Minting OD
Minting OD means depositing WBTC into the reserve and receiving OD stablecoins in return.
How It Works
- You specify how much WBTC to deposit
- The app calculates how much OD you'll receive at the current TWAP price, minus the 1.5% fee
- You approve the transaction in OPWallet
- The reserve takes your WBTC and sends you OD
Step by Step
- Open the OD app and connect your wallet
- Select OD in the token selector
- Select Mint as the action
- Enter the WBTC amount you want to deposit
- Review the estimated OD output and fee breakdown
- Click Execute and approve in OPWallet
- Wait for the transaction to confirm
Example
If WBTC is trading at $100,000 and you deposit 0.01 WBTC ($100):
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| WBTC deposited | 0.01 ($100.00) |
| Fee (1.5%) | $1.50 |
| OD received | ~98.50 OD |
When Minting Is Blocked
OD minting is blocked when the reserve ratio would drop below 400%. This protects the system from becoming undercollateralised. If minting is blocked, wait for more WBTC to enter the reserve (via ORC minting) or for the BTC price to rise.
