HEX stakes explained

A HEX stake locks HEX for a set number of days. When it ends, the staker gets the HEX back plus interest, minus any penalty. PlsLens reads stakes straight from the HEX contract, for any wallet, without connecting one.

How do I see my HEX stakes?

• Paste the wallet address in the box above, or in the search on plslens.com.
• Open the HEX stakes tab.
• There is no wallet to connect and nothing to sign. PlsLens only reads the public HEX contract.
• It works for any address: a cold wallet, an old wallet, or one you only watch.
• It lists stakes on PulseChain and on Ethereum. Stakes wrapped by Hedron (HSI) are included.

Each stake shows the HEX staked, the start and end dates, the days served, its T-shares, the interest so far and what ending it today would return.

What do I get back when a HEX stake ends?

The sum is short: HEX staked + interest − penalty.

• Principal: the HEX that was locked.
• Interest: a daily share of HEX's payout, set by the stake's T-shares. It counts up to the end day.
• Days served: how many of the stake's days are done.
• Penalty: zero for a stake ended on time. HEX is lost for ending early or too late.

PlsLens works this out the way the HEX contract does and shows it as If ended today.

What happens if I end a HEX stake early?

• Ending before the last day costs an early-end penalty.
• The penalty is the interest from the first half of the stake's length, and never less than 90 days of interest.
• If fewer days have been served than that, the penalty is scaled up to cover them. So it can take part of the staked HEX, or all of it.
• Half of any penalty goes to the HEX origin address. The other half goes to everyone still staking.

Is there a penalty for ending a HEX stake late?

• After the end day there are 14 days of grace. Ending inside them costs nothing.
• From day 15, the late penalty grows by 1/700 of the stake's value (HEX staked plus interest) for each extra day.
• At 714 days late, nothing is left.
• Late days pay no interest.

What is good accounting on a HEX stake?

Once a stake has served all its days, anyone can run good accounting on it. This closes its books: the late penalty stops growing from that day. The HEX stays in the stake until the owner ends it. PlsLens shows such a stake as "Late, penalty fixed at" a percentage.

When do big HEX stakes unlock?

The HEX unlock calendar shows, for each day of a month, how much HEX sits in PulseChain stakes that end that day.

• Amounts are HEX staked. Interest comes on top.
• A day with more than 3 times the month's median is marked Big.
• Tap a day for its 20 largest stakes.
• Past days list stakes that reached their end but haven't been ended yet.
• HEX days start at 00:00 UTC. The month can be saved as a CSV file.

On a wallet's stakes tab, PlsLens can also save a calendar file with three reminders per stake: 7 days before the end, the end day, and the last day of grace.
