# HYPER ETH Distribution

For full details on mining specifically, go to [**Virtual Mining**](broken://pages/z7Yis1XYW4GPqaEPZ7oL)

This page only talks about the ETH that people use to create HYPER miners and what the HYPER protocol does with it.

To mine HYPER, people use ETH + time. The ETH runs through smart contracts in a 3-step manner, as seen below, all used to strengthen the TITANX ecosystem (HYPER included).

**Step 1 — ETH Distribution:**

* **89% of ETH gets sent to the decentralised** [**Buy TITANX**](/step-1-buy-titanx-eth.md) smart contract to buy TITANX off of the market via the WETH/TITANX uniswap v3 pair, the TITANX gets distributed as seen in Step 2
* **8% of ETH gets stored in** [**The Vortex**](/the-hyper-vortex.md) until Vortex triggers via users calling it and it gets put back into the Buy & Burn smart contracts.
* **3% of ETH goes to Genesis** of which you should have no expectations whatsoever. This may or may not be used to create deep liquidity between crucial pairs within the HYPER & TITANX ecosystem.

**Step 2 — TITANX distribution:**

* **70% of TITANX gets sent to the decentralised** [**HYPER Buy & Burn**](/step-2-buy-and-burn-hyper.md) smart contract to buy HYPER off the market via the TITANX/HYPER pair on Uniswap v3 and distributes it according to Step 3
* **10% of TITANX gets stored in** [**The Vortex**](/the-hyper-vortex.md) until Vortex triggers via users calling it and it gets put back into the Buy & Burn smart contracts
* **20% of TITANX bought gets burned forever**

**Step 3 —** **HYPER distribution:**

* **80% of the HYPER bought with TITANX via TITANX/HYPER gets burned**
* **20% gets distributed 50/50 amongst the 2 payout cycles.**

This is all done through smart contracts that users call & interact with using their own private keys, there is no central actor, authority, individual, group or company doing any critical work whatsoever. It's completely decentralized, owned & ran by the users interacting with the smart contracts deployed on the globally decentralized network called Ethereum.
