What can HT be used for?

The Huobi Token can be used to access all Huobi products, including Huobi Global business, VIP discounts, and exclusive events. In particular, holding HT in the Huobi exchange wallet entitles users to trading fee discounts of up to 65%. Additionally, HT owners can access new cryptocurrency projects via the Huobi Prime platform. Users can purchase tokens of new projects at a discounted rate, before the official listing on the Huobi exchange, by holding a certain amount of HT.

Furthermore, Huobi’s PrimePool allows participants to stake their HT and earn rewards for doing so. When new projects are listed, HT token holders have the opportunity to earn free airdrops and receive tokens from the project. Users must lock tokens for a predetermined amount of time. The amount of rewards distributed is based on the number of tokens and the period they are locked for.

HT stakers can also earn rewards by staking on the Huobi ECO (HECO) Chain. This is an EVM-compatible chain that has support for smart contracts. It features a range of decentralized applications which users can use HT to engage with.

Lastly, by holding HT, traders have the right to take part in the community-driven governance of the platform. HT owners can vote on issues such as coin listings, burning mechanisms, and other development issues related to the overall running of the platform.
