On this screen you can also view what hLP is currently made up of and if you view the hLP breakdown then the utilisation & current/ target weights are provided. more on the mechanics of hLP are available here.

   
4. in the dropdown for the from section select the token you want to use to swap into hLP with. the dropdown list will automatically show the tokens which you have in your wallet but if you would like to view the price of any other token then you may search for it by entering the address or the symbol/ name.

5. enter how many tokens you wish to sell in the amount section or select max if you wish to convert your entire holding.

6. once your price has been processed select review then confirm the details of your trade by selecting convert in the pop up. you should now be the holder of hLP and will start earning a share of protocol fees.

once you acquire hLP it is automatically staked and earns protocol fees. you will be able to track your rewards on the liquidity page in earn. by selecting claim rewards you will be able to receive your share of the protocol fees in your wallet.
