# External Revenue

Heart’s Law generates external revenue through a process called rehypothecation.

This approach ensures that the protocol can consistently fund rewards without relying solely on new user transactions or token price increase.

## **What is Rehypothecation?**

Rehypothecation involves using staked assets within the protocol to generate external revenue for the protocol. Heart’s Law leverages the PulseX farm, where the protocol earns INC tokens as a reward.

## **How It Works**

**Using  Assets to Farm**

Heart’s Law leverages the assets within the protocol (DAI-WPLS LP tokens) to earn external rewards through the PulseX farm.

**Revenue Collection**

The rewards earned (INC) are collected with a percentage reinvested into the protocol.

**Boosting User Rewards**

The external revenue generated is used to contribute to the Reward Pool, Prize Pool, and randomly for Boost Rewards and other protocol beneficial incentives.

## **Why External Revenue Matters**

* **No Ponzinomics:** External revenue ensures rewards are funded independently of new user inflows or token price increases.
* **No Impact on User Assets**: Staked assets remain secure within the protocol while being utilized to generate additional revenue.
* **User Benefits**: 50% of the total income directly funds user rewards creating long-term value for the community.
