HMX

HMX is the native token of HYPERMAX, designed as a levered beta to HYPE. It captures demand from investors seeking higher volatility exposure while serving as the governance backbone of the protocol.


Purpose

  • Levered Beta to HYPE — HMX amplifies movements in the HYPE/HMX ratio, providing a high-volatility investment instrument.

  • Degen Demand — Serves risk-seeking investors who want leveraged exposure to HYPE’s compounding treasury base.

  • Governance Power — The only utility of HMX is to be locked and converted into veHMX, the voting-escrowed form of the token.


veHMX (Voting Escrow)

When HMX is locked into veHMX, holders gain governance rights to decide on:

  • Treasury strategy and allocation

  • Fee switch and protocol revenue distribution

  • Product parameters and new launches

  • Risk management and compliance thresholds

This ensures that governance power aligns with long-term commitment rather than short-term speculation.


Key Features

  • High Volatility Exposure — Built for investors seeking amplified volatility.

  • Governance Utility — Converted to veHMX for voting rights.

  • Protocol Alignment — Value tied directly to the growth of the HYPERMAX treasury and broader Hyperliquid.
