VITC is now on Terra (UST)!

Updated: May 22, 2022

Vitamin Coin (VITC) has just successfully been bridged to the Terra (UST) network!

Here's a quick guide on how you can bridge your VITC to the Terra (UST) network, and vice versa.

Cross-chain withdrawals (Vite network to Terra)

1. On a Terra (UST) compatible wallet, add the VITC token. Download Terra Station here: https://station.terra.money/

You can add the VITC token using the VITC contract address:

terra14vw4sfqwe7jw8ppcc7u44vq7hy9qa2nlstnxmu

For example, on Terra Station, select "Import Token", and enter the contract address:

2. Open your VITE app, and navigate to the VITC section. You will see Cross-Chain Deposit and Cross-Chain Withdrawals.

3. Click on Cross-Chain Withdrawal, and enter your Terra (UST) address. There is a small withdrawal fee of 20 VITC. Your VITC should be on the Terra (UST) network in a few minutes. (Note: the withdrawal fee is higher than that for the Harmony network, because of the higher fees associated with the Terra network.)

4. Once the token is added, you will see the amount of VITC that you have (which has been bridged from the Vite network) in your Terra (UST) compatible wallet.

5. You now can trade VITC for any token on the Terra (UST) network, using TerraSwap https://app.terraswap.io. Before you start trading, you will also need to add the VITC token to the TerraSwap app:

6. Now you can begin trading:

7. Please note that there is currently limited liquidity in the trading pair (VITC / UST). This means that big trades are going to have very big price impact. This means that if you make big trades, you will not get a good deal.

Cross-chain deposits (Terra network to Vite network)

When you are ready to bring your VITC home (back to the Vite network), you can do the following:

1. Open your Vite app, and navigate to the VITC section. Select "Cross-chain deposits". You will receive a Terra (UST) address

2. Transfer your VITC from your Terra (UST) wallet to this address.

3. You will receive your VITC back in your Vite app after a few minutes.

Liquidity and Liquidity Pools

Liquidity pools are a central component of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). The idea is simple: liquidity providers put their tokens into a big pool, managed by a smart contract. When people engage in trades, they add tokens to, or remove tokens from, these pools. For example, when you buy UST using VITC, what you are doing is putting your VITC tokens into the pool, and taking some UST tokens from it. The more tokens there are in the pool -- when there is more liquidity -- the less of a price impact will be caused by swaps and trades. That means, the price will be less volatile as a result of trades.

When providing liquidity, please do your own research.

Here is how you can add liquidity.

1. On TerraSwap, click "Provide". Then, click "Add Liquidity", and select VITC. If you do not see VITC, you can click "Import it", and add VITC using the contract address.

2. On the Add Liquidity page, select VITC/UST trading pair. Fill in the amount of VITC / UST that you want to provide.

3. And you're done. You will receive some Liquidity Pool tokens, which will look like this in your Terra Station wallet:

You will now receive a % of the trading fees. The more trades there are, the more fees you can get in principle.

Again, please do your own research before providing liquidity:
