HyperWarp prioritizes simplicity and safety by supporting only whitelisted assets:
  • NFTs: Only veKitten is currently supported
  • Tokens: Listings are priced in Kitten or wHYPE, depending on seller preference
By restricting tradable assets, the marketplace reduces attack surfaces and keeps its pricing logic straightforward.
However, sellers choosing to list in wHYPE must understand the implications of volatility.

Why Volatile Tokens Carry Risk

Let’s break it down with a real example:
Scenario1 wHYPE = $401 veKitten = $1Listing = 10,000 veKitten for 250 wHYPE
At Listing Time250 wHYPE × 40=40 = 10,000Fair Market Value→ A fair deal
wHYPE Drops to $20250 wHYPE Γ— 20=20 = 5,000β†’ Buyer gets a 50% discount
wHYPE Pumps to $60250 wHYPE Γ— 60=60 = 15,000β†’ Buyer overpays by 50%

KittenAny$10,000Stable, predictable pricing
wHYPEDrops to $20$5,000Buyer gets 50% discount
wHYPERises to $60$15,000Buyer overpays by 50%

By listing everything in Kitten, the price is stable within the protocol, both buyers and sellers know exactly what to expect β€” no surprise discounts, no accidental overpays.
Takeaway:
Pricing in Kitten offers consistency and eliminates guesswork. wHYPE provides flexibility β€” but introduces volatility risks. Sellers should consider what best fits their strategy before listing.
