Minting $ERN

Learn how to open your first position in Ethos Reserve.

When you have your collateral, navigate to the Ethos Reserve Dashboard to begin creating a position.

The minimum amount that can be borrowed is 90 ERN.

Click "Get Started" to open your first position

From your dashboard, click on Get Started in the Open a Position box to open the position creation interface.

In the New Position interface, select the amount of collateral you would like to deposit and the amount of ERN you’d like to borrow.

Note that the 0.5% issuance fee scales up with high volume of redemptions. This is a security feature that mitigates sybil minting and redemption attacks.
