[HIP-8] HMX to $[REDACTED] Migration

Following the approval of HIP-7 and our roadmap to rebrand and launch $[REDACTED], we have outlined the migration process to ensure a smooth transition for all stakeholders. This proposal details the migration timeline, steps, and addresses frequently asked questions to guide users through the transition.


Process Overview

The migration process has been discussed and approved under HIP-7. Here are the key details we would like to reiterate:

  • The following tables show how each token within our tokenomics will be converted to $[REDACTED]:
Token New Token Conversion Rate
HMX $[REDACTED] 1:100
esHMX $b[REDACTED] 1:100
DP DP 1:100
  • Eligibility: All $HMX, $esHMX, and DP holders are eligible for conversion. See HIP-7 for more details.

  • Liquidity Preparation: Liquidity from Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) will be reallocated to seed $[REDACTED] liquidity upon launch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Will staked $HMX and $esHMX earn yields before the $[REDACTED] token launch?
Yes. All staked $HMX and $esHMX will continue to earn yields from the HMX V1 Pool-based version and will be eligible for the $[REDACTED] token airdrop upon migration.

2. How will migration affect governance mechanisms?
Until the $[REDACTED] token launch, $HMX will remain the governance token. After migration, governance will transition to $[REDACTED].

3. When will the migration portal start?
The migration portal will launch in Q2 2025, alongside the $[REDACTED] token launch. Detailed instructions on how to use the portal will be provided closer to the launch date, along with announcements regarding the $[REDACTED] airdrop.

4. When is the official launch of $[REDACTED]?
The $[REDACTED] token launch is planned for Q2 2025.

5. Why does POL need to withdraw liquidity?
The liquidity withdrawal is necessary to redeploy the POL into $[REDACTED] liquidity. This action mitigates the risk of arbitrage and inorganic trading activities that could exploit the existing liquidity for short-term gains, potentially affecting the outcome of the HMX to $[REDACTED] migration. Additionally, withdrawing liquidity allows $[REDACTED] to enter a new price discovery phase without HMX’s valuation acting as a ceiling, enabling the market to determine its true value upon launch.

6. How can I get a $[REDACTED] token?
There are two ways to obtain $[REDACTED]:

  • Buy $HMX: Holders of $HMX can migrate their tokens to $[REDACTED] at the 1:100 conversion ratio.
  • Trade on the newly rebranded product: Participate in trading on the rebranded platform to qualify for $[REDACTED] airdrops. Campaign details and eligibility criteria will be announced alongside the product launch in February 2025.

is this still the fee distribution after new brand? since i didnt see this image and detail on HIP-7 when voting

Hey @franklu00313, you didn’t see this image when voting because the proposal was quite long, and we didn’t have space to include everything directly in the voting interface. However, we had invited everyone to read the full proposal, which contains this image and the complete details.

To answer you question, yes, this new fee distribution model is part of the revamped tokenomics outlined in the proposal. The revenue streams are now allocated through the Central Revenue Pool.
