⚠️ 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
