reach out any time. I've definitely seen many versions of changing power up or making an alternative with the 'pay to break set lock terms'.

Most DEXes right now focus on free EVM/SVM token inclusion because it's essentially copy/paste for every new token, and liquidity can be shifted quickly and easily across chains and protocols alongside the current 'hourly runner' meta... this is even before even addressing that almost all of the pumpfun/hyperliquid coins now are released and traded out by the same set of addresses over and over every day to extract. More fast volume equals more fast trading fees for the DEX or CEX, which means always higher priority than us. (When we started, you were hoping to maybe catch the runner of the CYCLE, let alone the quarter.)

Working with us is proprietary and without an official bridge or some other form of equivalent integration path convincing a DEX to do an inclusion with liquidity provision for free on our natural volumes, it's a slog. Bitshares (xbts) is an awesome example. Natively integrated DEX with real volume because similar graphene underlying tech... not used super regularly by most of our own users even because it's outside the current VM dominance where they want to be.

It's definitely frustrating from a growth and devrel perspective too as it makes it a super hard bargaining position to be in, but opening a lot of relationships and staying on top of them is what I can do while we try to fit all the pieces together on our end.

Anyways, I do agree that passively available options that aren't just baseline APR on HP (just under 3% right now) would be good. Arguably, better than ultra high HBD. People hold that and convert when price is very low for way more HIVE than they initially earned the HBD at, which means that while the debt represented in dollars is the same it can lead to a lot more hive than expected being converted and added into supply over time. That's what we're seeing. A separated hive APR with term lockup would be a more known entity in terms of issuance that moves more in lockstep with expectations and less with the fluctuation of US dollar value debt instrumentation.

caveat: I'm not a tokenomics/market economist guy either, so this is pretty out of my personal purview other than considering how it shapes the wider ecosystem ethos and brand story, and the resulting behaviour modification and incentivisation.
