we fucked up the hypest nft sale.

here’s all of it.

we launched on opensea with secondary trading open from minute one.

within ten minutes passes were listed below mint and minting stalled.

we used our treasury to buy 700+ passes off the floor.

it only funded arbitrage. that’s on us.

not one of those passes was sold. every single one is burned. proof ↓

then we rebuilt the game’s economy from scratch.

where things stand now:

> 1,201 minted, 700+ burned
> fewer than 500 passes will ever exist
> pass holders get real in-game advantages
> something extra is coming for them
> this is v1, your feedback decides what ships next

to everyone who held through this: thank you. we won’t forget it.

the game and the token go live today.

every dollar from the sale goes into the prize pool.

notifs on @hypestgg, the contract address will only be posted there.

come take it.

one thing i always hated about other founders/projects: poor communication with their community

and i just caught myself making the same mistake, too deep in building @hypestgg

so here's the update:

this week we're launching the Hype Hub. eligible users can spend points to pull cards of real CT influencers. once the game is live, those cards earn based on how that influencer's posts perform on X in real time.

check eligibility: checker.hypest.gg

(+ one more big announcement coming)

i think hypest has every shot at becoming the loudest game on Robinhood Chain, and we'll do everything to make it happen

you're not bullish enough

Fantasy Top did $10M in fees in two weeks with one idea.

We took that idea and made it hyperspeculative.

i remember fantasy.top in 2024 and i remember how fun it was

i remember bigcoin/addicted in 2025 and i remember how fun it was

for 6-7 months starting november 2025 we were building a game around ct influencers. the idea was that players take ct influencers as slaves and make money off them

all that time we were endlessly building, rebuilding, changing stuff, running audits, adding shit. and at some point we looked at the final result and came to a brutally unpleasant conclusion: the economic model looked "well thought out" but there was zero room for fun and speculation in it. and without that the game is dead on arrival

people love fun. and people love money.

so we started reworking one thing, then another, and it became obvious it's better to just fucking start from scratch. on top of that twitter started banning the game's account for "sensitive content"

and after all that shit i realized endless perfectionism is a road to nowhere. had to kill it

end of may. and here comes the announcement that fantasy.top is shutting down. and i thought: what if we take the concept of that game in its purest form and combine it with the economic model of every hyped crypto game from the last year?

that's how HYPEST (@hypestgg) was born

basically fantasy.top on steroids with fun added on top: ct influencer cards, gacha mechanics, level progression and a token that drives the whole economy

hard to think of a better place to launch a game like this right now than Robinhood Chain

IT'S GONNA BE LIT
