What $BETTER is

$BETTER is the access and alignment token for the BETTER ecosystem. It gates product usage and aligns demand with protocol activity.

​
Utility

​
Access gating

  • Hold $BETTER to view the Terminal
  • Stake the same quantity to deposit into Vaults
  • Thresholds vary by fully diluted valuation tier; Lite Mode (optional) halves the Terminal holding requirement

​
Alignment

Gating helps reduce edge dilution, align incentives, and tie product usage to the token.

​
How $BETTER benefits holders

$BETTER is not only an access gate. It is also designed to accrue value through routine buybacks and burns funded by BETTER revenue.

​
Buyback and burn programme

BETTER uses revenue from:
  • Vault performance fees
  • The business-to-business prediction market data ingestion product (sold to prop firms)
  • OpenRouter API credits for BETTER’s in-house open-source LLM trained exclusively on prediction market data
to routinely buy and burn $BETTER.

​
Arbitrage buybacks

When the HFT system captures arbitrage between vBETTER and the underlying vault exposure, or between vault exposure and $TRUTH-PERP on Hyperliquid, 30 per cent of net arbitrage profits are used to buy and burn $BETTER.

​
Trading taxes

On buys and sells of $BETTER, a two per cent (2%) buy tax and two per cent (2%) sell tax apply. These taxes route to the protocol treasury and fund capital expenditure such as infrastructure and hosting.
The Terminal’s Lite Mode fee (two per cent of notional volume traded) is separate from the $BETTER buy and sell tax.
