The Coordination Engine of Crypto
Polymarket proved markets shape outcomes. But those markets are passive observers—they aggregate predictions, they don’t mobilize action.
We’re building the active version. Reflexivity becomes the core feature, weaponized to manufacture the future.
[ TL;DR ]
Hyperstitions turns prediction markets into coordination markets.
Protocol sets a goal. Participants buy tokens + bet YES + take action. If the goal is achieved, everyone profits: bet pays out, token appreciates.
The trick: we subsidize the NO side. This makes YES cheap, which makes coordination profitable. Bettors aren’t spectators—they’re aligned with the outcome they’re betting on.
Bitcoin is a hyperstition. People believed it had value, so it acquired value, so more people believed. We’re building infrastructure for intentional hyperstitions.

[ Hyperstitional Cycles ]
A protocol has a goal. Maybe it’s:
- 30% TVL increase sustained for 1 hour
- An analytics dashboard gets built
- A major influencer mentions the product
- A new feature ships by end of quarter
Hyperstitional Cycles find the price of making it happen.
How It Works
Protocol defines the goal and sets a deadline. Before the market opens, the protocol buys NO with emissions—this subsidizes YES and makes coordination profitable.
Participants assess: “Is this achievable? What’s it worth to me?” If YES is cheap and the goal seems within reach, they buy tokens, bet YES, and start coordinating.
If the cycle fails, the protocol learns. Next cycle: higher subsidy, adjusted target, new attempt. Incentives compound until coordination succeeds.
Example: TVL Growth
Protocol wants 30% TVL increase for 1 hour.
Cycle 01[NO]
Subsidy: $20K
Result: 18% increase, close but not enough
Learning: Community is willing, needs more incentive
Cycle 02[NO]
Subsidy: $25K
Result: 27% increase, almost there
Learning: Threshold is near, push harder
Cycle 03[YES]
Subsidy: $30K
Result: 34% increase sustained
Payout: Coordinators profit from bet + token appreciation
| Cycle | Subsidy | Result | Learning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | $20K | [NO] — 18% increase | Community is willing, needs more incentive |
| 02 | $25K | [NO] — 27% increase | Threshold is near, push harder |
| 03 | $30K | [YES] — 34% sustained | Coordinators profit from bet + appreciation |
The protocol discovered that 30% TVL costs ~$30K to coordinate. This is incentive price discovery—something that’s never existed before.
Why Alignment Matters
When you bet YES on TVL growth, you’re not a spectator. You’re incentivized to make it happen: deploy liquidity, onboard friends, write threads, build tools.
If the goal hits, you win twice: your bet pays out AND the token you’re holding appreciates. Betting and building become the same action.

Public prices are the key. When everyone sees the same Schelling point, collective action organizes around it. Private prices discover information. Public prices mobilize coordination.
[ PAMM ]
Hyperstitions uses a Pot-split AMM (PAMM)—parimutuel-style betting with constant-product pricing and virtual liquidity.
How it works: When you buy YES, you pay into a shared pot. The price you pay reflects the current implied probability—cheap when few believe, expensive when many do. At resolution, winners split the entire pot proportionally.
Why this matters: No orderbook, no external LPs needed. Virtual liquidity means we can run short cycles (hours, not weeks) with continuous price discovery. Early believers who coordinate successfully get rewarded more than late arrivals who pile in after the hard work is done.
The dynamic: Price rises as more people bet YES → pot grows → potential payout per share changes based on how crowded the winning side becomes. This creates natural incentive alignment: coordinate early, build conviction, profit from being right and early.
[ Phases ]
Phase 01+Active
[ Exploration ]
We prove the mechanism across diverse market types using $HST as the coordination token.
Markets include:
- “Will $HST hit X FDV?”
- “Will X KOL post about $HST in the next 6 hours?”
- “Will protocol TVL exceed Y for Z hours?”
- “Will $HST reach top 3 of Kaito Info Markets leaderboard?”
- “Will $HST reach $10M volume in the next 8 hours?”
Cycle durations vary by market type. Because we use virtual liquidity, we can create short time windows—hours rather than days or weeks—while maintaining continuous price discovery. The cycle system remains: incentives scale over time as coordination momentum builds.
During Exploration, we partner with chains and protocols to create related markets, using their tokens as additional incentives.
All $HST trading fees are used to buy back $HST. Bought tokens are sent to treasury.
Phase 02+Pending
[ Crypto Coordination Layer ]
A few months away
Fully permissionless. Anyone can:
- Create coordination markets for any outcome
- Launch new tokens using Hyperstitions as the base layer
- Import any ERC-20 and add coordination mechanics
Hyperstitions becomes the coordination layer for crypto.

Launch Mechanism
$HST launches on Doppler’s Pure.st platform using Multicurve technology. Traditional bonding curves sell the most tokens at the cheapest prices, which means MEV bots snipe and dump on real users. Doppler Multicurve fixes this by layering multiple log-normal curves that sell a constant number of tokens at each price level. The result: reduced sniping, higher average execution prices, and fairer distribution.
Airdrop Details
10% of supply reserved for airdrops, deployed strategically to onboard users and partners. A larger airdrop will be distributed based on accumulated activity: trading volume, $HST holdings, and protocol contribution.
Contract Addresses
Treasury also deployed on Ethereum, Base, BNB, Optimism, and Arbitrum for future collaborations.
