Question 1

What are Highstreet and HIGH, respectively?

Accepted Answer

Highstreet is a project built around Highstreet World; HIGH is a utility token in its ecosystem, used for scenarios such as marketplace purchases. The project repository defines Highstreet Market as a product within that virtual world, rather than defining HIGH itself as proof of ownership of any particular item. Under this marketplace design, users can use HIGH to purchase limited products; a separate type of “product token” corresponds to specific products. Therefore, HIGH should be distinguished from a particular product's token and from rights to redeem that product.

Question 2

What does Highstreet Market do?

Accepted Answer

Highstreet Market is a marketplace designed for limited products, described by the project as usable on the web and enterable as a setting within Highstreet World. Its design focuses on enabling product tokens corresponding to physical goods or specific limited items to be bought, traded, and redeemed. This means that on-chain tokens in the marketplace are not merely ordinary display certificates: in the process described in the README, product tokens are connected to redemption of the corresponding goods. Whether a given product exists, its quantity, and its specific redemption terms still depend on the actual configuration of that product pool.

Question 3

How are product-token prices formed?

Accepted Answer

Under the marketplace's early design, product-token prices are calculated jointly by a reserve pool and a pricing curve, rather than being determined through direct matching of buyers and sellers in an order book. After users deposit reserve assets into a product reserve pool, the contract mints product tokens according to the pricing function; buying and selling change reserve balances and token supply, thereby triggering the next price recalculation. The README defines the reserve ratio as a fixed ratio between a product token's market capitalization and its reserve balance, and explains that this ratio affects price sensitivity: a higher reserve ratio makes the price less sensitive to trading changes. The design also specifically addresses the fact that product tokens are indivisible and that the initial price cannot be zero; therefore, the curve mechanism should not be understood as guaranteeing price appreciation or an ability to exit at a particular price at any time.

Question 4

What is the difference between HIGH and product tokens?

Accepted Answer

HIGH is an ecosystem utility token, while product tokens correspond to specific limited products; they serve different roles. The product tokens described in the README are minted according to a pricing function after users deposit DAI or ETH into the relevant product reserve pool. Redeeming a product token changes its supply: when users redeem a product, the token is sent to the zero address and permanently removed from circulation. HIGH's use for marketplace purchases does not automatically make it equivalent to any product token, nor does holding HIGH mean obtaining eligibility to redeem a product.

Question 5

How was HIGH previously linked to gaming activities?

Accepted Answer

The README proposed “Proof of Play” liquidity mining: users would first join the Viveport subscription service, then complete specified activities in the virtual world, such as buying or selling products in the marketplace, in order to receive HIGH. Reward sources, eligibility, and settlement were all linked to the service integration and task requirements listed in that early proposal. The same README also states that using HIGH to purchase products could trigger staking rewards associated with a product pool; of the 4% fee charged on each purchase, 1% was proposed for allocation to HIGH stakers in that pool, with rewards paid in HIGH when product tokens were sold or redeemed. The documentation also uses wording such as “future releases” and “goals,” so these contents should be regarded as early mechanism designs and cannot establish that they are currently live or apply to all users or all product pools.
