Its planned role connects pairing, creator incentives, platform activity and the Hello Economy. Rather than existing only as a platform token, $HELLO is intended to become part of the markets created through Hello.Fun. ### A Pairing Asset One of the primary planned utilities for $HELLO is pairing. As Hello.Fun expands its supported markets, creators will be able to launch tokens paired with $HELLO. ```mermaid flowchart LR A["Creator"] --> B["Launch Token"] B --> C["Choose $HELLO Pair"] C --> D["Token + $HELLO Market"] ``` In a $HELLO paired launch, users would use $HELLO as the pairing asset for that token's market. The pair would remain connected to the launch through its bonding curve and into its graduated market. ### Creating New $HELLO Markets Every $HELLO paired launch can create a new market involving $HELLO. ```mermaid flowchart TD A["$HELLO"] --> B["Token A + $HELLO"] A --> C["Token B + $HELLO"] A --> D["Token C + $HELLO"] ``` As more supported tokens choose $HELLO as their pair, the ecosystem can develop multiple markets connected through the same pairing asset. This is where pairing becomes utility. ### Connecting Launch Activity With $HELLO A $HELLO pair makes the ecosystem token part of the launch itself. Trading activity within that market involves both the launched token and $HELLO. ```mermaid flowchart LR A["New Launch"] --> B["$HELLO Pair"] B --> C["Trading Market"] C --> D["Market Activity"] D --> E["$HELLO Utility"] ``` Every new $HELLO paired launch can therefore create another use case for $HELLO within the Hello.Fun ecosystem. ### Enhanced Creator Rewards Hello.Fun plans **Enhanced Creator Rewards** for launches that choose $HELLO as their pairing asset. These rewards are intended to provide an additional incentive for creators to build markets around $HELLO. ```mermaid flowchart LR A["Creator"] --> B["Chooses $HELLO Pair"] B --> C["$HELLO Market"] B --> D["Enhanced Creator Rewards"] ``` Enhanced Creator Rewards are part of the planned $HELLO ecosystem and are not part of the currently deployed ETH launch system. ### More Than One Side of a Trade The purpose of $HELLO pairing is not simply to add another token to a list of supported assets. The pair determines the market in which a new token begins. That gives $HELLO a direct role in: 1. New token markets 2. Trading activity 3. Creator incentives 4. Ecosystem participation 5. The broader Hello Economy ### Connecting the Ecosystem The planned $HELLO model creates a relationship between the platform token and tokens launched through Hello.Fun. ```mermaid flowchart TD A["Hello.Fun"] --> B["$HELLO"] A --> C["New Launches"] B --> D["$HELLO Pair Markets"] C --> D D --> E["Trading Activity"] E --> F["Hello Economy"] ``` Instead of separating the launchpad token from the launches happening around it, the pairing model is designed to connect them. ### Platform Activity and $HELLO The broader Hello Economy is designed to connect Hello.Fun platform activity back to both $HELLO and selected ecosystem launches. This includes the planned use of platform revenue for market buybacks. The economic model is covered in detail in the following pages. ```mermaid flowchart LR A["Platform Activity"] --> B["Platform Revenue"] B --> C["Hello Economy"] C --> D["$HELLO"] C --> E["Selected Hello.Fun Launches"] ``` ### Growing With the Platform As Hello.Fun expands beyond ETH pairing, $HELLO is intended to become one of the assets creators can build markets around. That creates a model where growth in the number of launches can also create new opportunities for $HELLO to be used within the platform. **More launches → More pair markets → More ways to use $HELLO** ### The Pair Is the Utility The core role of $HELLO comes back to the idea behind Hello.Fun itself. A launch is not only about creating a token. It is also about choosing the market that token begins with. $HELLO is designed to become part of that choice. **Not just where you trade. Part of how you grow.** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://hello-fun-1.gitbook.io/hello.fun-docs/the-role-of-usdhello.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
