Quick Start Guide & FAQ

Here is a quick and easy guide on how to get started using FlatcoinUSD.

Quick Start Guide

Visit the FlatcoinUSD Dapp using the “Borrow Now” button below.

There you can provide collateral to take out an interest-free FUSD loan to get started.

From there, you can stake your FUSD in the Stability Pool to earn rewards.

By staking FUSD in the Stability Pool, you earn liquidation gains (in BNB) and the protocol reward token (FFEE).

FlatcoinFEE (FFEE) is the Revenue token of the FUSD ecosystem. It received revenue from the FlatcoinUSD protocol.

By staking FFEE, you earn the revenue from issuance fees (in FUSD) and redemption fees (in BNB).

If a trove falls below the minimum 110% collateralization ratio, anyone can liquidate the trove and will receive a reward and gas fees coverage for doing so. 

Generally, liquidations produce profits for the liquidator and Stability Pool stakers.

Learn more about liquidations here.

The redemption system allows anyone at anytime to exchange FUSD for 1:1 backing (BNB) at the target price.

This is crucial for maintaining the price peg.

Learn more about redemptions here.

If the price is too low:

  •  Users can buy FUSD at the market price, and redeem it for BNB to earn a profit and maintain the target price peg.

 

If the price is too high:

  • Users can borrow FUSD for BNB and sell it to earn a profit and help bring the price down.
 
These mechanisms allow users to gain a profit while maintaining the FUSD peg.
 
Issuance and redemption fees are distributed to ALTRU Revenue Pool stakers. 

Recovery mode is a protective protocol-wide system in case the collateral price falls significantly and the total collateral ratio falls below 150%.

In recovery mode, troves collateralized under 150% can be liquidated and, the fee to borrow FUSD is 0%. 

The goal of recovery mode is to bring the total collateral ratio back up above 150% to ensure the protocol remains stable and sufficiently backed.
