👇 Let’s dive in
Q: Is HAPI using freemium or loss-leading models to grow?
A: Not exactly. Our KYT product is revenue-positive and delivers the best price on the market. But revenue ≠ profit — ops are still expensive. That’s why we’re expanding our product line.
⸻
Q: Do you still do hack investigations? What’s HAPI Labs up to?
A: Manual investigations were cut due to high costs. HAPI Labs now focuses on KYT infrastructure. It’s semi-self-sufficient and consistently updated by our team and data providers.
⸻
Q: What happened to influencer marketing? Will there be more during this bull?
A: We tried it. Didn’t work. Right now, memecoins dominate attention and DeFi chains underperform. We’ll relaunch campaigns only when timing makes sense.
⸻
Q: Why does it feel like Dona Mara is gone? Has HAPI lost direction?
A: Dona was always a mascot. HAPI isn’t one product anymore — it’s a full ecosystem. We’ve diversified to survive & evolve. That is the direction.
⸻
Q: What’s up with the burning mechanism you teased before?
A: Still in development. We don’t want a rushed or harmful burn mechanic. When it’s ready, it’ll be properly designed and communicated.
⸻
Q: Are you doing anything to educate the new wave of airdrop users?
A: Yep. Our product suite now includes both B2B tools & user-centered solutions like HAPI Score. Some experiments flopped (e.g. Scamfari), but HAPI ID/Score proved successful initially.
⸻
Q: Why didn’t Score token work out?
A: We messed up the messaging. People expected utility too early. Score was meant as a bonus reward, not a utility token (yet). We’re working on fixing this.
⸻
Q: Some HAPI ecosystem products feel abandoned. What’s paused right now?
A: True. Diversification stretched us thin. HAPI Snap was dropped due to low interest in MetaMask Snaps. We now prioritize what brings actual value.
⸻
Q: What will you do to regain community trust and bring in new investors?
A: Focus on core revenue (KYT), better utility for products, more transparency, and no hype-driven drops. Timing and fundamentals matter now.
⸻
Q: Why are other projects not using HAPI Score in airdrops/contests?
A: DeFi user decline hit demand for anti-Sybil tools. We’ll double down on B2B outreach and integrations that need lightweight KYC/trust layers.
⸻
Q: What’s your current development focus?
A: KYT, HAPI Score, and data integrations. Development is very much ongoing — we manually update parts of the protocol weekly.
⸻
Q: You use machine learning in KYT, right? Why not lean into the “AI narrative”?
A: Fair point. We’ve underplayed this. HAPI is an AI/data-driven protocol. Expect more visibility on this in future content and the next whitepaper.
⸻
Q: Is the whitepaper being updated? What’s new in it?
A: Yes. It’ll reflect product expansion, Score/ID role, AI in KYT, new revenue streams, and B2B/user split. Coming after key infra is finalized.
⸻
Q: Are all partners on your site still using HAPI?
A: Most are active, but we’ll refresh the list soon to remove legacy mentions. KYT remains integrated in several key protocols.
