First, a Heartfelt Thank You…

Hello, Hopers fans! As you all know, we have been hard at work on the new hopers.io platform which was revealed during our last Twitter space that attracted a relevant number of listeners from our community (find the recording here). During the Space we revealed the launch of the world’s first Interchain IBC NFT Marketplace and Launchpad designed to deliver more value to the $HOPE token holders and to the NFT Hope Galaxy holders.

On Hopers.io the DAO governs and earns rewards through staking the $HOPE Token with a community-driven rev-share model (the exact percentage will be shared in the near future). At the moment the platform is live and you can already trade your mint passes. Not only that here is a list of all the perks that come with it:

• As of now you can already list the Hope Galaxy NFT mint passes and trade them with payments accepted in $JUNO and $HOPE.
• From the first trade, the rewards will be collected for the HOPE DAO active stakers and will be distributed once we have finalized in detail next week the reward system. In this process, we will be taking several snapshots in different periods to ensure that everyone gets their own reward.
• Hope stakers will have several other perks and advantages over the rest as they will have the chance to get whitelisted for future projects that will launch on our marketplace, be eligible for airdrops, and much more…
• The HOPE DAO through proposals done by creators and NFT projects will decide through a vote to assign the blue badge verification collection to our marketplace or not.
• The Hope Galaxy NFT stakers will access the incentivized program of 40% from all the transaction creator fees from this collection and all the future Hope Galaxy NFT ones. On top of that, those who hold the NFT from the first Hope Collection will have different advantages compared to the rest which will be revealed in the near future.

But That’s Not All — Announcing the Hopers Launchpad!

Not only the NFT marketplace but we launched also the Hopers Launchpad in which other creators and NFT projects can present to the community their future NFT drop.

Here projects can create and launch their own IBC NFT project with the power of the Hopers community. It also requires them to make a proposal to the $HOPE DAO governance to get the support and the verified badge by the Hopers community.

This is just the beginning of a long-term project. Updates and improvements will be done on a daily basis in which one of them will be improving the UI of the platform and making sure that everything is functional. Next, we are going to add more features to the marketplace itself with perks like sourcing based on price, date, etc…
