Hipo

Hipo is a Telegram mini app that offers a liquid staking protocol on the TON blockchain. Users can stake their TON tokens directly through the Telegram interface, receiving hTON tokens in return at a 1:1 ratio. These hTON tokens can be used for various DeFi operations within the ecosystem, providing flexibility and liquidity compared to traditional staking methods.

The app is accessible via a Telegram bot, making it convenient for users to manage their staking activities without leaving the messaging platform. Hipo does not require the standard 300,000 TON minimum typically needed for direct staking, allowing broader participation. In addition to staking, Hipo features a mini-game called Hipo Gang, which uses a tap-to-earn mechanic. Players generate in-game coins through clicks, which can be used for $HPO token airdrops and other rewards.

Hipo combines staking and gaming elements to engage users and enhance the staking experience on TON. The integration of DeFi tools and gamification aims to make staking more accessible and interactive for Telegram users.
