Token $HYPE
The $HYPE token is the core settlement asset within the Fanify betting ecosystem, functioning as the exclusive currency for placing bets and distributing rewards. It is a non-transferable, dollar-pegged ERC-20 token, minted through staking and burned through participation in the betting process.
$HYPE Mechanics & Utility
-
Staking-Based Minting: The only way to mint $HYPE is by staking either CHZ or Fan Tokens via the platform’s smart contracts. No external purchase is allowed.
-
Betting Currency: All users—whether staking CHZ or Fan Tokens—place their bets using $HYPE. It serves as the universal unit of account for all matches.
-
Reward Distribution: Winnings from successful bets are paid out in $HYPE, reinforcing its role as the main reward token within the ecosystem.
-
Fan Season Bonus: Users who stake Fan Tokens for an entire season receive a boosted allocation of $HYPE. This bonus allows them to bet on every match of their team throughout the season, increasing utility and loyalty.
-
Non-Transferable: $HYPE is a non-transferable token. It cannot be sent to other wallets or used outside of the platform. Its sole purpose is for betting and unstaking.
-
Unstaking Mechanism: To reclaim the original CHZ or Fan Token stake, users must hold an equivalent amount of HYPE and releases the underlying asset.
-
Risk Awareness: If a user loses all of their $HYPE through betting, they forfeit access to their original stake. This introduces a real economic consequence tied to betting performance, enhancing commitment and reducing farming abuse.
