HedgeDollar (HEDD) is a digital monetary asset engineered to operate at true currency scale while maintaining an immutable, fixed supply. Built on Base, an Ethereum-secured Layer-2 with extremely low transaction fees, HEDD enables high-velocity payments, remittances, transfers, and settlement without the prohibitive costs of Ethereum mainnet.

1. Token Standard & Network
• Standard: ERC-20
• Network: Base (Ethereum L2)
• Why Base:
            Base offers Ethereum-grade security with a fraction of the cost. Its ultra-low-fee environment makes HEDD viable for real-world monetary functions like microtransactions, retail payments, merchant operations, and global settlement—use cases that are infeasible on high-fee L1 chains.

2. Total Supply
• Fixed Supply: 2,424,000,000,000 HEDD
• Minting: None (0% inflation)
• Burns: None (permanently fixed)

            This supply mirrors the approximate U.S. monetary base at launch. It enables natural liquidity distribution, low unit price accessibility, and broad circulation without concentration risk—critical characteristics for a functional digital currency.

3. Liquidity & Circulation Characteristics
            A multi-trillion-unit supply creates naturally distributed liquidity. Value spreads across many holders instead of concentrating in a few wallets, reducing volatility and manipulation risk. Low-denomination units make HEDD practical for retail users, merchants, fintech apps, and everyday spending.

4. Decentralization & Security
            HEDD inherits Ethereum-level security through Base’s rollup architecture. Settlement occurs on Ethereum L1, giving HEDD a resilient, censorship-resistant foundation. The large supply and broad distribution reduce centralized control vectors and wallet dominance, enhancing long-term decentralization.

5. Utility & Use Cases
            HEDD is built to perform as actual money: daily payments, online purchases, merchant POS transactions, peer-to-peer transfers, global remittances, and long-term value storage. Base’s low fees make microtransactions and high-frequency settlement economically viable.

6. Payment Facilitator Integration
            ERC-20 compatibility ensures seamless integration with wallets, payment gateways, merchant processors, fintech apps, and POS systems. Base’s low fees and high throughput remove friction for consumer-facing payment flows.

7. Economic Model
• Fixed Supply — No inflation, no dilution, predictable long-term structure.
• Real Monetary Scale — Large supply creates meaningful liquidity and reduces volatility.
• Efficient Transactions — Fast finality and near-zero gas fees support real-world use.

8. Governance & Transparency
            The supply is fixed and publicly verifiable. No governance functions exist that can change supply, mint, or manipulate balances. Contracts are open-source, and distribution is transparent. HEDD combines the macro-scale liquidity of fiat with the hard-cap scarcity of a digital asset—powered by a network engineered for low-cost, high-frequency economic activity.
