What Is Hooked Protocol (HOOK)?
Hooked Protocol is the pioneering immersive edutainment network to onramp the next billions of people into Web3. Hooked’s mission is to drive Web3 massive adoption by providing immersive, gamified, and social learning experiences.
Hooked offers a seamless and intuitive onboarding path for both learners and builders through offerings of 3 focuses of their businesses: Infrastructure, Academy & Ecosystem.
As of now Hooked has launched 3 dApps and products: Wild Cash, a Quiz-to-Learn Web3 bootcamp product for elementary learners with over 3 million monthly active users; ToDaMoon, a livestreaming Learn-to-Earn product for preparatory learners with 1,000,000 total competition participation; Hooked Academy Sensei, a Learn with AI-Sensei & exploratory learning product powered by AI technology with over 100,000 registered learners.
Hooked is also developing itself towards substantial development of Web3 onboarding infrastructures to onramp builders, and meanwhile forging powerful partnerships and robust economic vitality within the ecosystem to boost massive adoption.
Hooked tokenomics adopts a segregation strategy by applying a single token (HOOK) oriented structure, reflecting real value and enabling common use case functions, to avoid the scenario where pump and dump schemes happen.
HOOK is the only governance token with liquidity in the ecosystem, designed to reflect the value that flows across the Hooked platform with limited supply and scheduled emission scheme. HOOK’s long term value is tied with the confidence people hold for the project, and the supply of HOOK is fixed and designed to be deflationary.
HOOK token utilities are mostly built in for community governance, gas tokens for platform on-chain activities, staking incentives as holding rewards, social elements demonstrations with status signaling and individuality, and for more long-range objectives, valuable innovations contributing to the ecosystem thriving.
