# \[Hyperliquid] The Big Short

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.
