How Does Hipo Work?

1. Stake GRAM
   Deposit your GRAM into Hipo to start earning staking rewards on TON — see the current rate.
2. Get Liquid hGRAM
   Receive hGRAM, a liquid token that represents your staked GRAM. Its value increases as staking rewards accumulate, and you can use it across DeFi.
3. Unstake When You Want
   Turn your hGRAM back into GRAM through Hipo. Full settles after the current validation round ends and gives the better rate; Instant pays out immediately when Hipo holds enough free GRAM. Either way you receive your stake plus the rewards it earned.

Note

💡 Your staked GRAM is delegated to validators through the Hipo smart contract to participate in validation rounds and generate staking rewards.

Staking, step by step

1. Connect Your Wallet: Start by connecting your wallet to the Hipo App.
2. Enter Amount to Stake: choose how much GRAM you want to stake. There is no minimum — any amount works, even a fraction of a GRAM.
3. Confirm Transaction: Once you’ve entered the amount, confirm the transaction on your wallet. Your GRAM will be staked, and you’ll instantly receive Hipo Staked GRAM (hGRAM) tokens representing your staked amount, including staking rewards.
