# AirDrop

### **Earn $HPO through the Hipo Gang Airdrop**

Players in Hipo Gang can participate in the $HPO airdrop and earn rewards directly. What sets $HPO apart from other tokens in tap-to-earn (T2E) games is that **$HPO serves as the governance token of the Hipo protocol**.

This means holding $HPO offers more than just in-game rewards. Players can either trade $HPO or hold it to:

* **Earn a share of the protocol's profit**
* **Participate in governance voting**, influencing the future direction of the Hipo ecosystem.

# Hipo Gang Season 1: Airdrop Distribution

<figure><img src="/files/EVMD4x51xvDGKMRaomks" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Overview

Hipo Gang has an Airdrop Pool that will be distributed among players based on three key factors:

1. **League Level** – Higher leagues receive a larger share.
2. **Shells Spent** – Players who spend more shells get a higher multiplier.
3. **Earned Coins** – More earned in-game coins result in a higher share.

### Airdrop Pool Amount

HPO holders will vote to decide the total amount of HPO allocated for the airdrop.

### Step 1: League-Based Allocation

The allocated rewards will be distributed among different leagues as follows:

* **20%** for all players in any league (0-8).
* **10%** for all players in leagues 1-8.
* **10%** for all players in leagues 2-8.
* **10%** for all players in leagues 3-8.
* **10%** for all players in leagues 4-8.
* **10%** for all players in leagues 5-8.
* **10%** for all players in leagues 6-8.
* **10%** for all players in leagues 7-8.

### Step 2: Adjusting Final Coins with Shells Spent

We use **Shells Spent** as a multiplier to adjust a player’s total earned coins.

#### Calculation Example:

* If a player has **1,000,000 earned coins** and spends **10 shells**.
* Total shells spent by all players = **100 shells**.
* Formula: **Final Coins = Earned Coins + (Earned Coins \* (Shells Spent / Total Shells))**.
* **Final Coins = 1,000,000 + (1,000,000 \* (10/100)) = 1,100,000**.

### Step 3: Final Airdrop Distribution

1. **Players are sorted based on their final coins.**
2. **Players are categorized by their league.**
3. **Airdrop rewards are distributed proportionally based on league and final coins.**

This ensures that players who are more active and engage with the game receive a fair share of the airdrop while rewarding high-performing players appropriately.

# Why is the Hipo Gang airdrop the last part of Season One?

Airdropping Hipo Gang rewards later doesn’t mean it’s less valuable—in fact, it’s **quite the opposite**!

Our team’s **primary focus is on Hipo Gang** because we see its huge potential. The main feature of Hipo Gang hasn’t launched yet, and we plan to **release it after the TGE**. This update will be a game-changer, allowing players to earn more coins and enabling us to design a smart and transparent $HPO airdrop specifically for Hipo Gang participants.

We’re also exploring the idea of launching $GANG, a dedicated token for Hipo Gang, with a large portion reserved for players.


# Why are the airdrops happening after the TGE?

As an independent team without pre-sale investors, our goal is to build a **long-term sustainable project with our community**.

Airdrops are a way to reward those who bring value to the project. By timing the airdrops after the TGE, we can ensure that $HPO is distributed transparently and strategically, maximizing its potential for growth.


# Does an increase in $HPO’s price affect the community’s allocation?

Not at all—in fact, we aim to increase it!

We’ve committed 30% of $HPO to the community and are considering adding even more from marketing and treasury resources to reward contributors further.

Our priority is to **release tokens responsibly** to support $HPO’s **price stability** while working on vesting plans to deliver $HPO and $GANG tokens earlier to the community when possible.
