TL;DR

  • ICHI has deployed the $BOOTusd branded dollar
  • Initial minting ratio will be set to 100% ($1.00 USDC + $0.00 BOOT to mint 1 $BOOTusd)
  • Boot.finance will create BOOT<>BOOTusd pools with staking rewards for liquidity providers

ICHI has deployed a Decentralized Monetary Authority (DMA), a DAO customized for managing a branded dollar, for the boot.finance community to manage $BOOTusd. The dollar managed by the DMA is: capital efficient, collateralized, community governed, and yield bearing. $BOOTusd, a USD denominated base asset, will enable the boot.finance community to grow their initial liquidity as they continue their TGE. All addresses HODLing xICHI on and through January 5th, 2022 were eligible to claim a boot NFT and participate in their initial token auction. Now, all users can contribute ETH to the BOOT token sale and get $BOOT. BOOTusd will start at a 100% minting ratio until enough $BOOT is in circulation in the market at which point minting ratio may begin to decrease.

What is BOOT?

Boot Finance is a project that is focused on an AMM that lets other projects control their own liquidity, with the eventual goal of being the primary AMM/DEX for the majority of projects in Decentralized Finance.

Where can I get $BOOT?

You can buy $BOOT with $ETH through the $BOOT token sale.

How do I mint $BOOTusd?

You can mint $BOOTusd on ICHI by providing $USDC. You pay exactly $1 of value for each $BOOTusd.
