What is HECO Chain

Huobi Eco Chain

HECO stands for Huobi ECO Chain which is a high-efficient, open-source Blockchain developed by the popular Huobi Exchange. The whole platform is based on the PoS (Proof-of-Stake) protocol. Its block interval is 3s that supports over 500 TPS (transaction per second).

HECO is fully compatible with EVM programming, which simplifies the process of bridging assets from Ethereum to HECO.

 

 

Huobi Token & HRC-20 Token

$HT (Huobi Token) is the native token of the whole HECO ecosystem.

The token has 18 decimals and exists on both Ethereum and HECO.

In the early phrase of the development, HECO introduces the HRC-20 standard. It corresponds with the ERC-20 standard on Ethereum.

HRC-20 is the foundation for developers to create a wrap-version of mostly any tokens on HECO. It includes the native token HT and Bitcoin.

$HT token plays an important role that ensures the stability and security of the HECO network.

• Pay for transaction fee
• Stake to secure the network and earn reward
• Open governance

 

HECO Bridge

At the time of this article, there is no native bridge for regular users, just yet. HECO Bridge mostly exists for developers by interacting with Smart Contract.

• Bridge Contract on Ethereum: 0xa929022c9107643515f5c777ce9a910f0d1e490c
• Bridge Contract on HECO: 0xa929022c9107643515f5c777ce9a910f0d1e490c

In fact, there is way for users to convert ERC-20 Token to HRC-20 Token is to use multichain.xyz

 

HECO Dapps

In an effort of expanding the native community, Huobi Open Platform has incentivized various Dapps to develop on HECO.

As a result, their community is growing quickly from DeFi to Gaming, NFT, DAO, etc.

Huobi Token Price Prediction

$HT (Huobi Token) is not just the native token of the HECO network. It’s also the native token of the Huobi Exchange.

Huobi Token represents the power of Huobi Exchange, which is the second-largest Cryptocurrency Exchange by volume at the time of this article.

Hence, it’s crucial for Houbi to maintain the performance of this token.

Also, Huobi just introduced the burn feature and Houbi Prime, which lets users participate in IEO events.

In short, from time to time, Huobi Token price will most likely rise up in accordance with the maturity of the exchange.
