VEREM rides on the hype of Hacken's audit, and HAI also gains temporary popularity—but with no substantial content.

How “Aura” is Bringing HAI into the Spotlight Through Audits

On March 21, VEREM launched a wave of promotion on X, pushing Hacken’s audit badge into the spotlight. Several major accounts reposted simultaneously, flooding the feed with @hackenclub tags. This wasn’t organic spread; it was the “brand association effect” of audit endorsements—HAI was casually pulled into the conversation.

The background is that the RWA narrative reignited in early 2026, with VEREM using audit results as a “trust anchor” to enter the market. As for HAI? No unlocks, no listings, no product updates. But some traders, seeing Hacken’s reputation in B2B, automatically assumed HAI would benefit too.

From the data I see: posts solely discussing HAI are almost nonexistent, but posts related to VEREM + Hacken generated over 800,000 exposures within 24 hours. The price? Up about 5%, reaching $0.00357. Trading volume stayed around $146,000, with open interest unchanged. But engagement was 8.4 times higher than the 5-day average. The reason is clear: this is “riding the wave” of hype, not fundamentals.

The timeline also tells the story: Hacken completed the VEREM audit on March 17, PR was released on March 14, but the peak traffic occurred on March 21—lagging and concentrated. This clearly indicates a coordinated campaign, not organic discovery. On-chain metrics related to HAI itself show no changes.

• Not price-driven: Some say HAI rose 3.5% that day, but volume didn’t increase (still $146,000, open interest unchanged). The attention mainly came from VEREM’s viral promotion, not spot buying.
• Supply pressure ignored: HAI has 833 million tokens circulating out of a 1 billion cap (83.3%). Potential sell pressure was almost never mentioned in this hype.
• Long-term value? Hacken’s multi-chain rebuild (they were hacked before) might help B2B, but this hype looks more like a short-term stance.

How VEREM’s Promotion Spillovered to HAI

The event chain is clear: VEREM releases an audit announcement → RWA narrative heats up → assets associated with Hacken get attention. HAI has no TVL, no fee income, and no protocol metrics to track. This isn’t driven by fundamentals; it’s attention shifting.

Here’s a breakdown of each driving factor:

Out of these five drivers, three are spillover effects from VEREM. The audit benefits Hacken’s brand long-term, but its connection to HAI is weak.

A bigger issue is: some equate “Hacken audit of a project” directly with “HAI will pump.” HAI has fallen about 83% over the past year, with a market cap around $3 million. Before claiming it’s “undervalued,” face the fact that: there’s almost no real revenue or stable demand visible.

My conservative advice: wait until on-chain staking and other real demand indicators strengthen before judging whether this attention can be sustained.

Conclusion: The peak within these 24 hours was driven by VEREM’s marketing, not HAI’s fundamentals. Without direct catalysts, the hype will quickly fade. If you want exposure to RWA, prioritize assets with solid stories and data support.

Assessment: You’re late to this narrative. This wave is more like short-term attention misallocation. The real winners are event-driven traders who can seize the “coordinated tweet → emotional pulse” window. Long-term holders, builders, and funds have little advantage at this stage. It’s better to wait and see HAI’s own on-chain catalysts and genuine demand signals emerge.
