Wissel Huobi Token HT om naar BigONE Token ONE

Huobi, the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, recently announced and launched a new currency. The Huobi Token (HT) rewards exchange users for their loyalty with lowered transaction fees while also carrying its own value in tradable pairs against popular currencies. The hope was to bring greater value to Huobi’s millions of users, mostly located in Asian countries. The launch of the Huobi Token follows in the footsteps of other loyalty-building tokens that other exchanges have launched. The first and most successful of these tokens has been Binance Coin (BNB). The creation of BNB secured Binance’s place as the world’s leading exchange. It offered discounted trading fees in exchange for customer loyalty, primarily functioning as a loyalty rewards system. Huobi officially announced its intentions to launch a new token on January 22, 2018. Over the course of 15 days, Huobi would distribute 300 million HT (60% of the total supply) to its pro users who purchased a discounted service package. Each morning, a new batch of HT would become available on a first come, first served basis. Huobi declared this token distribution scheme, “not an ICO,” due to the nature of the offering. Users are buying a specific service package, part of which includes HT that give a discount toward trading fees. The exchange launched the Huobi Token as part of an overall strategy to recover its user base after tightening regulations in China severely restricted cryptocurrency trading. In an interview with CoinDesk, Leon Li, Huobi’s founder, revealed that Chinese rule changes had decimated the trading volume on Huobi by 95% between September 15 and November 1, 2017. The HT token distribution began on January 24 and wrapped up on February 7, 2018. Each day of the distribution, millions of tokens sold out in mere minutes after going on sale. At that point, 300 million HT had been distributed to Huobi Pro members who bought packages. That’s 60% of the total supply currently in public circulation. Another 200 million HT, 40% of the total supply, was set aside. 20% goes toward user rewards and platform operation. The other 20% is vested for four years and constitutes the team reward. Huobi isn’t the first exchange to issue its own token. Binance (BNB), Bibox (BIX), KuCoin (KCS) and Coss (COSS) have all issued their own tokens as well.

“ONE” is BigONE’s new platform token, issued at total number of 20 billion, and will be locked until mined, and gradually released through an innovative “Trade-Mining” Mechanism. ONE holders will receive 100 percent of trading fee on BigONE’s platform. ONE is divided into two parts: Community-owned 51% of all ONEs belong to community. The total amount is 10.2 billion. Once mined/released, these ONE tokens can circulate on BigONE. BIG token holders owned 49% of all ONEs belong to existing BIG token holders. Total amount of this part is 9.8 billion ONEs, and will be released at the same rate as the community-owned part in proportion. These ONEs will be airdropped to all BIG token holders every day. However, these ONEs airdropped to BIG holders will be frozen till June 21st, 2022 UTC+8, and cannot be circulated on the BigONE trading platform or other platforms during this period. Trade cryptos in the “Trade-Mining” section, and get your trading fee rebated in ONEs of the equivalent value. Refer new users to complete registration, pass identity verification (KYC) on BigONE, and start trading in the “Trade-Mining” section. As incentive, you will receive 20% of your referred new user’s trading fee rebate in the form of ONEs. BIG tokens stored on BigONE platform will automatically be airdropped ONEs. Hold ONEs, Share All Platform Trading Fee Everyday at 00:00 UTC+8, BigONE will take a snapshot according to the current ONE balance on the platform. All trading fee occurred on the platform during the past 24 hours will be airdropped to all ONE holders in the form of a number of crypto assets received by the platform. Allocation formula = number of ONE held / total number of ONE released All ONEs are locked until mined, and will be gradually mined through “Trade-Mining” or “Referral-Mining” or “Airdrop to BIG token holders” until 20 billion ONEs are all mined. 【Trade-Mining】 Trade-Mining can only be achieved by trading crypto assets in the “Trade-Mining” section. Every midnight (or 00:00 UTC+8), the platform will calculate all trading fees occurred in the “Trade-mining” section during the last 24 hours (from the previous 00:00 AM to 24:00 PM UTC+8) and unlock equivalent worth of ONEs using the average price of ONE on the same day. On the following day’s 10:00 UTC+8, the trading platform will rebate these unlocked ONEs to users / miners who traded in the “Trade-mining” section in the previous day. 【Referral-Mining】 Referral-mining is the incentive mechanism for the platform’s existing users to invite new users to sign up BigONE. Every midnight (or 00:00 UTC+8), the trading platform will calculate the total trading fee from your referred new users’ tradings on the previous day (from 00:00 AM to 24:00 PM UTC+8) to the equivalent value of ONEs. BigONE will rebate 20% of your referred new user’s trading fee to you in ONE tokens. Such incentive will be given to you on the same day at 10:00 AM UTC+8. Note: The ONEs that are referral-mined are released in addition to the regular trade-mined portion, thus BIG token holders will also receive their equivalent proportion of referral-mined ONEs airdropped. 【Airdrop ONEs to BIG Token Holders】 Every midnight (24:00 PM UTC+8) the platform will take a snapshot of the balance of BIG tokens, and airdrop mined ONEs to BIG holders’ according to the formula: [Previous day’s number of unlocked ONEs in the Community-owned part] / 51 x 49]. However, these ONEs given to BIG holders will be frozen until June 21st, 2022, and cannot be circulated on trading platform during this period, but the platform rebates continue to apply. 【Friendly Tips】 As soon as the new “Trade-mining” rule applies and 100% of BigONE's revenue (trading fee) is rebated to ONE holders gradually, the previous BIG buy back scheme will be terminated, because BIG holders will get airdropped ONEs and receive related rebate and incentives. ONE is a platform token of BigONE and is not traded on other platforms. Please be reminded that crypto assets could be highly volatile with high risks. Any investment decisions should be made with caution.
