Welcome to the world of derivatives and decentralized finance. Derivatives, like synthetic assets, are digital assets that are backed by collateral and can be used to gain exposure to a wide range of assets and markets. The Arable Protocol provides a seamless and secure platform for collateralizing, borrowing, and minting $arUSD. By leveraging the power of the Arable Protocol, you can gain access to a wide range of collateral options and earn rewards for providing liquidity to the $arUSD pool on Osmosis. With the Arable Protocol, you can experience the best of DeFi, from collateralizing your assets to earning rewards, all in one place. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adding liquidity for $arUSD on the Osmosis pool using the Arable Protocol, so you can start earning rewards.

Adding arUSD liquidity to Osmosis is a simple process that requires a few steps. In this article, we will guide you through the process of borrowing arUSD by putting collateral (ATOM/OSMO), transferring it to Osmosis, and putting liquidity for arUSD in the pool.

Before you begin, you will need a Keplr or Metamask wallet to connect to both Arable Protocol and Osmosis DEX.

I. Bridging tokens to Acrechain

  1. Go to https://app.arable.finance/#/ibc
  2. Connect your Metamask and make sure to change your network to Acrechain by clicking the top right button beside your address. Confirm the switch through Metamask

3. The summary of your assets will be shown along with the list of IBC tokens that you can withdraw and deposit from Acrechain.

4. Clicking deposit will open the option of moving the following tokens from their native chains to Acrechain, the tokens are:

(1) Osmosis Chain — Arable Token ($ACRE), Arable USD ($arUSD), Osmosis $OSMO

(2) Cosmos Chain — Atom ($ATOM)

(3) Axelar Chain — Axelar USDC ($axlUSDC)

To move $OSMO/$ATOM, connect both your Keplr and Metamask by clicking Connect Keplr and GET ADDRESS. Input your desired amount of token to be bridged to Acrechain and click on Deposit.

Make sure to approve the Keplr Interaction window that will appear by choosing the desired amount of fee and clicking on Approve.

Make sure that you are choosing the IBC $OSMO and have the button Convert to ERC20. Input desired amount of assets to be bridged to ERC20 and click on the Convert to ERC20 button. A Metamask transaction window will open, click on Sign for both the Signature request and Fee request

Make sure you have $ACRE available on your Acrechain, you can do this by buying $ACRE on Osmosis. Make sure that the $ACRE is on the Osmosis chain then deposit it to Acrechain by clicking on Deposit on Arable Protocol

Once the transaction is completed you will now see that the $OSMO balance is under ERC20 Balance. And that’s it you have now successfully deposited an asset from Osmo Chain to Acrechain.
