Ascend says it will have no protocol token, with most of the protocol's fee share redirected back into launched tokens, KNTQ, and HYPE. The author says HYPE holders can gain exposure to new launches without spending their tokens, though the mechanism is undisclosed. Built on HyperEVM, Ascend launches day one on Elysium, a chain settling to HyperEVM that uses HYPE as gas. Tokens passing $1M market cap qualify for buybacks, with a path toward "Ascended listings" and HyperCore support. The team cites ex-Olympus DAO and trading backgrounds.
