Genius

The tracked asset belongs to Genius Terminal and uses GENIUS, not the GENI, GENS or GNUS tickers attached to unrelated projects. The terminal routes spot orders through direct pools or aggregators and presents Hyperliquid perpetuals; it does not become every underlying exchange or liquidity pool.

Shuttle Labs supplies the interface and an unhosted wallet with exportable keys. Its terms say third-party chains and venues remain outside its control. “Noncustodial” describes user-key custody, not every protocol component that can move or pause an order.

The white paper’s orchestrator wallets are Lit Protocol programmable key pairs restricted to approved actions. Vaults receive and remove liquidity across chains; Lit Actions verify order execution and help rebalance those vaults.

An Actions Safety Module decides which Lit Actions are permitted. Genius Foundation DAO, described as separate from Shuttle Labs, can appoint Guardian addresses that pause actions during a threat.

Recovery is intentionally asymmetric: Guardians can stop the system, while only a designated multisig can unpause. The paper explains the roles but the reviewed public materials did not identify the current Guardian or multisig signers.

Before 12 April 2026, Genius promised a token while traders accumulated GP. Later, the Season 1 page assigned 70 million GENIUS via Genius Foundation. GP remained campaign accounting; Season 2 even reserved a discretionary GP pool for the team.

At TGE, an early claimant lost 70% to a burn. Doing nothing locked the entire allocation for one year. For 48 hours, a third route burned everything in exchange for net Genius fees attributable to that trader. Underlying DEX fees were expressly excluded.

The campaign refund was backward-looking, personal and time-limited. It did not promise that any market buyer could return GENIUS for cash, platform revenue or treasury assets. Binance reports a one-billion maximum supply and roughly 954 million total, but official pages reviewed here do not reconcile allocation and vesting.

Likewise, planned governance, premium access and incentives are not a published voting system. No proposal contract, quorum, vote weight, staking contract or fee-sharing formula was found.

Market and explorer records point to 0x1F12…e9A6 on BNB Chain. Readable first-party pages did not pin that address or publish verified bytecode, proxy implementation, owner, minter, upgrade administrator or full unlock schedule.

The interface terms let Shuttle Labs change or discontinue functionality and limit service liability. They do not grant token holders company equity or Foundation assets. Without a token-specific legal instrument, no broader right should be inferred from the word “Foundation” or “governance.”
