As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the **Halo Influencer Badge (HIB)** system, we’re introducing a **new model** that makes it easier for influencers to onboard, brings more competition to the leagues, and creates stronger incentives for high-performing HIB holders.

**🔥 Onboarding: A More Open System**
-------------------------------------

To streamline the onboarding process, we’re removing the official review requirement. Instead, influencers who meet the following criteria can **immediately launch their own HIBs:**

✅ **HMP Level 5 or 6**

✅ **Stake 20,000 $HLO**

✅ **Invite 5 valid new users to Halo**

Each **Epoch** will see a maximum of **10 new HIB launches**, prioritized by the **amount of $HLO staked**. The higher the staked amount, the earlier the HIB launch.

**🎁 New Reward Structure: Compete & Earn More**
------------------------------------------------

The **top 30% of leagues** (ranked by **Social Score**) will qualify for **exclusive rewards** each Epoch.

📌 **Reward Calculation Formula:**

💰 _Total HIB HLO Reward Pool x (League Social Score / Total Social Score of Rewarded Leagues)_

This ensures that leagues with high engagement and strong community participation receive **greater rewards**, creating a **performance-driven system**.

**⛔ Delisting Criteria: Only the Strongest Survive**
----------------------------------------------------

To maintain a high standard for the HIB ecosystem, leagues that fail to maintain engagement will be **delisted** if they rank in the **bottom 10%** (based on Social Score) for **two consecutive Epochs**.

📌 **Impact of Delisting:**

🚫 Holders of delisted HIBs will **no longer receive daily XP rewards**.

This ensures that only **active and engaged leagues** continue to benefit from the ecosystem, while making space for new, high-performing influencers.

With this **new HIB system**, we’re creating a **more dynamic**, **competitive**, and **reward-driven** environment that aligns with our vision for **SocialFi’s next evolution**.

Let’s make **Epoch 2 even bigger!** 🚀💚
