Hi?

About 2 years into the project, we realised that the brand name has the word ‘Hi’ in it. This, albeit perhaps relatively insignificant, we hope helps add a layer of approachability and openness to our brand. We need to bring usability, ownership and transferability to social media and crypto. This means we also need to build an open community of advocates who believe in what we’re doing, are behind us on the journey, and will contribute to our development and advancements. We are creating the platform to make social media safer and more transparent, whilst also in-building digital currency and bringing in levels of ownership and transactional capability. This ultimately will give more purpose and reason to activity, and emphasise the quality and value elements, which although seemingly overlooked, are the most important elements of effective and worthwhile social media activity. E.g. informative data, art, plans, files, profit.
