HTX DAO is on the way.
In early July, HTX DAO officially released the HIP-005 proposal, aiming to establish the "HTX DAO Recommendation Mechanism for Listing and Delisting Assets." The launch of this mechanism marks that HTX DAO has not only completed the construction of its basic governance structure but has also officially entered the "deep governance stage," focusing on the management of the platform's core assets. In this stage, the community will transition from being bystanders to decision-makers, participating in the most value-driven business processes of the exchange, injecting genuine consensus energy into the economic model of $HTX.
From Peripheral Governance to Core Business: The Significance of DAO Participation in Asset Selection
As the core equity asset of HTX DAO, $HTX holders can participate in the governance of the Huobi HTX exchange, while $HTX can gain value support from the platform's trading volume and fee income. According to the official economic model, the Huobi HTX platform will use 50% of its revenue for $HTX buybacks and burns each quarter, directly linking "trading activity" with the "scarcity of $HTX."
In other words: the more quality coins that are listed, the more trading volume is generated, which leads to higher fee income for the platform, thereby promoting the scale of $HTX buybacks and burns. This creates a clear value closed-loop path.
At the forefront of this value chain is the "asset listing and delisting" selection mechanism. By introducing a DAO governance mechanism, community members holding $HTX will have the right to recommend, vote, and discuss, bringing truly quality, popular, and consensus-driven projects to the platform; at the same time, standards can be set to eliminate coins that are "illiquid, high-risk, and non-compliant."
This not only enhances the activity and security of the platform's asset pool but also improves the transparency, fairness, and consensus of the listing process through democratic mechanisms. For the community, this represents a shift from "holding coins equals holding power" to "holding coins equals decision-making" in substantive governance.
Governance Mechanism Design: From Proposal to Voting, Building a Closed-Loop Process
According to the HIP-005 proposal, HTX DAO will adopt a "phased approach with pilot mechanisms prioritized" to gradually establish the "recommendation mechanism for listing and delisting assets," with the community committee as the core governance body.
The governance logic of the entire mechanism covers six major processes: proposal, recommendation, preliminary review, public discussion, voting, and execution:
Project Recommendation and Proposal: Any community member who meets the proposal threshold can submit a new coin recommendation or delisting proposal. Recommendations must include standardized documentation templates, including project background, liquidity, community activity, security assessment, and more.
Committee Preliminary Review: The DAO committee will conduct a preliminary screening to ensure that the project is compliant, safe, and has a certain level of liquidity and community interest.
Public Discussion Period: All projects that pass the preliminary review will be publicly released for community members to raise questions, support, or provide supplementary materials, enhancing transparency.
$HTX User Voting: Users holding $HTX can participate in voting according to a certain ratio, and the final results will form a recommendation list or a delisting observation list.
Exchange Assessment and Execution: The Huobi HTX platform will make the final judgment based on community results, combined with internal risk control models, technical reviews, and compliance requirements.
Subsequent Mechanism Linkage: Including fee incentives, new coin Launchpool, trading competitions, etc., which can be jointly initiated by the DAO and project parties to stimulate market vitality.
The entire mechanism will start with "coin recommendations" and gradually explore scenarios linking "delisting observations" and "asset governance," ultimately moving towards the vision of "DAO-led asset ecosystem construction."
Releasing Governance Dividends: Empowering $HTX Tokens, Activating the Consensus Ecosystem
After the mechanism is implemented, HTX DAO will not only be a governance community but will gradually evolve into an "ecological curator" for optimizing the asset structure of the Huobi HTX platform.
Directly driving the value of $HTX tokens: The more popular new coins are listed, the higher the fee income, the greater the intensity of $HTX burns, and the further enhancement of token scarcity. If recommended projects perform well, they may enter Launchpool, wealth management areas, contracts, and other ecological scenarios in the future, creating a chain reaction.
Incentive value for governance users: If recommended projects are successfully listed and actively traded, recommenders or voters can expect to receive fee refunds, point incentives, and other benefits. Community governance actions will be recorded, and in the future, this will support a "governance credit mechanism" for obtaining Launchpool whitelists, new coin airdrops, etc.
Optimization value for platform asset structure: By combining consensus screening with dual safeguards of platform risk control, the quality of listed coins is improved, reducing issues like "zombie coins" and "honeypots." The DAO will supervise platform behavior in reverse, enhancing the governance transparency and user trust of Huobi HTX in the industry.
In other words, this mechanism will achieve a synergistic flywheel effect among governance rights, trading activity, platform revenue, and token value, initiating a transformation experiment from a centralized platform to a "community co-governance ecosystem."
DAO Enters Deep Waters: Community Governance is Rewriting Exchange Operation Logic
The biggest highlight of HTX DAO's proposal this time is not a specific mechanism itself, but the "paradigm shift in governance" it represents.
In the past, the "listing rights" of exchanges were often highly centralized, and the community could only passively accept the platform's decisions on asset listings and delistings. However, this governance structure is being rewritten. Through the DAO recommendation system, the Huobi HTX platform is returning part of the "entry decision-making power" to the community and endowing $HTX with more practical scenario value.
This is not only an upgrade in governance but also a reconstruction of ecological logic: HTX DAO is becoming part of the platform ecosystem rather than an external appendage. The community's judgment, organizational ability, and voting enthusiasm will determine whether the Huobi HTX platform can truly build a triadic governance structure of "exchange-community-project party."
For the entire industry, this governance path also holds significant experimental value. It demonstrates that DAOs are not only needed in DeFi, NFTs, and blockchain games; centralized exchanges can also introduce DAO mechanisms to enhance transparency, increase user participation, and improve operational efficiency and asset quality.
This also means that DAOs are no longer just an idealistic concept but are becoming the core institutional form with the most practical value and economic incentive mechanisms.
In Conclusion: Let Governance Create Value, Let Consensus Become Power
HIP-005 is not just a governance proposal; it is the beginning of a path to platform consensus.
It encourages every $HTX holder to think: What assets can I promote to be listed with the $HTX tokens I hold, besides voting? Which trading pairs will bring higher fees? Is my voting behavior also empowering my holdings?
In this sense, we look forward to not only an innovation in the listing process but also a profound transformation led by the DAO, connecting platform revenue, asset quality, token value, and governance participation.
The future is here; governance is consensus, and consensus is value.
HTX DAO is on the way.
