How to Mine HOTHOT is an integral part of the NEAR ecosystem on Telegram. Through the use of meta-transactions, HOT enables users to conduct real transactions on the blockchain, play blockchain games, and pay for transfers. It is the first token to have functionality mirroring native L1 blockchain tokens. In the future, HOT will be interoperable beyond just the NEAR ecosystem. With the advent of Chain Abstraction in Q2 2024, HOT will be usable for transactions on Ethereum and other Ethereum-compatible networks.
