MetaMint $YU

Metamint is a process that allows you to turn Bitcoin (BTC) into $YU. This guide explains how to stake BTC, mint $YU, and unstake your BTC when needed.

Step 1: Staking BTC to Get YBTC

To mint $YU, you first need to stake your Bitcoin (BTC) and convert it into YBTC, a wrapped Bitcoin token which can be used to mint $YU.

Steps to Obtain YBTC:

1. Enter the amount of BTC you want to stake in the provided input box.

2. Review the exchange rate, staking fee, and estimated confirmation time. For security reasons, our confirmation requires 6 blockchain confirmations which may take up to 60 minutes.

3. Click the Submit button to initiate the staking process.

4. Approve the transaction in your BTC wallet.

5. Wait for the staking process to complete. Once confirmed, your staked BTC will be converted into YBTC and reflected in your YBTC balance.
