### Deposit HEX <a href="#what-is-a-vault" id="what-is-a-vault"></a>

Pick an amount of HEX tokens to deposit. The USD value must be greater than $1. HEX will be transformed into T-Shares by the vault, and used as collateral.&#x20;

After you successfully deposit you receive your Hex1 Debt Title NFT, that contains the T-shares and dates of your deposit.&#x20;
