Trove was originally positioned as a derivatives DEX platform, focusing on trading perpetual contracts for non-liquid assets such as Pokémon cards and CSGO skins. The project once announced that it would debut on HyperEVM to gain more exposure.

The fundraising phase performed well—successfully raising $11.5 million during the ICO from January 8 to 11. However, the market reaction was another story: the team subsequently cleared the Hype tokens obtained from LPs on the secondary market and announced a migration to the Solana ecosystem.

This series of actions exposed the project's wavering in chain selection, market positioning, or ecosystem support. The jump from HyperEVM to Solana not only reflects differences in market liquidity but also raises questions about the project's true intentions. Rapid capital outflows and quick chain switches—such signals warrant attention.
