Expect attractive APYs for stakers, creating additional incentives to hold and contribute to the platform’s sustainability. Stay tuned! ### **Why Hold $HLO?** With a robust ecosystem of monetization, governance, and utility, $HLO is positioned for long-term growth. Holding or using $HLO opens doors to a range of benefits that enhance your experience and create continuous value. As the above suggests, we have created multiple scenarios and use cases for the use of $HLO. While we continue to expand our ecosystem with more partners, the $HLO utilities will also expand.
