These guidelines are intended to provide a step-by-step procedure for the minting of USD++.

The USD++ smart-pool currently includes as underlying assets a weighted allocation of the following USD stable-coins on the Ethereum network (exact weightings can be found live here, after connecting Metamask):

  • ~47.22% USDC
  • ~28.58% TUSD
  • ~20.42% DAI
  • ~3.78% sUSD

In order to proceed with the minting process it will currently be required to hold the correct proportion of each of the above mentioned assets in a single Ethereum wallet, that will be eventually used to interact with the PieDAO USD++ contract for minting.

Spoiler Alert: In the near future we’ll be releasing a single entry functionality, allowing to mint USD++ starting from a single asset held on wallet.

Getting the underlying assets

All of the underlying assets can be conveniently swapped on curve.fi starting from any of the major Ethereum-based stablecoin. Simply select the origin asset as “From” and the destination asset as “To” and hit “Sell”, then confirm on Metamask.

Minting USD++

As soon as all required amounts of USDC, TUSD, DAI, sUSD will be sitting in your unique ETH address, the USD++ minting can take place by heading to usd.piedao.org/#/liquidity, connecting your Metamask and adding the required liquidity to the USD++ pool!

Just make sure the same ETH address also holds enough ETH to pay for the minting tx gas.
