Unlike other exchanges, World’s leading exchange Huobi wanted the community to be a part of its decision-making in project listing process. For the same HADAX was introduced.

HADAX is an autonomous digital asset exchange launched by Huobi Global. In HADAX users can select which project to be listed next in the form of Vote. To vote, User can only use Huobi Token(HT), and the digital assets with the highest number of votes will be listed on HADAX.

One more cool feature of voting in HADAX is that you will be able to get free airdrops if the project you vote gets listed. To attract more votes, the competing project sets up an incentive pool. If the project gets listed, all the voters are gifted as per the number vote he cast. The more HT you hold, The more Votes you will be able to caste. Unlike other exchanges, all the HT’s which is locked for voting will be refunded back to the user as well.

In simple terms, you are voting for free and you will be receiving rewards for your votes as well if your voted project gets listed in HADAX.Sounds interesting,

Login to your HADAX account and start voting. If you dont have an account, you can use this link.

Recently In order to enhance user experience as well as to safeguard the user against risks associated with investing in new altcoins, HADAX has introduced slight changes in Voting and Listing process and HADAX 2.0 regime was introduced .

Important changes introduced in HADAX 2.0 regime includes “ Detailed listing of project-centric information in Huobi’s Project Center”, “Delayed release of HT’s over a period of 12 months”, “Introduction of a delisting mechanism in case the project suffers a major setback”.

The listing in HADAX 2.0 is broke down into five layers

The project team must register and verify on “Huobi Automated Listing Platform”, and submit all documents specified by the platform which will be reviewed by HADAX team for legal and technical aspects.

HADAX 2.0 — My Take

I am an Old Fan of HADAX concept introduced by Huobi, which was giving potential projects to be listed for free based on the community voting process. The new HADAX 2.0 Regime made things better. It has shown great improvement in the listing process and made voting more optimized.In HADAX 2.0 a target vote is set and the Project needs to hit the targeted vote in order to qualify. Also unlike the old system where voting was running for few days, as per HADAX 2.0 the voting will last for 1 hour only, which help to reduce manipulation.

But the change I liked the most is the introduction of the delisting process. This helps the listed projects to ensure they perform and deliver. This process also helps to safeguard Investors fund, as non-quality or non-performing projects gets weeded out ensuring investors funds are safe.If you also wants to be the part of future voting process and still don’t have an account, you can use this link to create one. Also do keep in mind to own some Huobi Token as all the voting and free airdrops are based on the amount of HT you own.
