Why Three Tokens?

User Experience Optimization

The three-token system solves critical UX problems:

Problem: Blockchain transactions have delays and gas costs that interrupt gaming flow. Solution: HYPES enable instant betting and boosts without blockchain friction while maintaining full $B3 backing.

Problem: No way for users to invest in or benefit from successful arena growth. Solution: ArenaCoins let players own a piece of arena economies and earn from their success.

Problem: Platform revenue typically benefits only the platform owner. Solution: Treasury buybacks of both $B3 and ArenaCoins distribute value to all stakeholders.

Problem: Difficult to fairly compensate arena and AI model creators. Solution: ArenaCoins provide direct revenue sharing and appreciation potential for creators.

Treasury Mechanics

Arena treasuries create sustained buying pressure:

  1. Revenue Collection: Fees accumulate in arena treasuries
  2. Asset Allocation: 50% for $B3 buybacks, 50% for ArenaCoin buybacks
  3. Market Purchasing: Automated market buys create price support
  4. Value Distribution: Benefits flow to all token holders
