This (mid)week’s update is an important one because it touches the core of how HELLO actually generates value, and where we’re deliberately taking the ecosystem next. And how it will skyrocket $HELLO’s value once enabled. There’s been good discussion in the community, and I want to build on that by clarifying how the HELLO DEX, HELLO Trade, and HELLO Club really fit together. A lot of people still look at DEX growth as “projects listing and trading their own token.” That’s not wrong, but it’s maybe 5% of the opportunity. 🧐 The real engine is volume and liquidity. And we are building just for this. At the end of the day, the equation is simple: "Volume multiplied by fees equals revenue." and: "Listings, retail liquidity, and trading of external tokens are what create that volume." Project listings are one piece of the puzzle. Projects can deploy directly on HELLO DEX, deploy via third-party partners like the LP bonds we’re rolling out, or incentivize their community to provide liquidity or liquid-stake their tokens. All three routes lead to organic yield and revenue, for the project, their community, and their partners. From there, 50% of what’s generated flows back to HELLO Club members. That alignment is intentional. Retail liquidity is another major lever. If you deploy, for example, ETH paired with USDT, you earn a clean 8–10% APY depending on pool conditions, without having to actively manage anything. We’re expanding this across more chains, including Solana and newer ecosystems, to make this increasingly attractive. On top of that, we’re introducing a dedicated front end called HELLO Liquid. Under the hood, it’s the same DEX deployment; it just makes the experience cleaner and more intuitive. The third component is what we call “alien tokens.” These are tokens not natively deployed on HELLO DEX, but trading on venues like Uniswap or OKX. Through HELLO Trade, you’ll be able to trade any of these tokens seamlessly. A small fee is applied to the transaction, and again, 50% of that flows back to HELLO Club members. This product is essentially ready, and it massively expands the surface area of volume that HELLO can capture, without relying purely on new listings. This is why HELLO Trade matters. It’s not just a trading interface. It’s a volume router that feeds the entire ecosystem. More information about this is here: 🐶 On the IP side, we also shared an important announcement this week around DogeDash. Rather than letting the DogeDash IP slowly fade, we made a clear decision. We’re pausing the current Web3 versions of DogeDash and Dash of the Dead and pivoting them into a pure Web2 mobile experience. No wallets, no friction, no barriers. Just great games built around Dash as a character, accessible to families, children, and mainstream gamers worldwide. The important part: revenue from these Web2 games still flows into the $HELLO ecosystem via the HELLO Club. The IP stays alive, grows, and compounds value, just in a more sustainable way. Next week, we’ll share more about the future of DogeDash, Dash of the Dead, and how NFTs fit back into that vision. The comeback is very real. More information about this is to be found here: teapawt.org/thehellolabs/status/20… 🐋 Finally, on Killer Whales, we’re continuing to expand the roster. More Tier-1 Whales will be announced this week and next, builders you haven’t seen on the show before, each bringing significant reach and credibility. This keeps Killer Whales positioned as the place where serious projects come to be challenged, refined, and validated by both top operators and the community. If you’re building and want to be part of that, applications are open at hello.one/apply. As always, appreciate everyone leaning in, asking the right questions, and helping us build something durable. Sander CEO, HELLO Labs

I will start doing my 'quick updates' on our @thehellolabs ecosystem as I did for a while last year. As most of our community knows,, 2025 was all about bringing utility to the $HELLO token and creating an extremely strong (and durable) token economy. And I am very proud that we were able to achieve this, by launching the first versions of the HELLO CLUB, HELLO DEX, HELLO Academy, the second season of @KillerWhalesTV, as well as the all-new Killer Whales LIVE format, the launch of our Incubator and media and growth partnerships with @ICPHUBS @AethirCloud @MoonbeamNetwork and @CoinMarketCap . It was a year in which we delivered on a lot of solutions, content, formats, partnerships, and token-powered solutions. And we even distributed the first $20,000 back to our stakers. Now, as 2026 starts, we'll highlight the focus and achievements so far. 👉 2026 core focuses: - Delivering 1 or 2 additional seasons of Killer Whales to Streamers like Apple TV and Amazon Prime (distribution locked in) - Weekly shows for Killer Whales LIVE (project can qualify for the Streamed television show) - Partner up with the best content creators in the space for the above formats and new ones - Focus on the HELLO Protocol products, including DeFi solutions and Liquid Staking for @BNBCHAIN @base and @ethereum - Launching new trading experiences for assets listed on HELLO DEX and our aggregator pools - Improving the experience of HELLO Club and making it a home for our $HELLO Community - Revamping our focus on Killer Whales Academy - Integrating AI solutions and products - Spreading our Media reach beyond Crypto/Web3 Now, for the activities, we've hit the year running. I will tweet about this on Friday to give a nice summary and overview of what is being done and delivered to our token holders, stakeholders, and investors. Expect from HELLO: Media, DeFi, Trading, $HELLO, and World Class Entertainment. Let's get it! Sander
