Hype: The Future of Attention Tokenization on Solana

In the age of digital attention, Hype is revolutionizing how we measure and monetize popularity. Built on Solana, Hype is a meme-powered platform that lets users mint and trade attention tokens tied to real social media profiles. This new standard of tokenization transforms hype into tangible value—without needing ownership of the underlying social account.

What Are Attention Tokens?

Attention tokens on Hype are unique digital assets connected to actual social media profiles. You don’t need to own the social handle to mint a token. Anyone can create tokens for celebrities, influencers, or even viral sensations, enabling a decentralized popularity contest driven entirely by the community.

How Hype Works

Create a Token: Choose your favorite celebrity or trending account and create a token. If it already exists, skip this and jump to minting.
Transparent Pricing: Tokens start at just 0.1 USDC and increase by 1.1% with every mint. Early adopters get in cheap, while rising hype boosts token value.
Monitor Growth: As more users mint tokens, the price rises. Ride the wave as your token gains traction.
Burn and Earn: When you’re ready, burn your tokens to realize profits. For example, buying tokens at 0.1 USDC and selling them at 98 USDC after rising demand can return thousands in profits.

What Is the Hype Score?

The Hype Score quantifies digital buzz. Each token minted adds one point to a profile’s score, allowing the market to decide who’s trending. This metric creates a feedback loop: more attention means higher scores, which in turn increases token value.

Why Choose Hype?

On-Chain Transparency: Prices follow a known AMM model, starting at 0.1 USDC per token and growing predictably.
Immutable Smart Contracts: Audited and immutable, Hype’s smart contracts ensure that not even the platform owners can alter the terms.
Community-Driven Popularity: No verification needed. Users control the narrative and the value.
Solana-Powered Speed: Low fees and high-speed transactions make minting and trading seamless.

Example Use Case

Mint 2,308 tokens for 300 USDC

Security You Can Trust

Funds are secured via smart contracts and stored directly in your wallet. The USDC used to mint tokens remains locked in the smart contract, ensuring complete control and transparency.
