# The Problems We Solve

At HyperTrend we have identified and addressed the key issues that plague traditional crypto tokenomics:

### Traditional Token Failures:

* Airdrop farming by users who immediately dump at launch
* Insider manipulation creating post-airdrop crashes
* VC selling pressure from staked locked tokens
* DAO theater where insiders vote themselves benefits
* Misaligned team incentives leading to early exits
* Value extraction benefiting insiders over holders

### Our Approach

Instead of relying on VC funding, we are community bootstrapped, just like Hyperliquid itself.

### Number-go-up Tokenomics

To qualify as true "number-go-up" tokenomics, we need…

1. Real revenues flowing directly to token holders.
2. Hard currency rewards (USDC) not inflationary token emissions.
3. Deflationary supply by design.
4. Aligned team incentives through performance vesting.
