# Bootstrap Benefits

Bootstrapping means you are actively helping the Hex One Protocol gain collateral at launch. Not only do you get $HEX1 but also an extra incentive token, $HEXIT. 

Bootstrapping is a mix of sacrifice and airdrop. It essentially means that the Hex One Protocol is the ultimate benefactor and not the team. Only 25% of the bootstrap funds go into liquidity, the remaining returns to the user in HEX1 tokens.

There are many benefits to bootstrapping:

Higher liquidity = higher probable stability | A way to convert from Hex1 into DAI from ETH and vice-versa                                           |
| **By participating you can claim the incentive token, $HEXIT** | Hex One Protocol stablecoin has an embedded incentive token                                                                       | **Claim $HEXIT** in porportion to your bootstrap share + airdrop                                      |

They also receive $HDRN and $COM tokens automatically |
| **You are making HEX scarcer!**                                | By sacrificing you are converting HEX or other non-HEX tokens into T-SHARES. This makes less HEX available in the market          | **You stake your HEX for the maximum duration while enjoying borrowing against its USD value**        |

Only bootstrap using our [official dApp](https://hex1.club). If you send tokens directly into the contract you <mark style="color:red;">**may not**</mark> be eligible to claim your $HEX1 and $HEXIT tokens.
