HEX Fundamental Analysis
HEX is a decentralized cryptocurrency and the first Certificate of Deposit or a fixed deposit on the blockchain. It was designed as a store of value to replace the Certificate of Deposit used in the traditional financial markets. It is also meant to facilitate the use of the DeFi ecosystem within the Ethereum network.
The project promises more efficient cryptocurrencies and payment networks based on secure and safe p2p technology.
HEX was launched in December 2019 by Richard Heart, a public figure well-known in the crypto space for his ideas. The initial HEX tokens were airdropped for free. Heart implemented a HEX network after getting rich in the early 2000s working with affiliate marketing and making online promotions. Currently, Richard is fully involved in the rapidly growing project. Recently Richard Heart bought the world’s largest cut diamond called “The Enigma”, which he renamed “HEX.com Diamond”.
HEX uses Ethereum for the transaction layer (sending and receiving the HEX tokens and interacting with HEX smart contract), and the consensus and staking mechanisms are contained in the HEX smart contract. The network is able to perform 2000 transactions per second. The official website asserts that the HEX protocol is better and safer than the one offered by Bitcoin.
Users can stake their HEX tokens and receive a share of the newly issued HEX coins. The validation mechanism rewards the behaviors that boost the price appreciation and punishes the behaviors that compromise the price. For example, stakers have to pay a penalty if they pull out the stake early and reward them for a larger staking period similar to the traditional banking deposit. Stakes can be staked for any period from 1 to 5555 days. HEX claims to pay over 40% of annual APY.
HEX utilizes the Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, so the users get rewarded for securing the network by staking their tokens.
HEX is an ERC-20 standard token launched on the Ethereum network. It follows the ERC-20 guidelines.
The HEX tokens were distributed to the Bitcoin holders in the proportion of 10000 HEX for 1 BTC. Bitcoin holders were only allowed to claim the HEX only during the first year of launch. The coins can also be obtained for ETH through interaction with the HEX smart contract.
At the end of the first year from the launch, the HEX tokens that were not claimed by Bitcoin holders are distributed to the HEX token holders that have stakes in HEX. Over 300 000 HEX tokens were distributed to the Bitcoin holders. The designed annual inflation after that can’t exceed 3.69%.
