FIAT x VIX

$FIATVIX Hedging against Volatility Spikes

FIAT x VIX: Volatility Hedge Coin
Core concept: Hedging against volatility spikes, burning supply when the CBOE VIX Index futures rise.

  • What it tracks: CBOE VIX Index (spot) and, more directly, CBOE VIX Index futures (front-month / term structure), plus optional volatility-of-volatility measures

  • Burn when: VIX futures rise (e.g., front-month settlement up versus prior reference, or term structure shifts into backwardation / steepening)

  • Hedge against: Equity drawdowns, risk-off regimes, and portfolio stress driven by volatility expansion and liquidity tightening

  • Educational focus: Volatility dynamics (implied vs realized), VIX construction, futures term structure (contango/backwardation), crisis regime behavior, hedging mechanics, and how volatility products interact with equities/credit during shocks

Status: Meme Coin • Experimental • Education-Focused
Theme: When volatility spikes, FIATVIX burns.

💡 What It Is

FIATVIX is a meme coin that burns its own supply when market volatility increases. It tracks the CBOE VIX Index and, more directly, CBOE VIX Index futures—turning risk-off stress and volatility expansion into visible, on-chain deflation.

💸 When fear rises, FIATVIX burns — because volatility is the hidden tax on portfolios.

Built on Solana, FIATVIX is a symbolic hedge against volatility spikes and an educational tool for understanding implied volatility, market stress regimes, and hedging mechanics.

⚙️ How It Works

StepSignalAction1️⃣Track volatility data (VIX, VIX futures)Oracle reads approved market data feeds2️⃣If VIX futures ↑ ≥ 0.1%Burn event triggered3️⃣Burn fraction = (x / 2)% of supplyTokens removed from Developer Burn Reserve4️⃣Randomized execution windowReduces predictability; on-chain verified

Volatility up → supply down. It’s the blockchain version of market panic becoming scarcity.

Governance may adjust which contract(s) are tracked (front-month vs weighted basket), observation windows, and data source providers via on-chain proposals.

🔥 Burn Logic

  • If selected VIX futures reference rises ≥ 0.1%, burn (x / 2)% of supply

  • Burns originate from the Developer Burn Reserve (DBR)

  • Execution is randomized post-reference update

  • Fully verifiable on-chain

  • No minting. No inflation. Only burn-by-design.

  • Initial Supply: 1,000,000,000 FIATVIX

  • Blockchain: Solana (SPL Token Standard)

  • Contract: To be announced post-deployment

DBR is non-transferable and used solely for burns.

🧮 Example

If the selected VIX futures reference rises from 18.0 → 19.8:

  • x = 100 × (19.8 / 18.0 − 1) = 10.0%

  • Burn fraction = (10.0 / 2)% = 5.0%

  • If Supply = 600,000,000 → Burn = 30,000,000 FIATVIX (subject to DBR balance)

New Supply: 570,000,000 FIATVIX

Every volatility spike leaves a permanent mark on the chain.

🧠 Educational Focus

FIATVIX turns market stress into a visual experience:

  • 📈 Volatility Regimes — calm vs crisis, clustering, reflexivity

  • 🧮 Implied vs Realized — what VIX measures and what it doesn’t

  • 🧾 Futures Term Structure — contango/backwardation and carry

  • 📉 Risk-Off Mechanics — deleveraging, liquidity gaps, correlation spikes

  • 🛡️ Hedging Concepts — convexity, protection cost, downside insurance intuition

Each burn becomes a lesson in why markets break the way they do.

🔍 Transparency Dashboard

Post-launch dashboard will show:

  • Latest VIX and VIX futures reference values + timestamps

  • Total supply & DBR balance

  • Burn history & TX hashes

All burns are public and verifiable on Solana.

💬 Philosophy

Volatility is the market’s truth serum. When it rises, it exposes leverage, fragility, and the real cost of risk.

💸 When volatility rises, FIATVIX burns — because fear always gets paid.
