Today we’re releasing our Testnet which will allow users to interact with the basic functionalities of our Earthquake product.

Here’s a rundown of available features:

MINT

This feature allows users to mint Y2K tokens by depositing Testnet eth into the Hedge and the Risk vault. The Hedge Vault is for premium depositors looking to take hedge against a depegging event, and the Risk vault is for collateral depositors looking to underwrite that risk. When depositing Testnet ETH into hedge vaults users will mint Y2K Hedge tokens. When depositing Testnet ETH into risk vaults users will mint Y2K risk tokens. Users will be able to mint DAI, and USDC Y2K tokens at the strike prices of .99, .98, and .97 cents. Each strike price will have a unique Y2K token associated with it based on the severity of the potential depeging event. Users will be allowed to Mint Y2K tokens from 12:00 pm EST 9/7/2022 till 12:00 pm EST 9/8/2022 when the Epoch starts. Once the Epoch starts minting will be disable as will be the case when the protocol is live.

CLAIM

Once users mint Y2K tokens their tokens will be visible in the claim tab. During the epoch the status under the token will denote “ongoing”. Users will be able to claim their Y2K token rewards at the end of the EPOCH. Depositors in the Hedge vaults will be able to claim rewards if a depeging event happens to end the epoch. In this case the status of the token will denote “win” under the token and users will have the option to “claim”. Depositors in the Risk vault will see “collateral liquidated” under their Y2K tokens but will still have the option to “claim premium”. If the Epoch ends without a depeg the Hedge token status will denote “liquidated” and users will have the option to “burn” their tokens. The Risk token status will denote “win” and they’ll have the option to “claim”. The Epoch will end at noon EST 9/10/2022.
