$HELLO Update: DEX Rewards, Burns, and Ecosystem Results

The latest HELLO Club Space brought the HELLO Labs team together to unpack the first four weeks of HELLO DEX, marking a new phase for decentralized trading, token utility, and on-chain rewards. Hosted by Nathan, the session featured Sander Gortjes (CEO and Co-Founder), Maurice Andrew (Head of Web3), and Shotgun (HELLO Ambassador) for a complete ecosystem breakdown.

Hello DEX: A Proven Model

HELLO DEX redefines how exchanges operate. Projects list for free, receive 50% of trading fees as recurring revenue, and the remaining fees are used to buy $HELLO on the market, fueling staking rewards, token burns, and treasury locks.

During its initial four weeks with limited liquidity and a soft rollout, HELLO DEX delivered measurable on-chain results:

0.16% of total $HELLO supply burned

0.10% locked in the Treasury for 12 months

0.22% distributed to HELLO Club stakers (~$15,000 in $HELLO Rewards)

These early results confirm the routing system that drives trades through Hello DEX even when executed through aggregators like DEXTools or DexScreener. Ecosystem Alignment

Stakers lock $HELLO for 15 or 90 days to access tiered allocations, with rewards generated directly from DEX activity, Prediction Markets, Launchpad revenue, and incubator integrations. The structure is built to grow with actual ecosystem participation, creating long-term value for both founders and the community. Integrated Growth

Sander outlined how HELLO Labs has unified its ecosystem into one growth cycle: Killer Whales (media), Prediction Markets (Entertainment), Hello DEX (revenue engine), Hello Club (rewards layer), and Hello Incubator (project pipeline).

The upcoming Killer Whales: LIVE format will combine these elements, allowing founders to pitch live while viewers participate through real-time prediction markets and “Invest with the Whales” opportunities.

Maurice shared updates across several incubated projects:
