WEEKLY $HELLO COMMUNITY UPDATE
This week’s update is primarily about liquidity, infrastructure, and ecosystem alignment. Markets are unstable, but that does not change our focus and resolve to make @thehellolabsthe best community in the world.
We continue building the underlying mechanics that drive the $HELLO economy. Over the past few weeks, we have been adding liquidity to the HELLO DEX.
The result is a steady increase in trading activity, with no peak day, averaging approximately $250,000 in daily volume. That number is important, not because of optics, but because of mechanics.
🤝 How it matters for $HELLO
For every $100,000 in volume, roughly $250 flows back into the HELLO ecosystem. That revenue is distributed across staking rewards, token burns, and a treasury allocation that supports referral marketing and growth initiatives. At current volumes, the feedback loop is functioning as designed. Volume generates revenue.
🔥 Listing $GMI on HELLO DEX & TRADE
In parallel, we are listing $GMI, the token behind
@GonnaMakeItNFTs , a project featured on Killer Whales Season 1. The listing goes live on February 13th. On the HELLO DEX, projects earn 50% of the trading fees generated on their own pair. This creates immediate alignment between liquidity, trading activity, and project growth.
However, the partnership with GonnaMakeIt extends beyond a simple listing. Together, we are introducing LP Bonds into the HELLO ecosystem. GMI’s bond infrastructure allows liquidity to be locked long-term through tradable NFT bond positions. Depending on structure and upgrades, APR can range between 100% and 300%. These bonds reduce circulating sell pressure, create longer commitment horizons, and introduce a new design space for yield exposure through tokenised bond NFTs.
The bond positions themselves are tradable. As perceived returns evolve, the secondary value of those NFTs can adjust accordingly. It is a liquidity innovation model rather than a short-term incentive campaign. The mechanics are live via https://t.co/QcPOvhM24j, and additional HELLO Club quests have been launched to support the rollout and distribute $GMI rewards to active participants.
⭐️ Small changes within @thehellolabs
On the operational side, we have made several internal optimisations both within the organisation and our GTM. Nothing dramatic, but execution speed and founder visibility will increase. We have also migrated from https://t.co/eHw5G4VpFw to https://t.co/84nBNrOtko. The transition was smooth overall. The objective was clarity and long-term brand alignment.
📽️ New focus on Marketing
Referral marketing will return as a stronger focus in the coming weeks. With DEX volume increasing, referrals become a meaningful lever. Combined with HELLO Club quests, this creates additional incentive to drive activity through the DEX, which benefits stakers, burns supply and reinforces ecosystem revenue.
🐳 Increased focus on Media and Killer Whales (LIVE) On the media side, we have announced additional Whales for Killer Whales over the past two weeks. This remains a primary focus. Larger KOLs joining the show expand reach, increase deal flow, and strengthen the pipeline of future listings. Those listings convert into trading pairs. Trading pairs convert into volume. Volume feeds the ecosystem.

👉In short:
Everything connects back to liquidity and participation. In volatile markets, infrastructure matters more than narrative. The priority remains simple: increase volume, align incentives, strengthen the burn, and reward long-term holders.
More updates soon.

Want to know the next big narrative for Companies building in Web3?
100% one of the market segments to monitor is where media, crypto, and entertainment are converging.
The most powerful companies of the next decade won’t just build technology.
--> They will control attention, distribution, and financial rails simultaneously.
I’ve seen this play out from three perspectives:
– producing a global TV show
– investing in Web3 founders
– building decentralized financial products
What appears to be “entertainment” on the surface is actually infrastructure for capital formation and user acquisition underneath.
Creators already move markets.
Communities already signal value.
Hence Big networks and streaming companies like Netflix and Paramount are interested in creators who are able to capture and bring an audience. Even and especially when this is in the podcast, Streaming and Technology space. (Look at Barstool Sports).
People are already creating premium content for pennies on the dollar distributed at 'the internet scale'.
The convergence is inevitable:
• Hollywood-grade storytelling
• crypto-native ownership
• real financial utility
That’s where I’m spending my time, capital, and energy. on @thehellolabs and @KillerWhalesTV
Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s where the next generation of category leaders will be built.
