Tokenomics

Bonding Curve Mechanism: Upon launch, 800,000,000 tokens are allocated to the bonding curve—a linear pricing model where the token price increases as more are purchased. The curve starts at a low entry point, encouraging early adoption. Price per token rises proportionally with cumulative buys, creating organic hype and fair distribution 0 4 .

Formula Insight: The bonding curve uses a step function or linear progression. For example, initial buys acquire tokens at minimal cost, but as the curve fills (e.g., reaching a market cap threshold of ~$69,000), prices escalate, rewarding early participants 3 2 .

Migration to Raydium: Once the bonding curve is complete (all 800M tokens sold or cap hit), the protocol automatically migrates liquidity to Raydium DEX. This includes burning LP tokens for permanence and enabling open-market trading with deep liquidity 5 9 . No team allocation—100% community-driven.

Distribution Breakdown

Bonding Curve (Public Sale): 80% (800,000,000 tokens) – Available via pump.fun for fair buying.
Liquidity Provision: 20% (200,000,000 tokens) – Automatically paired with SOL from buys to form initial LP on Raydium post-migration.
No Pre-Sale or Team Tokens: Ensures decentralization and prevents dumps.

Fee Structure and Revenue Sharing

Transaction Fees: 5% on buys/sells post-Raydium (adjustable via DAO).

2% to liquidity pools for stability.
2% redistributed to stakers as yield (inspired by DEX revenues).
1% to marketing/DAO treasury for community events and airdrops 2 .
Burn Mechanism: A portion of fees burns tokens, reducing supply over time for deflationary pressure.

Staking and Yield

Holders can stake $ASTERHYPE in pools to earn rewards, including:
Passive APY from fee shares.
Airdrops tied to Aster/HyperLiquid milestones (e.g., volume records).

Governance rights: Vote on integrations, like adding perp features.
This model mimics successful meme utilities while tying value to real DeFi growth.
