The Hex protocol is built on the Ethereum blockchain and utilizes a number of smart contracts to automate the staking process and facilitate the issuance of new HEX tokens.

Meta: Hex works by allowing users to stake their tokens for a specified amount of time. Once the staking period is complete, the user receives their original tokens plus additional HEX tokens as a reward. These additional tokens are generated by the protocol and hex.com are distributed to users according to the amount of time they have staked their tokens and the amount of HEX tokens they have staked.
