DUO Token Update October 24 2025 DUO STAKER MUST READ
Welcome to the latest DUO update post. We hope you all had a great weekend so far, we are looking to expand our offering, right now our whole model is dependent and reliant on the inflation model of hive for us to distribute curation and divs, needless to say that is not a long term sustainable approach, also it is wise to not have all your eggs in one basket, now some of our stakers brough up question about maybe going cross-chain this is a wonderful idea however if all we have is our current single revenue stream it makes no sense.
However if we expand our offering then this would not only make DUO more stable and attractive but also give us a better reason to be a cross-chain operation.
We are looking to provide collateralized loans as a service, this is a long proven working business model however there is one roadblock, Getting funding for these loans, We are thinking of offsetting some of our current operation profits (curation and author rewards into funds for these loans.
But as you all know we value the opinions or our stakers so we want to see what you all say about that, basically it's taking less now to get more in the future.
Beside that there is a lot more, we are also exploring ways to make DUO decentralized and not dependent on us (the core team) that way DUO could be an investment one could potentially hand down to their children!
And as always we are open to suggestion if you all have any ideas on how we can take things to the next level be sure to let us know!

HP/DUO Ratio
As @bitcoinman mentioned before the ratio is slowly going up, our tip bot is fairly conservative also we grow HP from our curation and posting activity, however not counting these 2 to make the math simple our ratio should be around this at the end of the tranches sales
Total DUO sold: 200,000
Total HP received: 300,000
Final HP/DUO ratio at end of sale: 1.5
Numbers don't lie.
Current 0.8881
Last 0.8583

Important
DUO stakers are free to unstake as they please however we ask that when you do so you notify the DUO team, we set the curation up manually and letting us know keeps things fair for the other stakers.
Failure to do so will result in a 50% drop on curation on the remaining stake (Assuming its over 200 after the unstake as a reminder 200 is our minimum for curation) for a period of 1 week, there is no penalty for unstaking, only if it's done without notification to the DUO team.
DUO Voting Trail
We have set up a DUO token voting trail so that anyone who would like to help support our DUO stakers can join the trail at hive.vote, and search for duo-curator and follow! It's simple and we really appreciate all of your support!
If you need assistance joining the voting trail don't hesitate to reach out the the team for help
HP Growth
We are now sitting at 49,335.307 HP, thanks to all early investors we've grown faster than we had envisioned!
Voting weight target
We have targeted voting weights however they may be adjusted to ensure that @duo-curator is maintaining healthy mana levels.
Voting weights targets
| DUO staked | Vote weight target |
|---|---|
| 200 | 10% |
| 300 | 20% |
| 400 | 30% |
| 500 | 40% |
| 600 | 50% |
| 700 | 54% |
| 800 | 62% |
| 900 | 67% |
| 1000 | 72% |
| 1500 | 77% |
| 2000 | 84% |
Manual curation
When the voting mana is running high (above 85%) we have created a queue of our stakers who will receive an increased manual upvote when this is happening. First you must receive a normal vote from the @duo-curator to be eligible for the boost. The boost percentage will be up to 50% of a vote. Once you receive an additional curation your name moves to the bottom of the list so that everyone has a chance to benefit from this. New stakers that buy and stake at least 200 DUO will start at the bottom of the list to be fair.
You can see the current status of the list with this link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ecki9CPbQSOzX0AxSWOTv1DNCs8-WBp5nNWiOTiNyeg/edit?usp=sharing
Remember a minimum of 200 DUO staked is required to be eligible for curation.
DUO tipping bot calls
| DUO stake | DUO tipped | calls per day |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | 0.1 | 1 |
| 1k | 0.2 | 1 |
| 5k | 0.3 | 1 |

Cross-chain is interesting! Diversifying revenue streams seems key to making it work. 👍
Well since we launched it has been working and we he have yet to fail to deliver in any significant way but we really want to make the project more resilient and decentlaized so it's a true generational investment.
!DUO
You just got DUO from @bitcoinman.
They have 1/1 DUO calls left.

!DOOK
You just got DOOKed!
@bitcoinman thinks your content is the shit.
They have 1/300 DOOK left to drop today.
Buy more DOOK here - smell ya later💩
If we move to Arbitrum or base, I'm pretty sure we could ask tw team to add our lending pool in their app.
That could be a way to fund lending without actually funding it all alone.
It will not work if the DUO price is set to follow Hive though. At least that's my opinion
!DUO
You just got DUO from @rainbowdash4l.
They have 2/2 DUO calls left.

No opinion here, let's see the ideas.
!INDEED
@bitcoinman Hmm that does sound interesting. While I will give it some additional thoughts - my initial response on both is positive.
My sole concern comes from the funding question - if I am correctly interpreting this - it would mean that the current dividends will be lower as the funds will be used to fund the additional income streams. While we need a little more insights in how that will look to know how I feel about it, I would assume it is also risky as that makes the value for current investors lower.
An alternative (which would be my recommendation to also explore) is to reallocate tranches of DUO to projects. That way you can keep the current investors equally happy (which we are :) ). For example the DUO allocated for guest authors (as we only see 2 different) could be used to create an offering (at a attractive price) that would fund the project. (Note: that allocation is just used as an example there might be other / more suitable allocations?)
(Also still hoping we can get the liquidity pool + arbitrage bot combo - which could be funded in this way)
The DUO bonus has not been issued for a while, the guest authors get 50%, however they got some loans from the team so with those 2 all the earnings going into DUO.
The issue is that one way or another we have to short somewhere to come up with these funds for income stream expansion, so if we reallocate tranches or sell more DUO to raise funds they are not going to curator HP.
The idea of using some of the curation and author rewards is to build up the fund faster, your idea is great and that is the bulk of where the funding for this new streams will come from new DUO sales diversions.
We don't have any numbers in mind, quite yet, and just floating ideas around, a lot of what you all bring up helps a great deal, so may as well leverage the wisdom of the crowd.
As for your (Also still hoping we can get the liquidity pool + arbitrage bot combo - which could be funded in this way) we actually recently had some one trying to manipulate the price of DUO down fruitlessly, and we also had some bots trading so I set up a trading account and have been manipulating the bots to bit higher closing the spread as well as buying DUO and then reselling for profit. The liquidity is not ideal but still made profits, I have kept these profits in that account and continuing this operation manually, it works but its not all good, the good things is this activity increases liquidity and provides exist liquidity while generating a profit however as I mentioned when you first brought it up the issue is that while the things mentioned above are great this activity is taking away from DUO sales when I undercut sales(1.5 order) to make a profit with this not being a pool and me just manually doing it I can
So yeah we have to end up shorting somewhere it's just a matter of finding the most fair way to do so together.
There is lots of cool ideas floating around and we will try to figure out and implement the best ones we possibly can.
You think DUO collateralized loans are cool ? its not just a regular loan when one uses DUO as collateral they can get a DUO delegation back so they still get curation divs and bot calls, assuming they don't default on the the loan that is 🤣
I think it's a great idea to look for other sources of income, and if the loans are secured, it can be very profitable.
