AMA Recap

The latest AMA wasn’t about feel-good updates — it was about foundations, direction, and clarity.

We’ve completed the migration to the OFT standard, and now we’re building forward on real infrastructure, long-term strategy, and clear priorities.

Here’s everything that matters.

From Fragmentation to Foundation: Why OFT Matters

The $HAI token is now an Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) — a single canonical asset across all EVM chains. No more bridging fragmentation. No more wrapped tokens. Just one native HAI everywhere.

This means:

• Unified liquidity across chains and access to the new
• Seamless listings and DeFi integrations
• Omnichain growth without future migrations
• Full support by LayerZero and SafeSwap

This new architecture provides the foundation for everything ahead: staking, Hacken Rounds, DYOR certification, and broader ecosystem expansion.

As we prepare to activate integrations and reach new users, we want to hear from you. Where should $HAI go next? Which chains, tools, or ecosystems do you actively use? Which DeFi protocols or platforms should we explore first?

Your input can help shape our omnichain rollout — share your thoughts and let’s build forward together.

HES Round 2 — Not Planned, But Possible

The “security” initiative is real — a completely different type of asset that reflects an ownership stake in the HAI Group, and HES holders have already won by getting the best early terms.

No second round is planned for now. But if the community shows strong demand, a limited HES Round 2 may be considered. Pricing will reflect the updated company valuation.

Important note: There will be no equity farming, legally and strategically, we’re focused on value-aligned long-term participants.

Expansion Plans & Franchise Opportunities

At the BGA Summit, we teased the next evolution: HAI Group — a federation-style model beyond just Hacken.

This structure will open the door to:

• Regional security service franchises
• Expansion into new verticals
• Access and permissions powered by $HAI

A major statement is coming, and it will revolve fully around $HAI.

On Burns, Buybacks, and Long-Term Value

Let’s be clear — burning is nonsense, often pushed by those looking to exit.

Short-term burn = short-term spike, but it does nothing for long-term value.

The treasury is a strategic asset. It exists for real use cases, including potential partnerships, ecosystem growth, and even project or token mergers. Reducing it arbitrarily would limit our ability to act when it matters most.

The truth is, the price upsets us more than it upsets you. Because price is a reflection of your confidence in the project, and we take that seriously. We’re confident in what we’re doing and what we’re building. If you’re not, that’s okay. You’re free to exit at your levels.

We’ve already supported the market, over the past few months, we’ve spent close to $200K doing so. But this is a market, and some of you still selling.

We’re focused on long-term fundamentals, especially on what drives value: building the product, expanding R&D, and delivering what comes next.

AI-Based Utility
In contrast to random burns, we are working on a more meaningful form of token utility: AI-based security services, based on Virtuals Agents. A prototype is being developed, a smart contract auditing agent that can be accessed even through platforms like Twitter. Users will pay in $HAI to access its services, introducing a real revenue loop tied directly to product usage.

In this case, we see a valid reason to burn if it’s tied to actual value creation. Burning profit generated by the AI agent is a concept we’re actively considering.

If you support this approach, let us know.

Status of hDAO?

hDAO isn’t active right now — apart from DYOR, there’s no consistent community initiative.The idea of transferring token control has been brought up, but doing so only makes sense when there’s something tangible to govern.

The original goal of hDAO was to enable productive self-governance, and that can still happen — if there’s renewed energy and direction from the community.

DYOR + Trust Army = The Growth Engine

DYOR will be one of the driving forces in the next phase. Work has already started on a new platform, which will be fully utilized

• Research leaderboards
• Contributor Benefits & Promotions
• Scalable infrastructure for researchers

About Listings
Bitpanda and Whitebit listings didn’t meet expectations. They were technical steps aimed at increasing visibility, attracting new holders, and stimulating trading activity around $HAI. We invested heavily, both in resources and top-tier marketing packages to make those launches successful.

But the reality is, there’s been little to no organic trading. It’s unclear whether some participants came purely for speculative opportunities and then lost interest, or whether expectations weren’t met and they moved on.

This was a learning experience and an expensive one. Going forward, we are no longer pursuing listings unless they make sense strategically and align with the stage we’re in. Only Tier 1 exchanges are under consideration.

With that said, market conditions don’t alter our goals — they just shape how we reach them.

Road to $1B — Still On

The market today is driven by speculation and liquidity is harder to capture, and attention doesn’t stick unless it’s tied to real fundamentals. That’s why our approach has shifted: we’re not chasing short-term volume or hype. We’re focused on real product, real token utilities and even on other type of token — security as an option, and mechanisms that reward long-term holders.

The goal remains the same. The road to $1B is still active, and the only way forward is through infrastructure, utility, and fundamentals.

Final Note
This AMA wasn’t about short-term performance. It was about committing to long-term fundamentals. With OFT in place and new mechanics, the next chapter isn’t about waiting. The foundation is ready. Now it’s time to build on it.
