On July 10th, Hyperion, the premier decentralized exchange (DEX) within the Aptos ecosystem, unveiled its innovative dual-token economic framework featuring RION and xRION. This dual-token model is designed to enhance user incentives, platform governance, and ecosystem development. RION serves as the native, transferable token with a capped supply of 100 million, facilitating essential functions such as platform payments, settlement processes, and participation rewards.
Conversely, xRION operates as a non-transferable governance token, acquired through staking RION. It embodies governance authority and exclusive privileges, including DAO voting rights and Launchpad quota distribution. The tokenomics allow users to convert RION into xRION proportionally based on lock-up periods of up to 52 weeks, with a linear decay in governance weight that supports dynamic extensions.
This strategic token design underscores Hyperion’s commitment to advancing platform governance and incentive mechanisms beyond conventional trading capabilities, fostering a robust, sustainable community and accelerating value accumulation within the Aptos DeFi landscape.
