πŸ”₯ 11,250,000 Team HPO Burned β€” Tranches 3–5/12

🀝 Under our updated vesting plan, team HPO unlocks over 48 months. To keep Hipo aligned with the community and push toward greater decentralization, we committed to burning 90% of all team tokens unlocked during the first year.

βœ… Today, tranches 3 to 5 (out of 48) were unlocked, and 90% of them β€” 11,250,000 HPO β€” has been burned.

🌟 We’ll continue this process for all remaining tranches within the first 12 months.

πŸ“š Oracles Explained: How Blockchains Access Real-World Data

🍿 Blockchains are deterministic systems β€” but they lack access to real-world information.

Oracles solve this problem.

This video covers:

β€’ The oracle problem in blockchain systems
β€’ How off-chain data is delivered on-chain
β€’ Use cases: DeFi, insurance, prediction markets, and RWAs
β€’ Security challenges and decentralization approaches

Understanding oracles is essential to understanding how modern crypto applications function.

πŸ”₯ Benchmarking TON Staking Yields: A Real-World Comparison

πŸ”Ž Multiple liquid staking protocols compete in TON, but comparing them fairly isn’t always straightforward.

πŸ’Ž At Hipo, we believe performance should be transparent, measurable, and verifiable.

πŸ•΅πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ So we ran an on-chain benchmark across 6 TON protocols, under the same timing and conditions.

πŸ† Result: Hipo delivered the highest return, with a ~6–9% higher APY vs other active protocols.

⚑️ Small differences over a few days β†’ significant gaps when compounded over time.

πŸš€ Update: Benchmarking TON Staking Yields

πŸ”„ We’ve made two updates to our recent benchmark:

Update 1:
We identified the reason why the APY displayed in the Hipo app was slightly lower than the realized on-chain performance. A fix is in progress to ensure more accurate yield representation.

Update 2:
TonWhales withdrawals were completed after 110+ hours, significantly longer than other protocols in this test. The blog post has been updated with the finalized results.

🚨 Hipo Staked TON Has Dropped Below the Validator Requirement

Hipos,

Due to a recent large withdrawal, the total amount of TON staked through Hipo has dropped to around 600K TON.

At the current TON network settings, validators need at least around 1M TON staked to participate in validation rounds. As a result, the Hipo validator can no longer participate in validation and generate staking revenue until the minimum requirement is reached again.

This is an important moment for the Hipo community, and here's how we can help together:

β€’ Invite other TON holders to stake with Hipo and help us reach the minimum amount required for validator participation.

β€’ We are actively reaching out to large TON holders and exploring additional incentives, including HPO, for those willing to support Hipo by staking significant amounts during this critical period.

β€’ We believe Hipo has strong long-term potential within the TON ecosystem. As a permissionless, fully on-chain liquid staking protocol, Hipo helps improve decentralization while offering competitive staking rewards to users.

β€’ Hipo can also create a more competitive validators market within TON. For example, if Telegram, as one of the largest validators in the network, chooses to participate through Hipo with a portion of its validator capacity, it could help increase competition among validators, improve returns for stakers, and further strengthen decentralization across the TON ecosystem.


Our goal is simple: restore validator participation, continue generating rewards, and keep building a stronger and more decentralized TON ecosystem together.

Thank you for your support. πŸ’œ

🌟 Update on Hipo Situation

πŸ™ Regarding the recent drop of Hipo staked TON below the validator requirement, we sincerely thank everyone for their support and willingness to work together as a community to find a solution and bring Hipo back into validation.

As the development team, we are actively exploring options, including reaching out to large stakers and TON whales who may be willing to support the protocol and help restore its validator status.

We will share a clear update with all stakers within the next couple of days.

In the meantime, please note that your staked TON remains safe, and you can withdraw it at any time. We appreciate your patience as we work to determine whether a solution can be found and whether new support can help Hipo return to validation.

πŸ“’ Hipo Validator Update β€” Community Decision

Hipos,

Thank you again for your support, patience, and empathy during this challenging time.

Over the past few days, we have been reaching out to large TON holders to see if they would be willing to help Hipo return to validation. We even sent Pavel Durov a direct message and spent 5,000 Telegram Stars to deliver it, but unfortunately it still hasn't been seen.

We have now received a positive response from one large TON holder who is willing to stake a significant amount of TON through Hipo, allowing the protocol to meet the validator requirement and continue operating.

However, they have one condition:

They do not want to pay any commission to Hipo on their staked TON.

As a result, we see two possible paths forward, and we would like the community to help decide.

Option 1: Accept the Offer

Accept the large holder's stake and allow Hipo to continue participating in validation.

Since this stake would generate no commission revenue for the protocol, we would temporarily adjust the HPO reward distribution related to protocol revenue:

β€’ 50% would be allocated to the large holder as part of the agreement.
β€’ 50% would continue to be distributed among HPO holders as before.

If, in the future, Hipo reaches a level of staking that no longer depends on this support, we can return to the previous profit-sharing model.

Option 2: Decline the Offer

Decline the offer and continue searching for alternative solutions.

However, if Hipo cannot reach the minimum validator requirement of 1M TON in the near future, the protocol may eventually need to cease operations.


We believe Hipo belongs to its community, and this decision should not be made by the team alone.

πŸ’¬ Please share your opinion in the comments and let us know which option you support. If community feedback is divided or inconclusive, we will organize a DAO vote so the final decision can be made transparently by the community.

πŸ’œ Thank you for standing with Hipo.

πŸ—³ DAO Vote: Hipo Validator Recovery Proposal

Hipos,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions regarding the Hipo validator situation and the proposal that could allow Hipo to resume validation operations.

We have seen both support and opposition to the proposal, and each side has raised reasonable arguments and valuable insights about the potential impact of accepting or declining the offer.

Because this decision will affect the future of Hipo, we believe it should be made by the community through a DAO vote.

The vote is now open. Please review the proposal carefully and cast your vote:

βœ… HPO Holders Have Voted to Accept the Offer

Thank you to everyone who participated in the DAO vote and shared their thoughts throughout the discussion.

HPO holders have voted to accept the offer, allowing Hipo to move forward with the proposed arrangement and work toward resuming protocol operations under the terms presented in the proposal.

Our next step is to finalize discussions with the large TON holder and secure their participation in Hipo. If successful, this would allow the protocol to return to validation and resume normal operations.

We will keep the community updated as discussions progress.

Thank you for your continued support and trust during this challenging period.

⚠️ Update for the Hipo Community

Hipos,

This is not the update we hoped to share.

Over the past days, we did everything we could to find a path for Hipo to continue operating as a validator. We reached out to large TON holders, explored different proposals, and searched for every possible solution that could keep the protocol running.

We were even prepared to reduce the protocol commission to 0%, giving up protocol revenue entirely, if that would help bring enough stake back to Hipo. Unfortunately, despite all these efforts, we were unable to secure enough TON to meet the validator requirements and return to validation.

To everyone who kept their TON staked with Hipo during this uncertain period: thank you. Your patience, trust, and support gave us hope and the motivation to keep fighting for a solution until the very end.

At this point, we do not want our community to continue waiting and potentially miss staking rewards elsewhere. If you wish to unstake and move your TON to another staking option, we completely understand and encourage you to do what is best for you.

Hipo started with a simple vision: to make staking more accessible, transparent, and decentralized for the TON ecosystem. Together, we built one of the most recognized staking protocols on TON, launched HPO, created a community that believed in the mission, and proved that a small team with a dedicated community could build something meaningful.

While validator operations may be coming to an end, the story of Hipo is not over yet. We are currently evaluating the future of HPO, Hipo Fund, our remaining commitments, and the best path forward for the community. We will share more details as soon as those plans are finalized.

No matter what comes next, we will always be grateful to everyone who joined us on this journey.

Thank you for believing in Hipo.

The Hipo Team

πŸ”„ Update

Noticed that a proposal to change TON network parameters was approved yesterday. While this does not guarantee anything, it may create a small opportunity for Hipo to return to validation, and we wanted to share this update with the community.

One of the approved changes increased the max_factor from 3 to 4.5. This parameter determines the allowed difference between the largest and smallest validator stake.

β€’ With a max_factor of 3, the validator stake range was approximately 2.7M TON to 900K TON.
β€’ With a max_factor of 4.5, the range becomes approximately 2.7M TON to 600K TON.

Another important factor is that the validator set can include up to 400 validators. In the previous validation round, one validator slot remained empty. If that situation continues, there may be a chance for Hipo to participate again.


Currently, around 500K TON is staked through Hipo. This means that if an additional 100K–200K TON is staked, we may have a chance to rejoin validation. However, this is not guaranteed and will depend on the next election rounds and network conditions.

To give Hipo the best possible chance, we have also made an important change:

βœ… The protocol fee has been reduced to 0%.

For now, all staking rewards will be returned to stakers. We are doing everything we can to keep Hipo alive and explore every possible path back to validation.

πŸš€ Incredible support from the Hipo community

We’ve now reached around 800K TON TVL, and with the new TON network parameters, Hipo’s chance to participate in upcoming validation rounds has significantly improved.

This is a strong step forward, but not the final one. Every additional TON matters.

πŸ”₯ As a reminder, we have set the protocol fee to 0%, which means stakers receive 100% of staking rewards β€” the highest possible rewards in TON staking.

Now, growing TVL together gives Hipo a real chance to not miss future validation opportunities.

πŸŽ‰ Hipo Is Back to Validation

Thanks to the incredible support of the Hipo community, our validator successfully participated in the latest validation round and is once again generating staking rewards.

Just a week ago, Hipo was forced out of validation after our staked TON dropped below the validator requirement. But, today, thanks to the incredible support of the Hipo community, our validator has successfully returned to validation.

A huge thank you to everyone who staked, shared Hipo with others, and supported us during this difficult period. Your support has been truly inspiring.

Hipo is back in validation with an estimated APY of around 18%. However, our work is not finished.

If we want to avoid facing the same situation again, we need to continue growing Hipo's TVL. Every TON staked and every new user introduced to Hipo makes a difference.

To help accelerate growth, we have set the protocol fee to 0%. This means 100% of staking rewards generated by Hipo are now returned to stakers. As a result, Hipo currently offers significantly higher rewards than other staking options in the TON ecosystem.

We will keep this model in place for a period of time and evaluate the next steps together as Hipo grows stronger.

Once Hipo is back on stable ground, we will also launch Hipo Club Season 5 and share more details about the future of HPO.

Thank you for standing with us. The fight is not over, but today is an important victory for the Hipo community.

Following Hipo's successful return to validation and the decision to reduce the protocol fee to 0%, we can now see the actual results:

πŸ”₯ Hipo APY has reached 19.05%

Thanks to the community, Hipo TVL has also grown to 850K TON.

We're in a much stronger position than a week ago, but we still need to grow further to ensure Hipo can consistently participate in future validation rounds.

Every TON staked and every new user joining Hipo makes a difference.

πŸš€ Hipo Club Season 5 Is Now Live!

Season 5 has officially started, and you can continue earning boosted staking rewards in HPO, completing tasks, inviting friends, and collecting XP for future rewards.

As part of our effort to grow Hipo's TVL, we have temporarily reduced the protocol fee to 0%. As a result, Hipo's staking APY has increased to 19.53%, making it one of the highest staking yields available on TON.

You can also invite friends to stake with Hipo using your referral link and earn direct HPO rewards for every successful referral.

Because the protocol fee is currently set to 0%, revenue-sharing rewards are temporarily paused. Once we reach a sustainable TVL and protocol operations become self-sustaining again, we plan to bring revenue sharing back.

This season is all about growing together. Complete tasks, earn XP, invite new stakers, and help strengthen the Hipo ecosystem while earning rewards along the way.
