From Hyperbet's locking action, see why the @virtuals_io ecosystem team is betting on @reppo's curation layer. A clear signal is: many leading teams are starting to increase their positions and stake in the data curation protocol Reppo. Hyperbet's actions are quite typical. Their entry method almost writes "serious" on the surface: - Maximum lock: Lock 10k $REPPO, lease term two years, directly go for Max lock. - Market buy: Secondary market purchase of 80k–100k $REPPO as seed funding, while also activating the Subnet. Breaking down the reasons into three points 👇 Basically, it's the hardest variable in Reppo's income flywheel. 1) Non-inflationary logic Reppo's income resembles the business itself: prediction market fees, API access fees. For Agent teams, whether the underlying revenue structure can be self-consistent in the long term is more critical than short-term narratives, after all, agents need to operate continuously and cannot rely on subsidies to survive. 2) Quality signal Reppo has solidified the selection mechanism with "staking + signal voting": if you believe certain data is worth being used by more people, you must express your stance with chips and also bear the cost of judgment errors. Now with more than five ecosystem teams coming in, they are essentially building their own data moats for their respective subnets, holding the standards and entry points in their hands. 3) Capital efficiency and filtering mechanism For a Subnet to run, it must first buy tokens and then lock them up; real money can earn a seat. This design naturally filters out speculators and ties the token value more closely to the performance of the subnet: if the subnet performs well, the value has support; if not, the locking costs will force the team back to execution itself. My intuitive feeling @virtuals_io's Agent has reached the next stage, where the competition is no longer about "whether there is a model," but about who can stably obtain, filter, and settle high-quality data. Reppo's non-inflationary flywheel just fills this gap. What’s even more noteworthy is: when multiple teams simultaneously choose "buy + lock," compressing the circulating supply is just the surface. The deeper competition is actually about seizing a channel. Whoever defines high-quality data is more likely to define the competitive landscape for the next round of Agents.
