FAQ

  • Why IHBPS matters?

    Past collapses in the economic model of massive blockchain projects have indicated an IMPLICIT rule — the spirit in the community will be diluted by the influx of insidious speculators, who merely seek to reap profits from risk-free price fluctuations of governance tokens. Suffering from the overloaded rumors & negative, offensive remarks they spread, the general ethos of the community would be vandalized, which would inevitable shift the members’ fixation away from product innovation and ecosystem expansion. That is what DAO members DO NOT expect.

    A Protocol cannot flourish on its own without the community’s efforts. The price increase of the governance token is just a side-effect of a prospering community. All that matters is the fruit of success should be shared by all the contributors rather than a shortcut for those superficial stealers to cash out.
