Question 1

What is HVLO?

Accepted Answer

HVLO is a utility token associated with the Hivello ecosystem. Hivello aggregates access points to multiple decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) into an application, aiming to allow users to participate in related networks with less separate configuration. HVLO does not represent equity in Hivello, nor does holding it inherently create fixed returns, dividends, or redemption rights. It should be understood across three layers: Hivello is an aggregation application, the underlying DePIN protocols each define their own resource tasks and rewards, and HVLO's specific token mechanics are subject to the project's official disclosures.

Question 2

What is the relationship between Hivello and DePIN?

Accepted Answer

DePIN refers to networks in which distributed participants provide or operate real-world infrastructure capabilities; these capabilities may include computing resources. Hivello's role is to aggregate multiple such networks, rather than turn all underlying protocols into a single network or a single set of reward rules. For participants, the general path is to access supported networks through the Hivello application and have their devices provide available resources. Whether participation is possible, what requirements devices must meet, how resources are verified, and which assets are used for settlement depend on the specific network accessed and its rules at the time.

Question 3

How can users participate in resource contribution through Hivello?

Accepted Answer

The participation method described by Hivello is for users to contribute idle computing resources to participate in the DePIN networks it aggregates. Contributing resources does not necessarily result in rewards simply by installing the application: whether a device is online, whether tasks exist, whether resources meet requirements, and the verification and settlement rules of the underlying network all affect actual results. Contributing resources and holding HVLO are different actions. The former involves providing capabilities to a specific network; the latter is holding a token associated with the Hivello ecosystem. The fact that Hivello provides an entry point for resource participation does not mean that all resource rewards are distributed in HVLO, nor that HVLO holders automatically receive returns from underlying networks.

Question 4

How does HVLO's buyback-and-burn mechanism work?

Accepted Answer

The buyback-and-burn mechanism described in Hivello's announcement is as follows: the project plans to use network revenue to repurchase HVLO on the market, then permanently burn the repurchased tokens. A buyback obtains tokens from the market, while a burn makes those tokens no longer available; together, the two steps determine that this portion of tokens is no longer in tradable circulation. This mechanism is contingent on the existence of network revenue available for buybacks and on the project executing the buybacks and burns according to its plan. It reduces the portion of supply that is burned, but does not by itself determine total supply, future circulating supply, market demand, or price, nor is it a commitment of returns to holders.

Question 5

Has HVLO ever been burned?

Accepted Answer

On June 30, 2025, Hivello announced its first HVLO buyback and burn, involving 13.5 million tokens. This event was an implementation of the buyback-and-burn plan disclosed by the project, rather than a mechanism description remaining only at the proposal stage. The direct result of this burn was that the 13.5 million tokens were no longer in circulation. It cannot be interpreted as meaning that the project will continue burning tokens at a fixed frequency or in fixed quantities, nor can future price, circulating supply, or returns from resource participation be inferred from a single burn alone.
