# Tokenomics

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Mint" %}
To mint Helm (**HLM**), you must lock up your XEN Crypto (**XEN**) for 6 years - you will get your **XEN** back when your locking period is over

On day 1 for each 1,000,000 **XEN** locked, you get to mint 100 **HLM** - or in other words, for each 10,000 **XEN** you lock up, you get 1 **HLM**

Every following day, the rate of **HLM** you can mint goes down by 100 / 730 days (2 years) = 0.136986301369863014 until it is not possible to mint more **HLM**, by locking up your **XEN**, ever again
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Bonus" %}
Each mint gets assigned a C Rank, you may mint multiple times

There is a global C Rank which tracks the number of total mints

You earn a bonus reward from the global C Rank subtracted by your mint's C Rank, to determine how many mints came after yours, and reward is calculated against the amount you minted and the number of mints that came after you

Your bonus reward may be claimed after 730 days, or 2 years, from the genesis date of the contract
