# Pollen Yield

*<mark style="color:red;">(Currently unavailable)</mark>*

**Pollen Yield (HELT Lock)**\
This mechanic allows you to earn **Pollen** by locking **$HELT tokens** in the Imperial Hive.

🔒 **How It Works**

* You choose a lock duration for your **$HELT**
* During this period, your tokens are immobilized
* In return, you earn **Pollen every day**

⏱️ **The longer you lock, the more you earn**

* **7 days** → 0.10 Pollen / day per **$1 in locked HELT**
* **14 days** → 0.12 Pollen / day per **$1 in locked HELT**
* **30 days** → 0.15 Pollen / day per **$1 in locked HELT**

👉 **Longer duration = higher daily yield**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**

* Locked **$HELT** cannot be used during the selected period
* The **HELT / $ rate** is fixed at the time of locking and remains unchanged throughout the lock period
* **Pollen is generated automatically every day at 00:00 UTC**
* At the end of the lock period, **you recover your $HELT**
