Huobi Token (HT) is an ERC-20 Token that was issued by Huobi on January 22nd 2018. Out of the 500 Million tokens that were created 60% of HT were issued by an airdrop to Huobi.Pro users, 20% of HT are held by Huobi to support the exchanges operations and promotions, with the remaining 20% of HT held by Huobi for future incentive with a four year vesting freezing period.
How can I use Huobi Tokens?
There are currently four ways to use Huobi Tokens, with potentially more ways to come in the future. The current ways to use Huobi Tokens are:
1. The best way to use Huobi Tokens is to vote with them on HADAX to receive free reward airdrop tokens from winning HADAX listings. Token Holders can use Huobi Tokens to vote on tokens to be listed on Huobi HADAX (Huobi Autonomous Digital Asset Exchange) and earn reward tokens as an incentive. Upcoming Tokens are listed on HADAX for user voting, giving users the chance and freedom to decide what is listed on HADAX. Tokens which achieve a winning vote are listed on HADAX for trading in BTC and ETH pairs.
Each month users can vote with their Huobi Tokens and help decide which tokens will get added to HADAX. Some Tokens that are available for voting may offer incentives for voting such as a Token reward for user votes where a user may vote with a Huobi Token and if the project obtains a winning vote on HADAX the user would receive both their Huobi Token and the incentive Token back as a reward. By voting on certain winning projects users can increase their token holdings while retaining their Huobi Token investment.
The three tokens with the highest votes win each round. The top two projects currently in the voting stage (As of May 3rd 2018) are Themis (GET) and PromotionChain (PC) which have a reward ratio of 1:0.02 and 1:0.16 Huobi Tokens to Incentive tokens respectively. This means that if you vote on Themis (GET), and Themis wins the voting round, you will receive 0.2 Themis (GET) Tokens for each Huobi Token you use to vote. If you vote with 100 Huobi tokens you will receive 2 Themis Tokens as a reward. If you use 100 Huobi Tokens to vote on PromotionChain (PC), and PromotionChain wins, you will get 16 PromotionChain Tokens as a reward.
If a project does not win in the monthly round, the users Huobi Tokens are either refunded or reinvested in the next round of voting, depending on what a user wishes to do. If a user wishes to get their Huobi Tokens back during voting they may cancel their vote at anytime during the vote. In any scenario users are guaranteed to receive their Huobi Tokens back. Huobi Tokens are never spent or lost when voting.
