TESTNET LAUNCH

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.
