# \[Hyperliquid] The Big Short

{% hint style="danger" %}

Everyone talks about token unlocks — but only a few know how to trade them correctly.

We built a strategy that shorts overvalued tokens that are likely to drop when unlock pressure hits.<br>

## Strategy Description

Every day, **millions of tokens are unlocked**. In an illiquid market, that’s forced selling. We track these unlocks and identify when **$500K+ USD in tokens are to hit** the market.

With this information, we find short candidates.

## Strategy Design

### Inflation Coefficient (IC)

$$
IC = Unlock Amount / Market Cap
$$

* This formula tells us which token will most likely lose value.
* **Higher IC → higher pressure → better short candidate.**

### Weight Assignment

* Each token’s short weight is **based on its IC**.
* **Higher inflation → higher short weight.**
* The portfolio **constantly adjusts** as fresh data arrives.

### Rebalancing Logic

Every hour, the algorithm checks **current positions** and **target weights**:

* **If any gap > $20**&#x20;
  * Rebalance

Every day, when **new capital enters**:

* **If deposit > $5 K**
  * Add proportionally to short positions, respecting current weights.

## Why Hyperliquid Vaults?

* Native way to run automated on-chain strategies **without managing bots or infra**.
* **Trust-minimized**, gasless for users.
* Executes on Hyperliquid’s order book for fast, efficient execution at scale.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.neutral.trade/additional-info/deprecated-vaults/bet/hyperliquid-the-big-short.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
