# Mint

Minting is how you create LYNX — the Lynxify Index token. When you mint, your HBAR is deposited into the Lynxify treasury, which automatically allocates it across all the assets in the LYNX vault. In return, you receive LYNX tokens that represent your share of that basket.

**New to crypto?** Think of minting like exchanging cash for a diversified fund. You put in HBAR, and you get back LYNX — a single token that's backed by five assets working together to generate yield.

### Before You Start

Make sure you have the following ready:

* A Hedera compatible **wallet** installed and set up.  View the "Connect Wallet" section for guidance on how to connect your wallet.
* Some **HBAR** in your wallet to spend
* A small amount of extra HBAR to cover the **network transaction fee** (usually less than 1 HBAR)

***

### Step 1 — Connect Your Wallet

Open token.lynxify.xyz and click **Mint** in the middle of the page. Select your wallet that has your HBAR assets, and approve the connection in your wallet app.

Once connected, your wallet address will appear in the corner.

***

### Step 2 — Open the Mint Window

On the homepage, click the **Mint LYNX** button. A popup will appear — this is where the minting happens.

### Step 3 — Enter Your HBAR Amount

In the **You Pay** field, type the amount of HBAR you want to use.

Not sure how much to enter? Use the quick-select buttons:

* **25%** — uses a quarter of your available HBAR balance
* **50%** — uses half
* **75%** — uses three-quarters
* **MAX** — uses your full available balance

***

### Step 4 — Review What You'll Receive

As you type, the **You Receive** section updates in real time to show:

* How many **LYNX tokens** you'll get
* Your final LYNX amount

There's nothing to approve here — just check the numbers look right before continuing.

***

### Step 5 — Click "Mint LYNX"

When you're happy with the amount, click the **Mint LYNX** button at the bottom of the popup.

This sends a transaction request to your HashPack wallet.

***

### Step 6 — Approve in Wallet

Your HashPack wallet will open and show you the transaction details. Review them and click **Confirm** to approve.

The transaction usually confirms within a few seconds on Hedera. You don't need to do anything while you wait.&#x20;

***

### Step 7 — You're Done

Once the transaction confirms, your LYNX tokens will appear in your wallet.

From this point on, your LYNX is automatically earning yield — no staking or additional steps required.
