100% of nest trading fees go to veNEST.
since deployment, a 3% fee was held back from veNEST distributions, earmarked for an infrastructure partnership under an agreement that was being finalized.
that agreement isn't moving forward in its original form, as we try and make the best deals for our tokenholders... 👇
nest's HYPE Engine Vault, Assistance Fund, and Ecosystem Fund have bought back 76.8 million NEST tokens from the market since launch

We ran the largest HYPE distribution on HyperEVM.
+ $200K to the community.
Now we're doing it every week.
This week: 180 HYPE to new nest lockers.
Next week: ~550 HYPE to new nest lockers.

according to the HYPE spring estimator, i’ll get a nice $HYPE stimmy from the nest rewards i’ve earned by LPing over the last couple of months
i’ve roughly 6M $NEST locked (~$3.6K)
based on the first 19 epochs, i’ll earn:
~5 HYPE per week
~22 HYPE per month

Liquidations are not a feature of leverage.
They are a failure mode of margin systems.
Margin systems require:
• collateral ratios
• oracle feeds
• forced selling
Treasury ownership requires none of them.
Ownership cannot be liquidated.
The real arbitrage isn’t price. It’s time horizon.
Short-term volatility
vs
Long-term treasury growth
The market debates price daily. Balance sheets compound quietly.
Most tokens panic at discounts.
MEGAHYPE becomes more efficient.
Burn efficiency:
Efficiency = 1 / mNAV
mNAV 0.8 → 1.25x
mNAV 0.5 → 2.0x
The deeper the discount,
the stronger the incentive to compress it.
Discounts are not weakness.
They are mechanical concentration.
If that feels uncomfortable,
you’re thinking like a trader.
Last cycle optimized for speed.
This cycle will optimize for durability.
Perps maximize capital efficiency.
They also maximize liquidation cascades.
Treasury-based leverage removes liquidation-driven failure.
Ownership doesn’t get margin-called.
If HYPE is structurally dominant,
its dominant balance sheet is inevitable.
