Huobi Launches $100 Million Lunar New Year Campaign to Support Metaverse Development
LONDON, Jan. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Huobi Global, one of the world's leading digital asset exchanges, today 
announced the official launch of its Lunar New Year campaign, dubbed Prime 
Fest: Tiger Year(https://www.huobi.com/en-us/topic/activity-sf).

Lasting until February 14, 2022, this campaign encourages users to explore 
future possibilities in the metaverse, an expansive network of virtual worlds 
that may incorporate augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D holographic 
avatars, video and other means of communication in the future. To promote the 
development of the metaverse, Huobi is doling out US$100 million in prizes and 
rewards, including access to new metaverse token listings under Primelist(

), high-yielding asset management products under PrimeEarn(

), and special blind box draws under PrimeBox. Huobi will also invite 
participants to register for DIDs (decentralized identifiers), or personalized 
virtual identities in the metaverse; these users will be eligible to win unique 
tiger-themed NFT avatars.

Huobi's DIDs are designed to be users' entry point into the metaverse, 
providing them with an access point between Web2 and Web3. DIDs are widely 
considered a prerequisite for anyone looking to enter the metaverse, not only 
granting user access but also recording and verifying all information and 
activity on blockchains. DIDs offer users security, ownership, and 
interoperability. Huobi's NFT platform launched its own DIDs(

) at the end of 2021 to give select users access to exclusive NFT releases, 
airdrops, and other special benefits.  

"Our emphasis on the metaverse reflects our intentions to provide a more fun 
and unique crypto experience," said Huobi Co-founder Du Jun. "We're not just 
another spot trading exchange. We pride ourselves on our diverse set of 
products and services, and the promotions we run are designed to gamify the 
trading experience and make it more fun."

Huobi has been supporting GameFi and metaverse projects through investments and 
token listings. In September of 2021, Huobi launched a $10 million fund(

) to invest in emerging GameFi projects. The fund has invested in Zuki Moba(

a Vietnam-based community-oriented MOBA Esports Game (Multiplayer Online Battle 
Arena ) and Project SEED(

), a GameFi project utilizing a "Play to Earn" model.

Over the last year, Huobi listed tokens such as Decimated (DIO)(

), a multiplayer online roleplaying game in a dystopian cyberpunk metaverse, 
and ERTHA( https://www.huobi.com/support/en-us/detail/84895100676210 ), a game 
that enables players to explore and investigate a virtual world by specializing 
and increasing the strength of their respective NFTs and countries.
