Previously, we bought $500 of Wrapped Bitcoin and $500 of Ether following this guide.

Now we proceed to lock ether and bitcoin in vaults in order to print $DAI stable coins.

Main steps in this guide:

  1. Oasis: lock bitcoin
  2. Oasis: print dollars Brrrr
  3. Oasis:lock ether
  4. Oasis: print dollars Brrrr

Oasis: lock bitcoin, then print $DAI

go to oasis.app

Click on Borrow Dai

Connect a wallet → MetaMask

  • Connect Metamask Wallet with oasis.app
  • Click on “+”
  • Select WBTC-A, then continue

Note:we are going to select WBTC-A vault as we are going to lock Wrapped Bitcoin into a vault and print DAI. As per today, we’ll pay 1% Annual Interest Rate for the DAI that we print

  • Click Setup
  • Confirm Transaction
  • Now click on “Set”
  • Confirm Transaction
  • Continue through the wizard:
  • we specify 0.05271708 WBTC to be locked in a vault, this is all our wrapped bitcoin.
  • We specify to print 200 DAI
  • The liquidation price will be $5690.75
  • Click “Continue”

Note: If the BTCUSD price goes below 5690.75 our vault will automatically start a liquidation process. In the liquidation process, our collateral (wrapped bitcoin) will be sold in the market to pay the debt we owe and the system will punish us by 13% for not properly managing our risk.

  • Accept terms of service
  • Click “Open Vault”
  • Confirm Transaction
  • Transaction confirmed
  • Vault is created
  • Click “Exit”

Our Vault is created:

  • We have 0.0527 WBTC locked in a vault
  • we have printed 200$ worth of DAI (200 DAI, stable coin)

Oasis: lock ether, then print $DAI

We repeat the process for ETH

  • Click the “+” icon
