1. 14 days deposit period (dont need to rush) 2. deposit $UST in a lockup for period between 1-52 weeks 3. day 12 of deposit period = withdrawal closed off 4. $UST is locked up as $maUST
5. the $UST is used to bootstrap the activities on Mars for lending, etc 6. lockup participants gain $MARS 7. lockup participants and after launch participants who deposit $UST also get $xMARS 8. end of lockup period = $maUST withdrawal as your deposit + any interest accrued
disclaimer from Mars:
"NOTE: There is a risk of partial or total loss of the UST tokens, and payment of ‘interest’ is neither contractually promised nor guaranteed. Please see the disclaimer at the end of this article."
deposit your $UST at your own risk
Should be like this but I made light tl;dr of the entire launch article, so much more alpha inside!
@mars_protocol if I got anything wrong please correct me 🔴
3 hours in, I think I discovered why using borrowed $UST to do LP is much better, more rewarding, and much more calming to my opinion
Thread below 🧵
First off: You don't risk your actual assets.
Taking an example of this, assuming I take a loan of 20k $UST from my b $LUNA collateral, this means: 1. My loan is self-repaid (in the long run) through a net APR of ~12% (at time of writing) in ANC tokens
Continuation of 1:
This means that before taking into account of LP rewards or LP value going up (or down), my $UST loan WILL BE repaid sooner or later, by selling off my ANC
2. With respect of 1, when my loan is repaid off, the LP position you enter later is essentially, free.
