<summary>General Information</summary>

**Name:** Hive Ecosystem Legacy Token

**Symbol:** $HELT

To date, $HELT is an **internal game item**: it is managed through simple account entries within the app.

* It **has not been issued as a crypto-asset** and therefore has no contract address.
* It **cannot be bought or withdrawn**, and it cannot be transferred out of the app.

The project is considering turning it into a governance token at a later stage, **with no commitment as to timing, form or outcome**. This page will be updated should that happen.

<summary>How is it earned and what is it used for?</summary>

$HELT is earned in the game, through certain missions and one-off distributions announced in the app.

It is used to pay for certain upgrades of your bees and items. The details can be found on the relevant pages (mint, enhancement, honey pots).
