Hooked Protocol (HOOK) is a Web3 gamified social learning platform designed to facilitate the adoption of Web3 technology by providing tailored Learn & Earn products. It addresses three significant challenges to Web3 adoption: lack of user motivation, high barriers to entry, and inadequate Web3 education. The protocol uses an educational approach with gamified learning experiences and incentivization models to encourage users to start their Web3 journey.

1. Gamified Learning:

   • Quiz to Earn: Users can engage in quizzes and earn tokens.
   • Proof of Work and Time (PoWT) Mining Game: Users invest time and effort to earn rewards.
   • Staking and Swapping: Users can store, stake, and swap crypto assets using the Hooked Wallet.

2. Social Referrals:

   • Social Graph Expansion: Users can establish and monetize a new Web3 social graph by sharing invites.

3. Onboarding Solutions for Businesses:

• Integrated Infrastructures: Hooked provides seamless Web3 onboarding solutions for businesses, including one-login with Hooked DID infrastructure, built-in wallet solutions, social graphs, and a user growth engine.

Hooked Protocol uses two tokens: Hooked Gold Token (HGT) and HOOK.

• HOOK Token:
  • Governance: Used for voting decisions in the Hooked ecosystem.
  • Community Event Privileges: Grants access to exclusive events.
  • Exclusive NFT Mints: Used for accessing unique NFTs.
  • Staking Rewards: Rewards users for staking.
  • In-App Purchases: Used as currency for certain in-app purchases.
  • Gas Token: Will be used as a gas token for all economic activities within the Hooked Application Rollup Infrastructure.

• Wild Cash: Hooked Protocol's first DApp, Wild Cash, has over three million monthly active users and serves as a gateway to Web3 resources in emerging markets.
• Future Plans: The protocol aims to expand its market, community, and ecosystem through content and platform enrichment, socialFi innovation, and bilateral economic partnerships to create a self-sustaining flywheel-based ecosystem.

To store Hooked Protocol (HOOK) tokens safely, it is recommended to use "Cold Wallets," which are offline wallets. There are two types of cold wallets:

1. Paper Wallet: This is a simple, offline wallet where you generate public and private keys using a program and print them on paper. The keys are in the form of QR codes that you can scan for future transactions.

2. Hardware Cold Wallet: This is a physical device where you can store your cryptocurrency. Your crypto addresses and keys are kept in a USB drive device, and only the person with the USB drive can access the assets. Hardware cold wallets are preferred by most users, especially for storing large numbers of coins or tokens.
