# ⚔️ Overview

LookIntoMaxi details statistics on the HEX-related products from [Maximus](https://twitter.com/maximus_dao).

It's an independent site built by [@hegeta](https://twitter.com/hexgeta), a Maximus community member & Hexican!

The hope is that these stats shine a light on the myriad ways of valuing these awesome assets.

Allowing users to be as informed as possible about the assets that they decide to hold and trade.

## Stake Periods

Each pool token is backed by a HEX stake of different length:

* MAXI: 15 years
* DECI: 10 years
* LUCKY: 7 years
* TRIO: 3 years
* BASE: 1 year

This, combined with many other stake variables like: 

* Staked HEX Principle
* T-share Rate at stake start
* Daily payouts during the stake

and market conditions like:

* Liquidity
* General sentiment
* Holder distribution

all come together to give each token, on each chain, its own unique set of statistics.

## Chains

Nearly every page contains a toggle to switch between stats for Ethereum & PulseChain. 

Since the launch of PulseChain (a fork of Ethereum) all of the Maximus tokens were copied over to PulseChain. 

So now, we have two sets of tokens. 

One on Ethereum and one on PulseChain, each backed by separate stakes.

## Naming Conversions

### PulseChain vs Ethereum

To differentiate between these tokens the site explicitly includes the prefix ***p*** or ***e*** before the token ticker.

For example:

* For DECI on PulseChain, **pDECI** is used
* For LUCKY on Ethereum, **eLUCKY** is used

### Emojis

Emojis are also used to represent each token:

* MAXI: Ⓜ️ 
* DECI: 🛡️
* LUCKY: 🍀
* TRIO: 🎲
* BASE: 🟠

### Stake Period

The site occasionally uses a numerical suffix after the ticker symbol to indicate the stake period that that ticker represents (e.g. 1, 2, 3..)

For example:

eBASE1 = Ethereum Base, stake period 1\
eBASE2 = Ethereum Base, stake period 2\
etc.

You will currently only see this notation for BASE, as it's the only pool token that has been through more than one stake cycle.

### Mint Phase

Each token has a period at its inception called a Mint phase. This phase usually lasts a few days 7-14 days to allow for a good amount of HEX to be pooled together by users. 

This becomes a strong reference point for value as it's the ratio that users inserted in return for a guaranteed amount of stake pool tokens before the stake started.

Every time a stake ends for these tokens, a new mint phase has to start where users can withdraw their HEX + Yield and new users can deposit new HEX at the *new rate*.

**Mint price in HEX isn't always 1:1 - (New mint rate)**

As each stake matures the ratio of HEX to stake pool tokens increases in line with the new backing value of the stake. For example, BASE finished its first cycle with a backing of about 1 BASE:1.12 HEX. This was the next starting point for the net stake and what users could get for their HEX.
