User Interfaces
The Hubble Protocol offers a comprehensive suite of user interfaces, each designed to provide specific functionality within the ecosystem.
Galactic Bank
The Galactic Bank serves as the central hub where users can manage their primary token holdings within the Hubble ecosystem. This interface provides consolidated access to both share tokens and pegged tokens, creating a streamlined experience for users managing multiple asset types.
The primary function of the Galactic Bank is to provide users with a dashboard for managing their $HUBBLE and $EX tokens. This centralized interface allows users to quickly view balances, initiate transfers, and access the specialized management desks for each token type. By consolidating these functions in a single interface, the protocol simplifies the user experience while maintaining clear pathways to specific functionality.
Token Management Interfaces
The protocol provides dedicated interfaces for managing each token type, with specialized functions appropriate to their unique characteristics and lock durations.
Hubble Desk
The Hubble Desk is dedicated to $HUBBLE token management, offering comprehensive functionality for both liquid and locked positions. Users visiting this interface can:
Lock their $HUBBLE to receive $xHUBBLE, initiating the 180-day locking period
Create vesting schedules to automatically exit $xHUBBLE positions after the full 180-day duration
Manage existing vests, including options to cancel or modify planned exits
Execute instant exits from $xHUBBLE positions, receiving 50% of the underlying $HUBBLE value
This interface implements the crucial locking mechanics that support long-term alignment, with the 50% penalty for early exits creating significant disincentives for premature withdrawals. These penalties are distributed between Mission Control and the Dark Energy Module, recycling value to committed participants.
Ex Desk
The Ex Desk provides parallel functionality for $EX token management, adapted for the shorter lock duration of the pegged token. At this interface, users can:
Lock their $EX to receive $xEX, initiating the 14-day locking period
Create vesting schedules to automatically exit $xEX positions after the full 14-day duration
Manage existing vests, including options to cancel or modify planned exits
Execute instant exits from $xEX positions, receiving 50% of the underlying $EX value
The shorter lock duration for $xEX creates a more accessible entry point for protocol participation while still encouraging medium-term commitment. The 50% penalty structure mirrors that of $xHUBBLE, maintaining consistency in the protocol's approach to early exits.
Mission Control
Mission Control represents the governance and staking heart of the Hubble Protocol, where users can actively participate in protocol direction while earning rewards. This multifaceted interface serves dual purposes, allowing users to both earn diverse rewards and shape the protocol's future development through governance participation.
Control Room
The Control Room functions as the primary staking interface, where users stake their $xHUBBLE to earn multiple reward streams. These rewards include:
$EX emissions during Light and Neutral epochs
$xHUBBLE emissions according to epoch type
Penalties from early exits
Deposit fees from Genesis pools after launch
This interface also provides claim functionality, allowing users to collect accumulated rewards. The Control Room implements core mechanics for value distribution to governance participants, creating alignment between protocol success and stakeholder rewards.
Mission Command
Mission Command serves as the governance center of the protocol, providing comprehensive tools for protocol decision-making. Users can:
Review past governance proposals and their outcomes
Examine current proposals under consideration
Cast votes using their staked $xHUBBLE weight
This governance mechanism ensures that protocol development remains aligned with stakeholder interests while providing transparency into decision-making processes. Through Mission Command, the community guides critical parameters including whitelist pools for Genesis emissions and potential adjustments to lock durations.
Staking Interfaces
The protocol provides specialized staking interfaces beyond Mission Control, creating targeted incentives for liquidity providers and additional participation options.
Starport
The Starport serves as the primary interface for LP token staking, allowing users to stake their liquidity provider tokens to earn $xHUBBLE rewards. This interface supports the protocol's liquidity infrastructure while distributing share token rewards to those providing market depth.
LP staking represents a key component of the protocol's incentive structure, directing share token emissions toward participants supporting trading activity and price discovery. This mechanism helps maintain liquid markets for protocol tokens while rewarding those who contribute to market efficiency.
Admirals Club
The Admirals Club hosts special limited-time farming opportunities, funded directly from Protocol Reserves. These time-bounded incentive programs create focused opportunities for participation while drawing from the 10,400 $xHUBBLE allocation reserved for protocol development needs.
These periodic farming opportunities allow the protocol to direct incentives toward strategic objectives without modifying the base emission schedule. By funding these opportunities from reserves, the protocol maintains economic predictability while creating flexible incentive structures.
Merchant Docks
The Merchant Docks hosts farming opportunities specifically for $EX LP tokens, with funding levels that adjust based on the current Epoch type. This responsive funding approach aligns liquidity incentives with protocol needs, increasing support during favorable market conditions.
During Light Epochs, these farms receive enhanced funding, creating stronger incentives when the protocol operates above peg. This countercyclical approach directs resources toward supporting liquidity when market demand is strongest, reinforcing positive momentum.
Deep Space Inn
The Deep Space Inn provides farming opportunities for $HUBBLE LP tokens, similarly adjusting funding based on Epoch type. This interface complements the Merchant Docks by focusing on share token liquidity rather than pegged token liquidity.
The dynamic funding model ensures that $HUBBLE liquidity receives appropriate support based on current market conditions, creating balanced incentives across the protocol's token ecosystem. During Light Epochs, these farms receive enhanced emissions, supporting share token liquidity during favorable market conditions.
Galactic Exchange
The Galactic Exchange hosts the protocol's minting and redemption mechanics, providing interfaces for converting between $stS and $EX under various market conditions. This component is central to maintaining the protocol's pegging mechanisms and adjusting to market dynamics.
Black Market
The Black Market operates exclusively during Black Hole Epochs, when the protocol faces significant bearish pressure. During these periods, users can redeem 1 $EX for 0.991 $stS, creating a floor price slightly below the target peg.
This redemption mechanism helps stabilize the protocol during challenging market conditions, providing an exit route for $EX holders while preventing excessive price deviations. The slight discount from the target peg helps compensate the protocol for providing this stability mechanism.
Minting Market
The Minting Market activates only during White Hole Epochs, when the protocol faces potential death spiral risk while trading above peg. During these periods, users can mint 1 $EX for 1.009 $stS, slightly above the target peg.
This minting mechanism helps recapitalize the protocol when the Death Spiral Risk (DSR) approaches critical levels, increasing the backing ratio while maintaining approximate peg stability. The slight premium above target peg helps the protocol rebuild reserves during these specialized conditions.
Special Market
The Special Market operates during unique circumstances, including protocol launch and other exceptional situations. This specialized interface provides tailored minting and redemption options adapted to specific protocol needs.
During the initial minting event, this market will host the two-phase process described in the EX Initial Minting Event documentation, including discount $xEX minting for Hubblers and OG Stakers followed by standard 1:1 $EX minting.
Dark Energy Module
The Dark Energy Module provides a dedicated staking interface for $xEX holders, creating a specialized yield opportunity for those holding locked pegged tokens. Users can stake their $xEX in this module to earn $xHUBBLE rewards, particularly during challenging market conditions.
This module shines during Dark Epochs, when $EX trades below peg, receiving exclusive $xHUBBLE emissions during these periods. During standard Dark Epochs, 4 $xHUBBLE is emitted solely to this module, creating strong incentives for participation when the protocol faces bearish pressure.
The Dark Energy Module creates countercyclical incentives that support protocol stability during downturns, rewarding those who maintain commitment during challenging periods. This mechanics help maintain engagement throughout market cycles, contributing to protocol resilience.
