HSBI (Hive SBI) is a subscription-based upvoting service on Hive — you sponsor accounts (including yourself) and they get automatic upvotes on their posts. It's been around for years as a way to bootstrap engagement and rewards for smaller accounts.

HSBIDAO is the tokenized version on Hive-Engine. Holding it gives you the same voting benefits as regular HSBI units, but it's tradeable and can be used in DeFi (like liquidity pools). The key feature: staked HSBIDAO in pools still earns upvotes, so there's no yield sacrifice for providing liquidity.

For your LBI/HSBIDAO pool idea — it makes sense if there's overlap in holders. Both are yield-focused Hive assets, so cross-involvement seems likely. The whitelisting from HSBI means pooled tokens keep earning, which removes the usual LP opportunity cost problem.
