# How to Use Blastex

## It All Starts with Bonding

We spared no effort in making the **Blastex** interface highly streamlined and intuitive so you can jump right into **Bonding**, **Staking**, and **Treasury Epochs** right after you connect your wallet.

Go to the **Blastex** [**Bonding**](https://blastex.net/bonding) page, which is the platform's landing page, and click **Connect** to start connecting your wallet.

You can connect directly with your **MetaMask** or use the secure **Wallet Connect** protocol integrated into **Blastex** to connect with dozens of other wallet solutions.

You can also connect with **MetaMask** via **Wallet Connect**.

Once logged in, input the amount of ETH you'd like to Bond and pick from the available vesting plans. Then click **Bond** and confirm the transaction in your wallet pop-up.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Stake Bond** button in your Bond's row will take you to the **Blastex** [Liquidity Staking](https://blastex.net/staking) page. Read on to learn how to interact with it too.
{% endhint %}

**✅ Done! You've successfully Bonded Blast ETH on Blastex.**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Bonding** refers to a deferred purchase of BLASTX with ETH. These tokens are locked for a period you choose, adding a time aspect to your investment strategy.\
\
Your BLASTX tokens will fully vest in **30**, **20**, **10**, or **5** days and you'll receive your initial Bonded funds plus an extra **5** to **30%** in BLASTX.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The min. amount of ETH you can Bond is **0.001 ETH**.\
\
Always remember that you'll need a little ETH to pay gas fees to **Blast** for using **Blastex**. The great part is that **Blast** shares 50% of all gas fees back with its protocols, and **Blastex** will be distributing 100% of that.
{% endhint %}

## **Step 2: Liquidity Staking**

With a Bond to your name, you can add it and the full amount of rewards after vesting (5-30%) for Liquidity Staking.

The Bond cannot be used partially, so if your Bonded 1.3 ETH, you'll need to add another 1.3 ETH to stake your liquidity.

Your base daily Liquidity Staking yield is **1%**, with the total possible Liquidity Staking rewards capped at 150%.

{% hint style="info" %}
Add BLASTX to your wallet with the **Add BLASTX to Wallet** button for convenient access.
{% endhint %}

To do it, simply click **Select Bond**, pick the Bond you just made (**Blastex** will automatically match it with the amount of ETH you'll need to match it with, hit Stake Bond, and confirm the transaction in your wallet pop-up.
