Hedera News: HederaToEarn Brings Over 20M Users On-Chain Through Unified $HTE Rewards Launch

• Hedera’s $HTE token unifies rewards across Web2 apps, onboarding 20M+ users through seamless on-chain incentives.
• HTE enables scalable Web3 growth by linking dApps via shared rewards, boosting user activity, and ecosystem adoption.

HederaToEarn (HTE) is preparing for its official launch on the Hedera network by onboarding three widely used applications, Cashtree, Mars Labs, and Berryfox, into its shared rewards infrastructure. Together, these platforms account for more than 20 million users and signal a major step in Hedera’s push for large-scale, real-world blockchain adoption.

Cashtree, an ad-based rewards app, leads with over 20 million users, while both Mars Labs and the NFT-driven game Berryfox report more than 2 million users each. All three platforms will now integrate $HTE, Hedera’s native rewards token, into their systems to offer seamless and consistent on-chain incentives across use cases.

Each project retains its own native token, but the $HTE token will act as a unifying rewards layer that links user engagement across the ecosystem. The model aims to create instant utility for users while allowing developers to maintain brand identity and custom token logic.

$HTE Unifies Rewards While Enhancing User Onboarding

The $HTE system is designed to serve as the core engine behind user rewards across all integrated apps. In Cashtree’s case, users are rewarded for viewing advertisements, with payouts now aligned to Hedera’s network using $HTE.

Mars Labs provides educational and mobile tools and can now distribute tokenized incentives to encourage user activity and retention.

Berryfox presents a distinct structure, an idle play-to-earn game built on the Hedera mainnet that enables players to earn $HTE through gameplay, idle mining, and in-game achievements. The game integrates the Blade Wallet SDK to support easy Web3 access, even for users with no prior blockchain experience.

These platforms are united by their shared reliance on Hedera’s high-performance architecture. With millions of expected microtransactions daily, HTE’s ecosystem demands a blockchain network that offers low, predictable fees and consistent throughput. Hedera’s hashgraph consensus mechanism delivers that infrastructure, ensuring real-time settlement without network congestion or rising costs.

Hedera Positions for Network Effect Through On-Chain Incentives

The Hedera Foundation views HTE as a catalyst for self-sustaining ecosystem growth. As users engage with partner platforms and earn $HTE, network activity grows organically. This on-chain traction then attracts more decentralized applications (dApps), further expanding Hedera’s reach and reinforcing its use in real-world scenarios.

The rewards system acts as both an economic incentive and an onboarding tool. New users enter through familiar applications and are introduced to blockchain mechanics via rewards. The process removes technical barriers and encourages further exploration of Hedera-based tools and services.

Each interaction strengthens the network’s position. As more apps join HTE, existing users gain more opportunities to use their earned tokens, while new audiences are brought in through strategic partnerships. The model supports long-term value creation across the entire Hedera ecosystem.

HTE Sets Foundation for Scalable Web3 Adoption

The initiative demonstrates how blockchain networks can scale by integrating existing Web2 platforms into a unified Web3 environment. Instead of building isolated apps from scratch, HTE brings established user bases onto Hedera using token rewards as a bridge.

The $HTE framework does not compete with individual project tokens but adds a shared layer of value that promotes collaboration. Developers benefit from interoperability and a broader user pool, while users enjoy greater flexibility and token utility across apps.

With additional partners expected to join the HTE ecosystem in the coming months, Hedera is laying the groundwork for continued adoption through proven engagement models. The focus remains on delivering practical value, low-friction onboarding, and reliable infrastructure at scale.
