Deep Dive
1. Cross-Chain Expansion (21 July 2025)
Overview: Hashflow expanded its execution layer to Monad, joining Ethereum, Solana, and others, enabling seamless cross-chain trades.
The update allows decentralized apps (dApps) on Monad to tap into Hashflow’s aggregated liquidity pool, reducing slippage for users. The integration leverages Hashflow’s RFQ (Request-for-Quote) system, which sources off-chain pricing from market makers and executes on-chain.
What this means: This is bullish for HFT because broader chain support increases protocol usage and fee generation, directly benefiting stakers and token burns. (Source)
2. Fee Distribution Upgrade (2024)
Overview: A smart contract overhaul split protocol fees 50/50 between staker rewards and automatic token buy-burns.
This mechanism aims to counter inflation from daily token unlocks (75% of supply unlocks linearly over 3–5 years). As of August 2025, over 400k HFT tokens were burned weekly.
What this means: This is neutral for HFT long-term—while burns reduce sell pressure, unlocks still dilute holdings. Monitoring net supply changes is critical. (Source)
3. RFQ Model Optimization (24 October 2025)
Overview: Backend upgrades reduced latency in off-chain quote processing, improving pricing accuracy.
The optimizations contributed to a 35% weekly volume increase (from $242M to $327M) post-update. Market makers reported tighter spreads, particularly on Ethereum and Solana pairs.
What this means: This is bullish for HFT as better pricing attracts more traders, accelerating the fee-burn-stake flywheel. (Source)
Conclusion
Hashflow’s code updates prioritize scalability (cross-chain support) and sustainable tokenomics (fee burns). While recent optimizations boosted volume, long-term success hinges on balancing unlocks with demand. Will staking rewards offset inflation as more chains join the network?
