- OUSD - This is the collateral deposit that you will earn a high leveraged yield on. You can purchase OUSD on these platforms: Curve.fi, OUSD.com or 1inch.io
- ARCH Token - To buy the leverage needed to get a high yield you will need to provide ARCH token. You can purchase ARCH on Uniswap Here.

FAQ
Is my position “Locked” for 370 Days?
- No. You can close the position at any time (as long as there are enough funds to repay the debt). If you don’t manually close the position it will unwind itself naturally after 370 days and the funds can be claimed from the platform after that date.
What happens if I close my browser before I get the Open Position confirmation?
- Don’t worry, all events are stored on-chain. If you completed the Open Position process then you can confirm this by checking your wallet's address transactions on Etherscan at this link: https://etherscan.io/address/[your-wallet-address]
What if I Approved an amount of OUSD or ARCH but now I want a larger position?
- You can change the OUSD amount in the ‘OUSD Principle’ field. This will recalculate how much OUSD and ARCH needs to be approved. If they are higher than the previously approved amounts then the Approved buttons will be re-enabled and you can click them again.
