Sushi’s Onsen has DUSD & DFD on the menu!

With Sushi’s Onsen program going live the following pairs have been added to SushiSwap:
- DUSD-ETH Pool
- DFD-ETH Pool

One can now provide liquidity to either pool to farm $SUSHI. This guide aims to provide step by step instructions for one to participate in the Defidollar related pools on Sushiswap.

The Guide is divided into three parts:

  1. Providing DUSD — ETH liquidity into SushiSwap
  2. Staking your Sushi SLP
  3. Checking your position and rewards

We will be illustrating the flow for DUSD-ETH in this article. The same steps can be followed to participate in the DFD-ETH pool as well.

Providing DUSD — ETH liquidity into SushiSwap

Step #1: Obtain DUSD by minting from the app or use a DeX

Minting: If you already hold the following stablecoins : USDT,USDC,DAI or TUSD

  1. Visit the DefiDollar App

2. Currently you can use either of DAI, USDC, USDT, TUSD or a combination of those to mint DUSD. In case you want to mint using multiple assets click on “Add more tokens”.
You can also use yCRV & yUSD directly to mint DUSD. This operation is also very gas efficient and doesn’t incur a fee.

Click add more tokens and select one or all stablecoins that you want to mint DUSD with.

3. Input the amount of DUSD you want to mint and click Mint.

a) Depending on the number of assets used as input, you have to sign approval requests. i.e if using only USDT — one request to approve USDT.

b) Post granting approvals approve the minting transaction.

Upon the transaction getting mined on-chain the DUSD balance will be reflected in your wallet and on the web-app.

Using a DEX :

You can obtain DUSD from the below mentioned DEX’s/AMM’s/ wallet interfaces:

  1. Curve: https://www.curve.fi/dusd
  2. Uniswap
  3. Balancer
  4. OneInch
  5. Matcha
  6. Zerion
  7. Zapper

If need be use the contract address below to search for the DUSD token manually.
DUSD contract address: 0x5bc25f649fc4e26069ddf4cf4010f9f706c23831

DFD can be obtained from all the above with the exception of Curve.

Once you have obtained the requisite token that you wish to farm with, proceed to the next steps.

Step #2: Depositing DUSD-ETH into Sushiswap

1. Visit the Onsen DUSD-ETH deposit page on Sushiswap

Please ensure you have both DUSD and ETH and that your wallet is connected
