The Reserve Fund purchases HUBI from the open market when its price drops below predefined thresholds, ensuring price stability and reinforcing user confidence.
In the first 16 years, buyback prices are pre-scheduled to increase (e.g., from $0.10 to $12.80), providing a stable price floor.

Reserve funds may be used to provide liquidity for exchanges or decentralized trading pools, ensuring smooth market functioning.
2. Ecosystem Growth

Community Programs:
Support for events, campaigns, and educational initiatives that promote HUBI adoption and engagement.
3. User Incentives
Staking Rewards:
A portion of the Reserve Fund will be allocated to incentivize users who stake their HUBI tokens. This mechanism encourages active participation in the network, enhances its security, and promotes decentralized governance.
Rewards can be distributed based on the amount of HUBI staked.
Operational Resilience:
Reserve funds may be used to address unforeseen challenges, such as market crises or infrastructure upgrades, ensuring the ecosystem’s resilience.
