Huobi Chain carries Huobi Group’s vision of the Blockchain development. Huobi Group looks forward to building an autonomous financing public blockchain, Huobi Chain, which represents the most advanced technology in blockchain industry. Huobi Group has full confidence in Huobi Chain and commits to support the project with all possible resources.

Huobi Group always follows the spirit of blockchain and listens to the diverse voices in the community. In order to build a better public blockchain platform, Huobi Group would love to hear from community users through HT voting (Defined below) and communicate the community’s will to the developers.

Huobi Chain Superhero Championship Program will be another step at allowing the community to self-operate. Huobi Group always believes in community-based operations and its ability to formulate reasonable rules. The blockchain spirit is not just a slogan or concept. It will eventually be implemented in rulemaking through community voting.

After the publication of our draft rules, we continuously received advices from Huobi global users. As promised, Huobi will award 1~5 HT to users submitting advices; users whose advices deemed constructive by the Huobi Chain division will be further awarded with no more than 100 HT. We welcome users to keep sending their advices to chain@huobi.com; the successful development of Huobi Chain requires participation of our community members.
