Frequently Asked Questions

Hipo lets you stake GRAM on TON and still keep your money flexible.

When you stake GRAM with Hipo, you receive hGRAM in return. hGRAM represents your staked GRAM, but you can still use it, hold it, or trade it while your GRAM continues earning staking rewards.

Normally, when you stake crypto, your tokens are locked and harder to use.

Liquid staking solves this by giving you a new token while your GRAM is staked. Hipo gives you hGRAM. Over time, hGRAM becomes more valuable and you can redeem it for your GRAM plus rewards. So when you unstake, you may receive more GRAM than you originally staked.

When you stake GRAM with Hipo, Hipo gives you hGRAM in return.

Think of hGRAM as a receipt for your staked GRAM. While your GRAM is earning staking rewards, you can hold it, use it, or trade it.

Over time, hGRAM is designed to become redeemable for more GRAM as rewards are added.

Behind the scenes, Hipo combines users’ staked GRAM and delegates it to TON validators. These validators help secure the network and generate staking rewards, which are reflected in the value of hGRAM over time.

Hipo lets you earn staking rewards on your GRAM while still keeping your funds flexible.

When you stake GRAM, you receive hGRAM. You can hold it, use, or trade hGRAM while your staked GRAM continues earning rewards.

Key benefits:

• Earn staking rewards without fully locking your GRAM.
• Keep flexibility through hGRAM.
• Unstake when you want to get GRAM back.
• Use a transparent, on-chain staking system.
• Hipo is built with open-source smart contracts and security-focused infrastructure.

Behind the scenes, Hipo uses a permissionless validator marketplace. Validators can participate openly and the system helps direct stake toward competitive validators.

This helps avoid relying on one centralized validator and supports decentralization in the TON ecosystem.

Yes. Hipo works through smart contracts on-chain. You connect your own wallet, stake GRAM through Hipo, and receive hGRAM in return. Staking and unstaking are handled transparently by smart contracts.

Connect your wallet, enter how muchf GRAM you want to stake, and confirm the transaction. After staking, you will receive hGRAM in your wallet.

There is no fixed minimum amount from Hipo.

You only need enough GRAM to cover the amount you want to stake plus small TON network transaction fee.

Not instantly. Your rewards start after your staked GRAM becomes active in the staking process. After that, rewards are automatically reflected in the value of your hGRAM.

APY means the estimated yearly reward rate.

Hipo’s APY can change over time depending on staking rewards and TON network conditions. You can always see the current APY inside the Hipo app or Hipo’s website.

No. APY is not fixed. Staking rewards can go up or down depending on the TON network and validator performance.

You do not receive separate reward payments. Instead, rewards are automatically included in the value of hGRAM. Over time, your hGRAM is designed to become redeemable for more GRAM.

No. There is nothing to claim manually. Rewards are automatically reflected in the value of hGRAM. Over time, your hGRAM is designed to become redeemable for mroe GRAM.

Yes. You can stake more GRAM at any time. When you add more GRAM, you receive more hGRAM in return.

Yes. Connect a supported TON wallet, choose how much GRAM you want to stake, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. After the transaction is complete, you receive hGRAM back in your wallet.

hGRAM is the token you receive when you stake GRAM with Hipo. Think of hGRAM as a receipt for yoru staked GRAM. It shows how much of the staking pool belongs to you.

You receive hGRAM so your staked GRAM can stay useful. While your GRAM is earning staking rewards, you can still hold, send, or use hGRAM in supprted TON apps.

Yes. but you do not receive separate reward payments. Instead, staking rewards are reflecting in the value of hGRAM. Ver time, hGRAM is designed to become redeemable for more GRAM as rewards are added.

Yes. You can send hGRAM to another wallet. You may also be able to trade it in supported TON apps, depending on where hGRAM is available.

Yes, where supported. Some TON DeFi apps may allow you to use hGRAM for things like trading or liquidity. Availability depends on each app, so always check whether hGRAM is supported before using it.

hGRAM has a value compared to GRAM. As staking rewards are added, 1 hGRAM is designed to become redeemable for more GRAM over time.

No. At the beginning, hGRAM may be close to 1 GRAM. Over time, as staking rewards are earned, 1 hGRAM can become redeemable for mroe than 1 GRAM.

Yes, if hGRAM is supported by an exchange, swap app, or liquidity pool. You can also unstake hGRAM through Hipo to receive GRAM back.

To unstake, open Hipo and choose how much hGRAM you want to redeem. After unstaking process is complete, you receive GRAM back in your wallet.

Standard unstaking is not always instant. It depends on TON staking cycle and network conditions, so there may be a waiting period before your GRAM is returned.

Yes, when enough liquidity is available. Instant unstaking lets you receive GRAM faster, without waiting for the full standard unstaking process.

Instant unstaking requires available GRAM liquidity. During periods of high demand, instant unstaking may not be available, and you may need to use standard unstaking instead.

Rewards continue until your unstaking request is complete. Once the unstaking process is complete and your GRAM is returned, that GRAM is no longer earning sstaking rewards through Hipo.

Any fees are shown in the app before you confirm. You may also need to pay a small TON network transaction fee.

Hipo is built to be transparent and security-focused. Staking and unstaking happen through on-chain smart contracts, so there process can be verified on TON Blockchain.

Hipo publishes security audits and related reports when available.

DeFi is not risk-free. Possible risks include smart contract bugs, validator performance issues, limited liquidity for instant unstaking, changes in staking rewards, and broader TON network issues.

Hipo is designed with security in mind, but no DeFi or staking protocol is completely risk-free. Possible risks include smart contract bugs, TON network issues, validator performance problems, or limited liquidity for instant unstaking.

You can verify Hipo transactions on TON blockchain explorers. This means staking, unstaking, and other on-chain actions can be checked publicly on TON blockchain.

Validators are TON network participants that help secure the network and generate staking rewards.

Behind the scenes, Hipo uses an on-chain validator marketplace. Eligible validators can compete to receive staked GRAM by offering competitive reward terms.

This helps make validator selection more transparent and less dependent on a manually chosen validator list.

Yes, if they meet Hipo’s protocol requirements.

Eligible validators can participate through Hipo’s smart contracts without needing manual approval from a centralized team.

Some staking systems rely on a fixed set of validators chosen by the protocol team.

Hipo uses a permissionless validator marketplace instead. This means validator selection happens more transparently on-chain, and validators can compete for stake allocation.

This can help support decentralization in the TON ecosystem.

Validators can apply to receive staked GRAM through Hipo’s on-chain system.

They compete by offering reward terms and providing collateral. Hipo then automatically directs stake toward competitive validators during each staking round.

This helps make validator selection more transparent and less dependent on manual decisions.

Because validators compete to receive stake.

When validators compete, Hipo can direct stake toward validators offering strong reward terms while still requiring them to provide collateral.

This helps create a more open and market-based staking system.

Collateral is extra value that validators commit when they participate.

It helps protect stakers if a validator performs poorly or fails to meet expected performance.

If a validator underperforms, their collateral may be used according to Hipo’s protocol rules.

This helps protect stakers and encourages validators to operate reliably.

HPO is the governance and revenue-sharing token of the Hipo ecosystem.

HPO holders can participate in governance, receive ecosystem incentives, and earn protocol revenue through Hipo Club.

Yes. Hipo protocol revenue is distributed to HPO holders through Hipo Club according to the protocol's tokenomics and governance rules.

Hipo Club is Hipo's community rewards program that distributes HPO and protocol-generated revenue to long-term ecosystem participants and HPO holders.

Protocol revenue is generated from Hipo's staking operations and ecosystem services. A portion of this revenue is distributed to HPO holders through Hipo Club.

HPO aligns the interests of users, stakers, validators, and the broader Hipo ecosystem by combining governance rights with participation in protocol growth.

GRAM staking means using your GRAM to help support the TON network and earn staking rewards.

Behind the scenes, staked GRAM is used by validators, which are network participants that help keep TON running securely.

With regular staking, your tokens may be locked while they earn rewards.

With liquid staking, you receive another token while your GRAM is staked. In Hipo, that token is hGRAM.

You can hold, send, or use hGRAM in supported TON apps while your staked GRAM continues earning rewards.

A liquid staking token is a token you receive after staking.

In Hipo, hGRAM represents your staked GRAM. It also reflects the staking rewards earned over time.

Yes, where supported.

Liquid staking lets your GRAM keep earning staking rewards while you use hGRAM in supported TON DeFi apps.

Using hGRAM in DeFi may involve extra risks, so always check how each app works before using it.

APY means the estimated yearly reward rate.

Staking APY can change over time. It may depend on TON network rewards, validator performance, how much GRAM is being staked, and Hipo’s protocol rules.

As network conditions and staking participation change, staking rewards naturally fluctuate.

Liquid staking provides additional flexibility by allowing users to maintain liquidity while earning rewards.

Yes. Both individual users and institutions can use Hipo to access liquid staking on TON.

Hipo uses a permissionless validator marketplace where validators compete for stake allocation. This competitive mechanism helps secure attractive reward rates for stakers while supporting decentralization and efficient validator participation.

Any applicable protocol fees are transparently displayed within the app.

Protocol fees, if any, are disclosed before staking or unstaking operations.

Current fees are available directly within the Hipo application.

Hipo supports major TON wallets compatible with the protocol.

Wait for network confirmation and check the transaction status through your wallet or a TON explorer.

You can contact the community and team through Hipo's official support channels.
