Executive summary.
hineycoin exists to bring people into crypto the right way: education first, honesty always. Most projects sell a token and hope users figure out the rest. We invert that … we teach first, then onboard.
The ecosystem is anchored by two flagship products built to work together. HineyVersity Academy is a learn-to-earn platform covering the skills the digital economy actually requires … financial literacy, crypto, blockchain, AI, vibe coding, and digital safety … across three age tiers from children to adults. HineyPass removes the friction of getting started, turning a confusing first experience into a guided one. The $HINEY token is the connective tissue: it rewards verified learning, powers participation, and aligns the community around a shared, transparent goal.
$HINEY launched on Solana in May 2025. Its on-chain profile reflects deliberate technical hygiene that many projects skip: a fixed supply with mint authority permanently revoked, liquidity locked at 99.99%, roughly a third of supply held in locked Raydium protocol accounts, and an independent risk screening rated "Good." The project is operated by hineycoin, inc., a Virginia corporation, and the brand voice is intentionally restrained: we explain how things work in plain language, we never promise returns, and we name risk where it exists.
Crypto has two problems.
Both have held back mainstream adoption for more than a decade. Everything hineycoin builds is aimed at solving them.
Too easy to get hurt.
Phishing, rug pulls, malicious token approvals, and increasingly AI-powered scams. The threat surface keeps expanding while user literacy lags behind. Most people lose money before they understand what they own.
Too hard to get started.
Seed phrases, networks, custody, gas, slippage, bridges. Everyday people give up before they complete their first transaction. The friction itself is the failure mode.
These are not marketing problems; they are education and onboarding problems. They cannot be solved by another speculative token. They are solved by teaching people to recognise risk and by removing the friction that stops them before they begin.
We solve both with education and onboarding.
Two flagship products, built to work together: teach you safely, then get you in confidently.
HineyVersity … the education layer
HineyVersity is the education engine, and it teaches on three surfaces. The Academy is our flagship learn-to-earn platform, rewarding verified comprehension (not just attention) across crypto, AI, finance, and digital safety for three age tiers. HineyClips is a create-to-earn program where community creators make short-form educational videos. And our YouTube channel at hineyversity.com publishes long- and short-form lessons anyone can learn from for free.
HineyPass … the onboarding layer
A short assessment about your goals and experience produces a personalised starting path, with an optional AI-guided walkthrough so a first-time user never feels lost. HineyPass starts with the person, not the technology … the opposite of onboarding that assumes you already know what a wallet is.
The HineyVerse ecosystem.
The ecosystem spans twelve products in two tiers, built in stages. The token, the Hiney Kin NFTs, daily HineySpaces, and our educational content are live today; the HineyVersity Academy and the full HineyPass product are in active development, with a working HineyPass demo already online; and HineyMarket is on devnet, pending a security audit before mainnet. The lifestyle brands carry the culture and widen the top of the funnel.
HineyVersity Academy.
FutureKin Academy (ages 5–17) plus HineyVersity Pro (18+). Six future-skill domains. Real comprehension … not just engagement.
Animated, gamified lessons. Parent-managed wallets and allowance mechanics that teach real money skills. Rewards earned as Kin Coins.
Real-world skills and career prep for the digital economy. Supervised $HINEY (HC) practice, parent-approved.
Premium adult learning. AI tutoring. Live cohorts and certifications.
Six future-skill domains
The learn-to-earn model is deliberately disciplined. Rewards are tied to assessed understanding, which keeps incentives aligned with genuine education rather than farming. This is the engine of the ecosystem: as more people learn, more people hold and use $HINEY for the right reasons.
HineyPass.
Get started in under 60 seconds. HineyPass turns a confusing first experience into a guided one, built for everyone … not just crypto natives.
Most Web3 onboarding assumes you already know what a wallet is. HineyPass starts with the person, not the technology: a short assessment about your goals and experience produces a personalised path, so you always know exactly where to begin.
How it works
- Quick assessment. Four questions about your experience, your goals, and who you are learning for.
- Personalised path. A tailored course recommendation, a wallet-setup guide, and a clear next step.
- AI-guided setup. An optional walkthrough with our AI assistant so a first-time user never feels lost.
HineyPass and the Academy are designed to work as one: HineyPass gets you in safely, the Academy teaches you what comes next. A working HineyPass demo is live at hineypass.com; the full product and the Academy are in active development.
The $HINEY token.
$HINEY is the utility and access token of the hineycoin ecosystem. Its role is functional, not speculative: it rewards verified learning on HineyVersity, powers creator rewards on HineyClips, recognises founding-member identity through Hiney Kin NFTs, and serves as the unit of participation across community programs.
Why Solana
- High throughput, sub-cent fees … practical for frequent, small reward distributions like learn-to-earn.
- SPL standard … native compatibility with Phantom, Solflare, Jupiter, and the broader Solana ecosystem.
- Mature liquidity and tooling … established DEX infrastructure (Raydium, Jupiter) and on-chain verification services.
On-chain integrity
These properties are publicly verifiable on-chain … do not take our word for it:

Supply & distribution
$HINEY has a fixed supply of 992,628,453 tokens, fully circulating, with mint authority revoked so no further tokens can ever be created. Supply is spread across 1,624 holders. The two largest concentrations are not individual wallets at all … they are Raydium protocol accounts holding launch and liquidity reserves under smart-contract control, which materially reduces the risk of a large, sudden sell-off.
Holder concentration
Locked protocol accounts
Roughly a third of supply sits in two Raydium accounts that no individual … including the project itself … can move at will. They are governed entirely by Raydium's smart contracts:
- Raydium Launchpad Authority … 250,000,000 $HINEY (25.18%). Holds launch / bonding-curve and unsold allocation, used for liquidity provisioning and protocol mechanics. No private key can move it arbitrarily.
WLHv2UAZm6z4KyaaELi5pjdbJh6RESMva1Rnn8pJVVh - Raydium LP Vault Authority … ~75,470,062 $HINEY (7.60%). Holds the pool's token reserves; movable only through legitimate pool actions (swaps, LP add/remove). It cannot be unilaterally drained.

| 10 | 3zCFEZpyAf… | 16,022,309 | 1.61% | Known investor |
The top 10 holders represent 59.31% of supply. Excluding the two locked Raydium protocol accounts (32.78%), individual concentration within the top 10 is 26.53%. Of those individual wallets, four are team and developer wallets (ranks 3, 5, 6 and 9) holding roughly 14.8% of supply combined, and three are known long-term investor wallets (ranks 4, 7 and 10) holding roughly 9.5%; the remainder are community holders. The team's wallets are separate from the deployer wallet, which holds under 1% (~0.9%). These individual holdings are freely transferable on-chain and are not subject to contractual lock-ups. All figures are verifiable on-chain via Solscan and Birdeye.
A note on staking
Token staking was permanently deprecated following security incidents in early 2026, and treasury custody was hardened with multi-signature and hardware wallets. We do not offer, and do not intend to reintroduce, fixed-yield token staking. Any reference to staking elsewhere refers solely to optional Hiney Kin NFT staking operated via third-party tooling, which carries its own independent risks.
Hiney Kin NFTs.
Each Hiney Kin NFT is a founding-member identity within the hineycoin community. Two collections have sold out, with a commemorative third drop planned.
- OG Hiney Kin … 5,000 pieces · founder collection · sold out. Magic Eden
- Hiney Kin of Horror … 666 pieces · limited drop · sold out. Magic Eden
- Hiney Kin 1776 … 250 pieces · a commemorative drop for America's 250th anniversary · coming this summer.
Holders may optionally stake their NFTs through third-party tooling to earn $HINEY. NFT staking is optional, carries its own smart-contract and platform risk, and is distinct from the deprecated token-staking program.
Community & traction.
hineycoin has grown a real, active community rather than a purely speculative following.
The community sustains daily live X Spaces, weekly creator competitions, and active conversation across X, Discord, Telegram, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Education content is published continuously to reinforce the project's core thesis: people who understand crypto make better, safer decisions.
Roadmap.
We describe the roadmap in phases rather than fixed dates, and we distinguish clearly between what has shipped and what is still being built.

Roadmap items are goals, not guarantees. Timing and scope may change in response to security, regulatory, market, and execution realities.
The team.
hineycoin is built and operated by hineycoin, inc., a Virginia corporation, led by founder Lewis Capolupo (MrHiney). The wider team spans community leadership, education, NFT and brand design, technical analysis, and strategy, supported by active community hosts and contributors. A current, named team roster is maintained at hineycoin.online/team.
Risk factors.
We name risk plainly because that is the entire point of an education-first project. The following is not exhaustive.
- Market & value risk. $HINEY's price is volatile and may go to zero. It carries no promise of profit, yield, or future value.
- No yield. There is no fixed-return token-staking program. Anyone promising guaranteed $HINEY returns is not us.
- Regulatory risk. Crypto regulation is evolving and varies by jurisdiction. Future rules could affect the token, the products, or their availability in certain regions.
- Execution risk. Several products are still in active development. The HineyVersity Academy and the full HineyPass product are not yet generally available (HineyPass currently runs as a demo), and HineyMarket is on devnet, pending an independent security audit before mainnet. Features may change, be delayed, or not ship as described.
- Smart-contract & technical risk. Blockchain software can contain bugs or be exploited. On-chain transactions are irreversible.
- Third-party risk. The ecosystem relies on platforms we do not control … Solana, Raydium, Jupiter, Magic Eden, NFT-staking tooling, and others … each with its own risks.
- Security risk. Despite hardened custody, no system is immune. The early-2026 incidents informed our decision to deprecate token staking and move to multi-sig and hardware wallets.
- Liquidity risk. Although core liquidity is locked, market depth and tradability can still change.
Legal & regulatory.
Nature of the token. $HINEY is intended to function as a utility and access token within the hineycoin education ecosystem. It is not designed or offered as a share, security, investment contract, or a claim on profits.
Not an offer. This document is provided for information and education only. Nothing in it constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any token or security, or investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. Any securities-related activity the company may undertake would be conducted separately, through appropriate channels and documentation, and is outside the scope of this whitepaper.
Forward-looking statements. This whitepaper contains forward-looking statements about future development, products, and ecosystem growth. These are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and actual outcomes may differ materially. Metrics are believed accurate as of publication and are subject to change; past performance is not indicative of future results. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Jurisdiction & responsibility. Access to and use of $HINEY and the hineycoin products may be restricted in some jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to comply with the laws that apply to you. Always verify the official contract address before transacting, and do your own research.
Conclusion.
Crypto's hardest problems are not technical … they are human. People get hurt because they were never taught, and they give up because no one made it simple.
hineycoin is the attempt to fix both, in the open, with a token that rewards understanding rather than hype. We will keep explaining things in plain language, keep naming risk honestly, and keep building the academy and onboarding that the next wave of users actually needs. If that resonates, learn with us … and verify everything as you go.
