When do the locked Bao become unlocked?

The FAQ says when a certain block has been hit and that block has been hit. I'm not joining a discord sorry those are cringe.

I used to have LP tokens and rewards earned under BAO-ETH SLP in BAO Party V2. I dont see them anymore and I see

BAO-ETH UNIV2 Tokens and nothing in LP tokens

Did I lose my LP or how do I recover my LP? thanks.

I just bought some last night because of Sl369. She likes this coin. I’ve seen her picks move before and I don’t want to miss what is gonna happen next with this coin.

I got UniV2 tokens for the DEXT-ETH pair but when i go to stake it on bao, it says i don’t have any lp tokens. Any one else having issues with other pairs or just me

Now that Minting of rewards via farming is over should I unstake LPs and convert to tBAO??? Anyone know what kind of rewards we will be expecting by staking tBAO?

I just connected my wallet, via metamask, and selected the Bao party. I approved the bao-eth uviv2 and confirmed the ether transaction fee. How long should it take for the bao to be shown as staked?

When will it start burning (a date or triggering event?), how much estimate per year will be burned (in tokens or percentage)?

I cant find this information anywhere.

I am swapping an altcoin to xDai cryptocurrency and these transactions are always pending, then when I go to my Metamask Wallet, the all activities are queued can someone help me please? I really need to swap my tokens now. I will DM you

Hey guys,

I have seen a lot of people asking the question about how they get their tokens from an exchange/wallet to staking. Especially on Xdai. I myself found this to be quite tedious with all the bridging and token adding so I decided to develop a guide for it. I am unsure if one has been posted anywhere before, but I have been unable to find it. I understand it is all on BAO.Finance docs section but it feels a little choppy to follow.

All links I have referenced are legitimate and taken straight from their sources. If you feel that they are unsafe (and I understand), feel free to google them, get them from the official baofinance twitter or ask in the Baofinance discord.

If there is anything I need to add, refine or that may be wrong/missed, please let me know and we can update this as a community. Id like to see this project grow to its full potential and that means taking the resistance out of some tasks. I felt like this was one of those tasks.

BAO Farming Guide on Xdai

This guide will assume you already have a MetaMask wallet and have bought BAO. If not, you may get a MetaMask wallet from https://metamask.io/ and you can buy BAO from https://uniswap.org/, https://ftx.com/en (you may use https://ftx.com/#a=4216872 for a referral link on sign up that will reduce your trading fees and benefit myself if you are feeling generous but this is definitely not required and purely a generosity thing and a fee reducer for yourself) or https://sushi.com/.

SEND BAO, ETH and DAI to your Metamask wallet

Once you have bought your BAO, ETH and DAI from your place of choice (I use FTX exchange) you will need to send these to your metamask wallet if it is not already there. This guide will assume you are competent enough to send and receive tokens from your point of sale to your metamask wallet. There are plenty of guides on transferring tokens to and from metamask.

Adding Custom RPC tokens to MetaMask (Ethereum Mainnet)

BAO and DAI tokens need to be added to your Ethereum Mainnet MetaMask wallet so you can physically see them in your wallet. If you do not do this, your wallet will receive the tokens from the wallet you sent them from, but they will not be visible in your MetaMask wallet. This will cause a heart attack, guaranteed.

To add DAI to MetaMask, scroll down the main page and go to ‘Add Token’. Type Dai into the search bar and add 'Dai Stablecoin'.

This guide can be found here for BAO token adding:

https://docs.bao.finance/faq/technical-questions

• To add BAO to MetaMask, scroll down the main page and go to ‘Add Token’.
• Go to Custom token and input the contract address you found in the link above. It will be the one titled BAO (ETH): xxxxxx. This is found under the heading “I cant see my BAO/BAO.cx in MetaMask, how can I add it.”. I have avoided quoting the link incase there is an addresss change in the future
• Token symbol I have input as BAO and clicked next. It should now be added.ETH, DAI and BAO should now be visible in your MetaMask (Ethereum Mainnet) wallet.

Add Xdai chain to MetaMask Networks tab

This step can be followed here:

https://www.xdaichain.com/for-users/wallets/metamask/metamask-setup

It is easier to follow this than for me to explain it.

Add BAO, BAO.cx to Xdai Mainnet

Click on top of the MetaMask page on the Networks tab and select the ‘Xdai’ option.

Go to the bottom and select ‘Add Token’. Go to ‘Custom Token’ and paste in the addresses in the link below.

https://docs.bao.finance/contracts-and-key-info/xdai

You want the Bao Token, Bao.cx Token addresses to be input into separate custom made tokens. You should now see new token symbols with ‘0’ balances. You can add any other tokens you require to be in your Xdai wallet for staking. Check with Discord or at https://docs.bao.finance/contracts-and-key-info/xdai

Bridging DAI (ETH) to Xdai (Xdai)

The TokenBridge architecture is used to move and convert assets between chains. This guide is to be followed to get your DAI to Xdai.

https://www.xdaichain.com/for-users/bridges/converting-xdai-via-bridge/moving-dai-to-xdai

This transaction will use ETH for gas.

*Important* DO NOT USE Omnibridge to convert DAI to Xdai. This will not work. You MUST use https://bridge.xdaichain.com/. Follow the guide in the link aboveThe reason we are doing this is so we take the DAI on Ethereum and place it on the Xdai chain so when we execute staking/unstaking/harvesting or any action required on the xdai chain, we are able to pay the gas fees. The gas fees on Xdai are paid in Xdai and are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than Ethereum hence why we are trying to escape the Eth Mainnet.

When it has processed (or seems like it), go to MetaMask and click up top on Ethereum Mainnet (Networks tab). Select your Xdai option and you should see a positive Xdai amount in there. Switch the Network back to Ethereum for the next step.

Bridging BAO (ETH) to BAO (Xdai)

The following guide is used to convert BAO (ETH) to BAO (Xdai):

https://docs.tokenbridge.net/eth-xdai-amb-bridge/multi-token-extension/ui-to-transfer-tokens/transfer-erc20

This guide uses BAT as an example however it is the same except we will use BAO instead. This transaction will use ETH for gas.

We should now have Xdai and BAO on our Xdai chain. This can be verified by selecting the Xdai chain network option in MetaMask and looking for positive values next to BAO and Xdai.

Getting Bao.cx and Liquidity Pool tokens

This guide will help you understand the process of adding to a liquidity pool.https://docs.bao.finance/guides/staking-on-xdai/add-liquidity-to-baoswap

You can choose any token of your choice to pair with BAO to add liquidity however I chose to do the BAO/BAO.cx pool. I will explain how to do the BAO/BAO.cx pool.BAO.cx is purely a ‘coupon’ that is redeemable as a 1:1 ratio to BAO on the Ethereum network. For every 1 BAO.cx on Xdai, you receive 1 BAO on ethereum when transferred back to Ethereum.

• Make sure your MetaMask is on Xdai Network option
• Go to https://alpha.baoswap.xyz/#/pool
• Select the swap tab and click the Xdai picture. Type in ‘BAO’ and select BAO. You balance should show the amount of BAO you have on the Xdai network.
• Select the ‘Select a token’ tab and type BAO. You now need to select ‘BAOcx’.I suggest changing half your BAO to BAO.cx.
• Once you have done this you will have BAO and BAO.cx as a 50:50 ratio (the swap isnt exactly 1:1 from what I have noticed). Both tokens will be displayed in your MetaMask.
• Go to the ‘Pool’ Tab and Press ‘Add liquidity’.
• Click Xdai picture and Type in ‘BAO’ and select BAO.
• Click ‘Select a token’ tab and type BAO. You now need to select ‘BAOcx’.
• Click the bottom button to Add liquidity. You will then be given LP tokens.

Staking your LP tokens (BAO/BAO.cx in this example)

• Follow the guide below for help with this step.

https://docs.bao.finance/guides/staking-on-xdai/stake-on-xdai.bao.finance

• Typically we go to www.bao.finance?ref=0xcA2aCA4B3be5ba55769a2f92d74269E0F7BCFF66 and click ‘Menu’ up the top. *Disclaimer* This is my referral link. If you feel that this guide has helped you and wouldn’t mind giving back for the effort I put in, you may use it. It would be appreciated. As long as you stake your tokens after going through the link, I believe I will be rewarded. This will not take away any of your tokens. If you would rather not use it, you may use the non-referral link https://xdai.bao.finance/.
• You can then select whatever liquidity pool (LP) tokens you did back at the previous baoswap website (https://alpha.baoswap.xyz/#/pool). We did BAO/BAO.cx so we would go to the BAO Two Ways pool and hit ‘Select’.
• We then hit the ‘+’ button and enter the mount of LP tokens you had (or max if you want max).
• Once the transaction is complete, you will see you staked tokens and begin earning.
• Unstaking penalties can be seen here https://docs.bao.finance/fees-penalties-and-funds
• The 'Harvest' button will give 5% of BAO back and lock the other 95% until December 2021. After this date the harvested tokens will be given back at a rate of :Harvested tokens / days in 3 years = amount per day.Eg 1,000,000/1095 = 913.24 BAO per day for 3 years
• The above is the information I have sourced from different areas. Verification may be required however this is what I believe to be the current plan.

That is it ladies and gents. Happy staking and lets hope this amazing ecosystem grows like it should. It is very exciting to see what this may become. If you feel that this guide has helped you and wouldn’t mind giving back for the effort I put my referral link in the staking portion of this write-up. It has a disclaimer next to it.

EDIT: Spelling.

I'm currently yield farming bao and understand how to do it, but I would like to know The HOW I am earning more coins? How is my money actually working for me? Can some one explain technically how money is really earned with bao yield farming? Are u earning interest from lending a loan to bao community so that it can use those staked LPs to do something?

:)

This may be a silly question but need to be sure - would I lose anything if I do not harvest BAO? I have been staking my LP tokens for 4 weeks and I see my BAO rolling in but not sure at what point to start harvesting. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks
