What Is Hashflow? Features and Tokenomics

### What Is Hashflow (HFT)?

[Hashflow](https://hashflow.com/) is a DEX Aggregator that offers deep liquidity across the leading blockchains. Hashflow offers traders the best prices, access to $8B in liquidity, and the ability to trade every token both interchain and cross chain. Since launching in April 2021, Hashflow has facilitated over $18B in total trade volume.

Hashflow's team consists of top minds from both web2 and web3 including Airbnb, Amazon, Arbitrum, Citadel, Genesis Trading, and more. Backers include Dragonfly Capital, Electric Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Wintermute Trading, and Balaji Srinivasan.

### What is the utility of HFT?

HFT is the native, governance token for the Hashflow protocol as well as the [Hashverse](hashflow.com/hashverse).

* __50% RevShare for [HFT Stakers](https://app.hashflow.com/stake)__: Hashflow currently distributes 50% of its monthly revenue generated from trading fees to HFT stakers in its community.
* __DAO Governance__: Hashflow governance follows a vote-escrow (ve)token model where voting rights are determined based on the amount of HFT staked as well as the duration. Staking HFT grants users the right to vote and manage the future of the Hashflow protocol.

### What makes Hashflow unique?

Hashflow leverages an intent-based, Smart Order Routing (SOR) architecture to offer traders: 

* __The Best Prices__: SOR routes the trade to find the best possible price.
* __Deep Liquidity__: Access to over $8B in liquidity.
* __Ability to Trade Every Token__: Users can trade all of their favorite assets.
* __Native Cross-Chain Swaps__: Seamlessly swap tokens across your favorite chains (including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana). No bridging required.

Hashflow’s SOR finds the most optimal path across liquidity sources and fills every trade of any size with the best price for users. Through its off-chain RFQ engine, Hashflow will seek competitive price quotes from professional market makers. If for any reason their liquidity is limited, Hashflow will then fetch quotes from additional liquidity sources and route users directly to the best price. The ability to fetch on-chain liquidity from over 50+ on-chain sources also means that users can bypass large fees tied to other front-ends (for example, users can access liquidity and rates on AMMs without having to worry about a 0.15% fee). For trades that are filled via RFQ, Hashflow provides users guaranteed prices, full MEV-protection, and lower gas fees.
