool. Those fees provide revenue which HedgeVault uses to buy back HEDGE tokens from the market. This buyback mechanism, funded by real usage fees, creates buying pressure and value accrual for the HEDGE token over time. In other words, every time a fund is launched and traded actively, HEDGE holders benefit indirectly through the buyback (and directly via airdrops).
Staking Rewards
Tokens that "migrate" from the launchpad to a DEX generate swap fees in their liquidity pools. HedgeVault aggregates those LP fees to execute scheduled HEDGE buy-backs; a portion of the repurchased tokens is permanently burned, while the rest is routed to the staking pool. As a result, long-term investors can stake HEDGE and earn a continuous stream of rewards, even as the circulating supply is progressively reduced.
Overall, the incentive design aligns all holders: Fund managers get access to capital; investors get opportunities and potential profit; and HEDGE token stakers receive a share of every success on the platform. This creates a virtuous cycle – as more funds launch and perform well, demand for HEDGE tokens increases (via buybacks and people wanting to stake for airdrops), which in turn grows the community and available capital for new funds.
