Recently, I spent time delving into Hypercroc's automated yield strategy on Hyperliquid and found the approach quite unconventional.

In simple terms, the core logic of this system is to incentivize short-term actions inversely: by reducing users' operational frequency, it directly links yields to long-term holding and stable participation. In other words, it doesn't encourage you to tinker every day, but instead makes persistence a genuine source of income.

Currently, there are several key points worth noting:

**First is the positioning of XP.** At this stage, XP is the most central asset within the entire ecosystem. It's not just points or tokens; it is a critical variable that directly affects yield distribution.

What’s interesting about this design is that it changes the traditional DeFi "fast in, fast out" arbitrage logic, shifting toward a more sustainable participation model. For users who are long-term optimistic about the ecosystem, this actually adds a real yield expectation.

The reverse incentive gameplay is indeed interesting, but it still depends on the implementation results.

This logic flips the traditional arbitrage approach—holding long-term might actually allow you to reap real profits? It sounds plausible, but I still want to see the data before making any conclusions.

Wait, reverse incentives for short-term trading? Isn't that just saying—don't make reckless moves, just stay put and earn? Haha, for someone like me who has a tendency to act impulsively, it's a disaster. XP is directly linked to earnings, it feels like using language therapy to teach me how to behave...

Wow, this reverse incentive logic is really clever. Finally, there's a project willing to call out those retail investors who are always trading short-term.

Reverse incentives sound good, but how many people can truly hold on? Long-term gains sound appealing, but I just want to know if XP will become the next points trap in the future. That's why I'm still watching and not wanting to get cut.

I think the reverse incentive approach is quite innovative, but you really need to stay patient. Finally, some protocols are starting to reflect on the fast in-and-out strategy, but it's unclear how long they can stick to it. The XP lock-up direction is good; now it depends on whether it can truly support the expected returns in the future. At first glance, it seems like copying something, but the logic is indeed a bit different. If this idea can really be implemented, it will have to change many people's trading habits.

Haha, this idea of reverse incentives is indeed interesting, completely opposite to the common approach of many projects that rely on crazy volume boosting.

Oh no, this reverse incentive logic is really clever. Finally, someone has discouraged short-term traders.
