[STEP 5] Add USDO + BUSD to a Liquidity Pool

This is how we get more out of our stablecoins while our assets wait.
Let’s start by adding $BUSD and $USDO to the Liquidity Pool.

⚈ Start by getting some BUSD with your USDO!
⚈ Then add USDO and BUSD to the pool at OCP’s Trade platform.

Be sure the “Liquidity” Option is selected at top

⚈ You will now being earning fees whenever anyone uses the pool to go back and forth between BUSD and USDO!

But don’t stop here!

What does that mean?

[STEP 7] Lend USDO (optional)

This is a great option for those who want to put some stable coins to work! Probably after having been active in the pools for a while, or during a bear market!

ABOUT USDO

USDO is an over-collateralized multi-collateral stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, thereby making stocks, real estate, crypto currencies, and nearly any real world asset a viable candidate as collateral for minting it.

One by one, assets are being added as approved collateral for minting our stablecoin, and over the next year, we can expect to see larger, more illiquid, and more ‘tangible’ assets added to our platforms.

Of course, USDO is also jam packed with utility and is available for use across a growing number of platforms. Read more here.

Welcome. You’re early!
