# Technical Details
HSX is a digital token that is built on the Omchain (OMC) network using the ERC-20 standard. It has a fixed total supply of one billion tokens, and can be transferred between wallets that support the Omchain (OMC) network, such as Metamask.
The main purpose of HSX is to allow users to extract the value they have earned through their activity in the HelpSteps app. In this sense, HSX functions as a utility token, giving users the right to redeem their HSX for HS, the value used within the app for transactions and donations.
HSX token holders also have the ability to participate in the decision-making process for the HelpSteps ecosystem by voting on various issues. This allows them to influence the direction and development of the app.
HSX uses a unique token distribution mechanism, and has a token lifecycle that burns 0.5% of HSX tokens every time they are converted to HS. This helps to maintain the value and stability of the token.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help-steps.gitbook.io/whitepaper/hsx-token/technical-details.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
