Understanding Huobi Airdrop Rules: Users Who Firmly Supported Huobi in 2023 Benefit the Most
Loyal Huobi users will also receive three-tiered rocket value bonuses of 2%, 5%, and 10%.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsOn December 14, 20 days after Sun Brother announced an epic airdrop for Huobi and P-network users, Huobi officially released the airdrop rules amid market anticipation. This article outlines the following six key points.
1. First Snapshot Time: December 31, 2023, 00:00 (UTC+8)
2. First Airdrop Date: January 31, 2024
3. Snapshots Based on Rocket Value
Consistent with prior market expectations, the airdrop will be distributed according to users' Rocket Value. Rocket Value is calculated as the 30-day average asset balance of a user on Huobi, converted into USDT. Users who have participated in Huobi’s voting for new listings should already be familiar with this metric.
Rocket Value is determined by summing up daily asset balances over the past 30 days and dividing the total by 30. 1 USDT equals 1 Rocket Value. In other words, the more assets you hold on Huobi, the higher your Rocket Value. Additionally, holding certain tokens grants multiplier effects—TRX and HT offer a 3x multiplier, while BTC and ETH offer a 1.2x multiplier. According to the rules, holding TRX and HT is the most efficient way to accumulate Rocket Value.
4. Airdrop Has a 12-Month Vesting Period
The airdrop rewards will be distributed at the end of each month over a 12-month locked period, which is standard practice. However, there is a special unlocking rule to note. According to the rules, the Rocket Value from subsequent snapshots must not fall below the value recorded during the first snapshot on December 31, 2023. If it does, the airdrop rewards will be proportionally reduced.
For example, if your Rocket Value was 1,000 during the first snapshot and the distribution ratio is 1:12, you would be eligible to receive 12,000 airdrop tokens—1,000 per month. But if your Rocket Value drops to 500 by the next snapshot on January 31, 2024, only 500 tokens will be unlocked that month, and the remaining amount will no longer be distributed. If your Rocket Value remains above 1,000, then the full 1,000 tokens will be unlocked. A snapshot will be taken at the end of every month, and rewards will be disbursed accordingly based on these snapshots.
Objectively speaking, this mechanism is primarily designed to deter bounty hunters. Without such a rule, users could deposit large amounts of assets before the snapshot and withdraw them afterward, gaining free airdrop benefits without providing long-term value to Huobi. By requiring monthly snapshots for unlocking, Huobi ensures that users maintain their assets on the platform for at least 12 months.
During the 12-month airdrop vesting period, users can only receive full airdrop rewards if their monthly snapshot Rocket Value stays at or above the initial snapshot level. This incentivizes continued engagement and cooperation with Huobi over the coming year.
5. Airdrop Project Details and Distribution Ratio Not Yet Announced
The airdrop ratio (how many tokens one Rocket Value entitles a user to) and detailed project specifications will be announced prior to the actual airdrop.
6. Loyal Users Receive Rocket Value Bonuses
Loyal Huobi users will receive additional Rocket Value bonuses in three tiers: 2%, 5%, or 10%. Key factors considered include account registration duration, number of trading days, cumulative trading volume, maker order trading volume, and number of referrals. The longer the registration period, the more trading days, the higher the trading volume, and the greater the number of referrals, the larger the bonus. In short, users who contributed more to Huobi in 2023 will receive higher bonuses. Specifically:
New users still have the opportunity to claim the airdrop, though they lack the registration-time bonus enjoyed by long-standing users (whether there are exclusive benefits for new users has not yet been clarified). Bonuses related to trading days, trading volume, and referrals can still be accumulated within the half-month period before the first snapshot. Starting participation right after Sun Brother’s airdrop announcement would be perfectly timed. Even after Huobi officially published the airdrop rules, there remains a half-month window to build up Rocket Value. Therefore, users aiming to qualify for the airdrop should act quickly to accumulate value.
Overall, Huobi's newly announced airdrop rules clearly favor loyal platform users. Especially since Sun Brother joined Huobi, those who chose to support the exchange have received the greatest recognition. This aligns with the standard approach of major projects—allocating the largest rewards to genuinely loyal users.
