Introduction
The SafeHaven Exchange is committed to establishing a robust and secure trading platform that empowers users while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. This white paper outlines the tokenomics of the SafeHaven Exchange Token (SHE Token), detailing its structure, benefits, and alignment with the interests of both the exchange and its investors. Additionally, we introduce The SafeHaven Initiative, a philanthropic effort dedicated to supporting mistreated and hungry children while promoting community engagement.
For Transparency: We fully intend to migrate to our own stable coin blockchain in the near future which we’ve already created. This will serve as the cornerstone for the smart contract tokens of the businesses on our platform. The growth potential is immense, supported by genuine enterprises that embody real-world success. We want you to recognize that the businesses featured on our exchange are owned by dedicated individuals—people who have poured their heart and soul into realizing their dreams. Our vision is to establish SafeHaven Exchange as the NASDAQ of blockchain, a thriving marketplace that champions the hard work and aspirations of these entrepreneurs. We will not subject them to the volatility of other “stable coins”.
Key Features
- Profit Sharing: A profit-sharing model will be implemented for three years after receiving approval for securities trading in Q3 2025, following the conclusion of all free trials.
- Robust Fee Structure: Our fee structure will be the most comprehensive and favorable in the industry, designed to incentivize trading and participation.
- Token Migration: The SHE Token will be migrated to the SafeHaven Stable Coin blockchain once we reach 5 million subscribers. At this point, the SHE Token will be classified as a security, and investments will constitute actual shares of the exchange.

Utility of the Token
- Trading Fee Discounts: Users can pay trading fees with SHE Tokens to receive discounts, incentivizing token use.

Automated Tiered Burn Mechanism
Overview: The burn mechanism will automatically burn a percentage of the tokens based on the total volume of tokens staked or vested on the exchange, with the burn rate increasing as the volume reaches predetermined thresholds.
Example Tiers:
- Tier 1: 0 – 1,000,000 tokens staked/vested → Burn Rate: 0.5%
- Tier 2: 1,000,001 – 5,000,000 tokens staked/vested → Burn Rate: 1%
- Tier 3: 5,000,001 – 10,000,000 tokens staked/vested → Burn Rate: 1.5%
- Tier 4: 10,000,001 – 50,000,000 tokens staked/vested → Burn Rate: 2%
- Tier 5: 50,000,001 – 100,000,000 tokens staked/vested → Burn Rate: 2.5%
- Tier 6: 100,000,001 tokens and above → Burn Rate: 3%
Why This is Good for the Exchange: The automated burn mechanism encourages users to stake their tokens, reducing circulating supply and stabilizing the token’s value.
Why This is Good for Investors: Regular burns based on staking volume create scarcity, potentially leading to increased token value over time.
