# GSU Protocol l Testnet Guide By [AirdropsCaptain.eth 🦇🔊 | AirdropsCaptain.lens 🌿](https://paragraph.com/@airdropscaptain) · 2022-12-16 --- The [GSU Protocol](https://www.gsuprotocol.io/) project presents a stablecoin-related solution aiming to protect the purchasing power, sovereignty and equity of users by shifting away from a single point of value determination. Currently on Testnet, we can interact with it using our Metamask on Göerli Network to secure a tester POAP, some roles, a potential reward for our contribution and as a bonus, an Early Pass NFT. Without further ado, let’s see how to do it 👇 > 1. What is GSU Protocol? > > 2. Tokenomics & Roadmap > > 3. Testnet Tutorial > > 4. POAP & Roles > > 5. Early Pass NFT > > 6. Conclusion > 1\. What is GSU Protocol ------------------------ GSU Protocol is the CDP lending protocol for Global Stable Unit ([GSU](https://www.gsu.io/)). It allows users to perform the issuance of **GSU** coins (**GSUc**) based on collateral provided. It is built from a fork of Maker Protocol due to its robustness stability and security. GSU Protocol’s distributes **$GSUc** stablecoin through an overcollateralized debt position of crypto assets (initially $ETH, $WBTC).

Tokenomics & Roadmap ------------------------ [CDP protocols](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/collateralized-debt-position-cdp) are one of the few segments in the crypto ecosystem with a well-documented and stable pricing model. Pricing of a CDP protocol most often ranges between 11%-22% of Total Value Locked (TVL). However, the GSU team ambition is to reach a TVL equal to 50% of the leading Maker within the first 12 months. > _As we issue a GSU reference token, and not a USD reference token, we will not be in competition with the other protocols, but rather represent an opportunity for collaboration and growth._ ![GSU Protocol Tokenomics](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/b5d2c643c4e0687c4819499dafc147d924f1cc09f78f6002c0dada97d1aedde3.png) GSU Protocol Tokenomics For the Roadmap, we can see that we are currently around week 44: the Testnet phase. The Mainnet is scheduled for Q1 2023 so we still have a couple of weeks to perform the actions below. **Note:** This is a **Tentative roadmap** & the team is planning to release a new one soon. ![Tentative Roadmap 2022 - Currently around week 44](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c83a6393affdca50a5ea78b8231c41b419f439666c08bb1d89dd0a72e9d2282b.png) Tentative Roadmap 2022 - Currently around week 44 3\. Testnet Tutorial -------------------- To perform tasks on the [website](https://gsucoin.app/?network=goerli#borrow), you’ll need **at least** 0.8 - 1 gETH on the Göerli Networ**k**. You can use the faucets below to receive your test tokens: > * [fauceth.komputing.org](https://fauceth.komputing.org/?chain=5) > > * [faucet.goerli.mudit.blog](https://faucet.goerli.mudit.blog/) > > * [goerli-faucet.pk910.de](https://goerli-faucet.pk910.de/) (Mining) > > * [faucet.triangleplatform.com](https://faucet.triangleplatform.com/) > If you are still facing issue claiming tokens, you can contact the team on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/GSUcoin): ![Twitter handle: @GSUcoin](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6d99d699a3bc2b33124fed1576793cfa3e9f8ceb2e4d85c0de86e89403f9527f.png) Twitter handle: @GSUcoin Once you received the tokens, you can start to interact with the platform: * Go to [gsucoin.app](https://gsucoin.app/?network=goerli#borrow) website & connect your wallet (Göerli Network). * Add GSUc token => [0x252D98faB648203AA33310721bBbDdfA8F1b6587](https://goerli.etherscan.io/address/0x252D98faB648203AA33310721bBbDdfA8F1b6587) * Click on “**Borrow**”. ![Connect Wallet - Add GSUc - Click on Borrow](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0eff8ae6390b1682719616fd449bfe5083ec248460e4f2af6ef201d7d0686ea5.png) Connect Wallet - Add GSUc - Click on Borrow * Click on the “**Borrow**” button & sign the message => **“Continue”**. ![Borrow & Accept Terms of Service](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/68624bce8d94a3bfa98baefaed24eb49b6aebd933b5e12fffdc87f5c49da7956.png) Borrow & Accept Terms of Service * Type **minimum** 0.8 gETH (at least 520 [$GSUc](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GSUc&src=cashtag_click) needs to be generated in the next step) => Confirm transaction & Create Vault. ![Minimum 520 $GSUc needs to be generated](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/335825cc21401be2616cee31a155b8fa0645a7437526bb74cba02e865473c6be.png) Minimum 520 $GSUc needs to be generated * Move to “**My Positions**” and click on “**Edit Vault**”. * Select “**GSUc**” * Click on “**Generate**” & type **“520 $GSUc”** => Confirm your transaction. ![Generating $GSUc: My positions - Generate - 520 $GSUc - Confirm](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/97db868c5560eafab8c4dcb7e08d187d3d6ff427c7e777727953a2d21f2a42ec.png) Generating $GSUc: My positions - Generate - 520 $GSUc - Confirm * Now we choose “**Payback**” & type “**20 $GSUc**” => Confirm your transaction. ![Repaying Vault: Payback - 20 $GSUs - Confirm](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1460b4244e0eba36700401654d4caf3ae8fa5edb6c767a0051b3e32229b0111c.png) Repaying Vault: Payback - 20 $GSUs - Confirm In this step, the idea is to fully repay our debt. In order to do that, you need to have more GSUc than the amount you have borrowed. If you don’t have enough, here is how do you get it? * Visit Uniswap (Göerli Network): [app.uniswap.org/#/swap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap) * Paste the contract address: [0x252D98faB648203AA33310721bBbDdfA8F1b6587](https://goerli.etherscan.io/address/0x252D98faB648203AA33310721bBbDdfA8F1b6587) * Swap some ETH to GSUc ![Get GSUc on Uniswap Göerli](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/e5e71aa24f7663be1f4de5b058a9164693416a5c564d00dab6a797cc75934fc9.png) Get GSUc on Uniswap Göerli You can now repay your full debt if you want to & withdraw back your collateral to experiment more the protocol or other vaults. ![Repay your full debt.](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/104572df83b5b8d98192fd0afd62532d29cf5d420bb2e2cddc43b9182552a103.png) Repay your full debt.

Conclusion -------------- Congratulations Pirates, another testnet completed about an ambitious project willing to beat all fiat/crypto currencies in price stability. The majority of the existing stablecoins peg to the US dollar, and so are affected by the same economic policies and parameters that apply to their fiat-counterparts. Seeing a project willing to change that is worth our attention. **We advice you to perform the free actions above to secure your POAP, roles and a GSU Early Pass NFT.** Credentials are a way for projects to recognize contributions of the community with immutable on-chain data, so we can be sure that it won’t be forgotten or unverifiable retroactively..
