Distribution
Huobi, founded by Leon Li, launched the Huobi Token (HT) on January 22, 2018, to reward users with reduced trading fees. This initiative aimed to enhance value for its primarily Asian user base and followed similar loyalty token models introduced by other exchanges. The HT token has a total supply of 500 million, with 300 million tokens distributed during a 15-day period to users who purchased discounted service packages.
The token distribution began on January 24 and concluded on February 7, 2018, with rapid sales indicating high demand among users. Of the total supply, 60% is currently in circulation, while 20% is allocated for user rewards and platform operations, and another 20% is reserved for the team over a four-year vesting period. Huobi's strategy for the token launch was to recover user engagement following significant regulatory impacts on trading volumes in China.
Risk Report
Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
Economic design score 100 out of 100.
The economic design of this project is impressive, with a clearly defined supply cap of 500,000,000 and all of its total supply currently in circulation. This indicates a well-structured tokenomics framework, potentially providing stability and predictability for investors.
Team credibility score 96 out of 100.
With a strong team that is publicly identified and an asset age of over 8 years, the credibility of this project is notable. While the whitepaper quality is rated highly, the absence of audit data is a minor concern. Nonetheless, the deployer address is recorded, contributing to overall trustworthiness.
Contract mechanics score 93 out of 100.
The contract mechanics reveal a well-constructed protocol, with key features such as a verified contract, disabled mint authority, and locked balances. However, the source code remains unverified, which may raise some questions among potential users. Overall, the mechanisms in place appear robust and secure.
Holder distribution score 86 out of 100.
The distribution of holders indicates a balanced approach, with the top 10 wallets only holding 20.7% and top 50 wallets at 21.1%. With over 55,000 total holders, the project's assets appear to be widely distributed, which could contribute to its stability and lower risks of large sell-offs.
Liquidity and market dynamics score 40 out of 100.
The liquidity market score suggests challenges, with a low volume-to-market cap ratio of 0.76% and limited liquidity depth reflected in the 24-hour trading volume. The presence on two exchanges, one rated yellow and one green, indicates moderate confidence in trading, but this highlights potential concerns regarding liquidity.
Social behavioral score 41 out of 100.
While the project has verified social accounts on platforms like Twitter and Telegram, the audience data is limited. With a small following relative to its potential, and some risks indicated by regulatory actions and past exploits, there are areas where the project's social interaction and reputation could be improved.
The crypto market itself carries inherent risks, including volatility and regulatory uncertainties. Investors should remain aware of the historical flags related to hacks and regulatory actions associated with this asset, understanding that such factors could influence future performance and safety.
