Path 1: Hold BUCK (Easiest)

Step 1: Get USDC

You need USDC on Ethereum mainnet. Bridge from other chains or buy on an exchange.

Step 2: Connect to buck.io

1. Go to buck.io

2. Click "Connect Wallet"

3. Select your wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, etc.)

Step 3: Mint BUCK

1. Enter the USDC amount you want to convert

2. Review the exchange rate (shows how much BUCK you'll receive)

3. Click "Mint"

4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

Step 4: Receive Yield Monthly

Yield is distributed automatically in BUCK each month. See Monthly Distribution for eligibility details.

Three reward streams. Hold BUCK and earn STRC yield (distributed automatically), Points (automatic), and Merkl BUCK rewards (claim weekly at merkl.xyz). See Buck Points Program for details.

Path 2: Provide LP (Higher Rewards)

Why Provide Liquidity?

Benefit	Details
3x Points	LP positions earn 3x vs holding
Trading Fees	~1-2% APY from swaps
Merkl Rewards	$4,167/week (Curve)
Protocol Impact	Deep liquidity helps Buck grow

Step 1: Get BUCK + USDC

You need roughly equal value of both tokens.

Example: $5,000 BUCK + $5,000 USDC = $10,000 LP position

Step 2: Add Liquidity on Curve

Curve is optimized for stablecoin swaps with lower slippage.

1. Go to curve.fi

2. Find the BUCK/USDC pool

3. Click "Deposit"

4. Enter your BUCK and USDC amounts

5. Approve tokens and confirm deposit

LP positions earn 3x Points multiplier, trading fees, and Merkl BUCK rewards. See Buck Points Program for multiplier details.

Path 3: Refer Friends

How It Works

1. Get your unique referral link from buck.io (powered by Merkl)
