How Hex Bond works

Three steps, each turning something you hold into something that earns.

Each step turns something you hold into something that earns. The only fee is the 1% mint fee, paid to vault stakers.

1. Lock HEX → get Hex Bonds

Hand a HEX stake to Hex Bond (or start a new one through it) and mint Hex Bonds against it. Each Hex Bond pays out 1 HEX on its date. You can mint up to just below what the stake is worth, so every bond is always fully covered. Minting costs 1%, paid in Hex Bonds to HBR stakers in that bond's vault. Already hold a HEX Time Token (HTT)? Wrap it 1:1 instead — see Wrapping HTT.

2. Pair Hex Bonds with HEX

Add your Hex Bonds and HEX to a pool on PulseX. You get an LP token back.

3. Stake the LP → earn HBR

Stake the LP token on the Farms page and earn HBR every second. Rewards run for 100 years. See Farming & emissions.

The HBR tax

Buying or selling HBR on a DEX costs 6%: 4% to the treasury, 1% to liquidity, 0.5% burned and 0.5% to HBR stakers. Normal wallet transfers are not taxed. Details on HBR token.

Where to put your HBR

Vault — deposit for a chosen Hex Bond date and earn the 1% fee on every mint and wrap of that bond.
Stake — earn a share of the tax and of treasury buys.

Two timers — don't mix them up

Your deposit is locked; your rewards release. Only the lock can cost you anything, and adding more never restarts it.

Your deposit is locked for 90 days. Leaving early costs a penalty that shrinks to zero by day 90.
Your rewards release over 7 days. Claiming early gives you what has released so far; the rest stays yours for later. Nothing you earn is ever taken away.

Adding more doesn't restart the 90 days. It averages: the bigger the top-up compared with what is already locked, the further the timer moves back. It can never go past 90 days from your latest deposit, and money that already finished its 90 days stays free. Each vault date has its own timer; staking has one timer for everything. The vault and stake pages show the days left.

Vault fees

Your share of each fee is credited right away, then releases over 7 days. Anything not yet released stays yours. The delay stops people from jumping in just before a big mint and leaving straight after.

Adding more to a vault pushes the release timer back a little for fees not yet released — delayed, not lost. Collect first if you want them in hand now.

Staking rewards

Rewards flow in slowly so nobody can jump in, grab them and leave. You never lose anything you have earned.

Staking HBR works the same way: 90-day lock, rewards release over 7 days, nothing lost. Just holding HBR in your wallet earns nothing — you have to stake it.

New rewards go into a pool that pays out a small share each day, so the pool shown on the staking page is meant to be large and growing. The page shows what you are owed and what you can claim now.
