# Mint Process Guide - Learn More By [Apus Network](https://paragraph.com/@apus-network) · 2024-12-19 --- APUS Mint Process Guide ======================= The APUS mint process is now **fully immutable** within a Fair Launch Process (FLP) following the carefully designed emission curve outlined in our whitepaper [here](https://yoiqojo25iwvlwjsftpnv5jvzvtqvaguciaeewl4cfe5b7inqpnq.arweave.net/w5EHJdrqLVXZMize2vU1zWcKgNQSAEJZfBFJ0P0Ng9s). [https://yoiqojo25iwvlwjsftpnv5jvzvtqvaguciaeewl4cfe5b7inqpnq.arweave.net/w5EHJdrqLVXZMize2vU1zWcKgNQSAEJZfBFJ0P0Ng9s](https://yoiqojo25iwvlwjsftpnv5jvzvtqvaguciaeewl4cfe5b7inqpnq.arweave.net/w5EHJdrqLVXZMize2vU1zWcKgNQSAEJZfBFJ0P0Ng9s) How to Mint Apus? ================= Prerequisite: DAI or stETH bridged from Ethereum to the AO Mint Contract **OR** holding AR and therefore minting AO _If you are unfamiliar with the AO mint bridge, please read the following documentation and ensure your assets are bridged to AO before proceeding._ [https://mirror.xyz/0x1EE4bE8670E8Bd7E9E2E366F530467030BE4C840/-UWra0q0KWecSpgg2-c37dbZ0lnOMEScEEkabVm9qaQ](https://mirror.xyz/0x1EE4bE8670E8Bd7E9E2E366F530467030BE4C840/-UWra0q0KWecSpgg2-c37dbZ0lnOMEScEEkabVm9qaQ) If your assets are successfully bridged to AO, you are ready to start minting APUS. Once you open the [Mint page](https://www.apus.network/#/mint) , you must connect your Arweave address. This address must be the same address being used to receive AO. Once your wallet is connected, you will be able to select a percentage of your AO yield to delegate to APUS. _The minimum you can choose is 5% of your AO yield, there is no maximum._ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1702a7d755a64127bd87679b895889077cf1c095ff160b875ccacc2df4192bce.png) Use the sliding bar to select the percentage of your AO yield you wish to dele to Mint APUS. **Please note that it is important to remember that you will no longer receive AO, and will begin receiving APUS instead.** ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/9cb7cdb4918a11d483bc2a6c04f9a9c03856e14e7e0ed19de795d9ae5442cef4.png) _The amount of APUS you receive will vary depending on the total amount of AO allocated to mint APUS, and the actual amount received could be greater or lesser than the number displayed. A live prediction will be displayed on your dashboard which will change as assets are allocated to or removed from minting APUS_ Once you have selected your desired percentage, you will need to click ‘Add Allocation’. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6c60ccc8c66c5cebf13a86c454e0e9f45d13a0f6dc6a2e337480c357ff9b87c1.png) Once selected, your Arweave wallet of choice will ask you to sign a message to confirm you wish to update your percentage allocation to APUS. **Congratulations! Your allocation is now made and you are now receiving minted APUS!** On the Dashboard you will be able to see the amount of APUS received, and the predicted amount of APUS you will receive over the following 30-day period. _As mentioned before, this number will vary and is likely to be volatile during the early days of minting going live - please check regularly if you wish to maintain an up-to-date expectation of the number of APUS to be received._ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1fe1a4130fecb406927ba6a365672a00d8c568935b9b7103252a8264df8057c1.png) How to Remove Allocations from Minting APUS? ============================================ _There is no lockup or hold on assets and the allocation can be removed at any point. To remove assets from minting APUS._ Simply follow the steps above and select ‘0%’ and ‘save changes’. You are no longer receiving minted APUS and will revert to receiving AO! APUS Token ========== Token Process ID: _mqBYxpDsolZmJyBdTK8TJp\_ftOuIUXVYcSQ8MYZdJg0_ [https://www.ao.link/#/token/mqBYxpDsolZmJyBdTK8TJp\_ftOuIUXVYcSQ8MYZdJg0](https://www.ao.link/#/token/mqBYxpDsolZmJyBdTK8TJp_ftOuIUXVYcSQ8MYZdJg0) **Permaweb Index (PI) and AO Yield Direct From AO Mint Page** **Permaweb Index (PI)** Forward research has launched the Permaweb Index as of 14/03/2025. Instead of bridged assets yielding AO, they can now yield PI instead. PI is a token that consists of 1/3 AO, 1/3 AR, and 1/3 ecosystem fair launch project tokens. This will include APUS, however it will be a small part of the yield. PI does allow exposure to the entire AO fair launch ecosystem, including APUS. More info can be found [here](https://ao.arweave.net/#/mint/yield/). ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/e979d2ec84d2b4e36b1dd3e57b7ace56ba00fc3c5f6d152e81b7695d97907af7.png) **Direct Yield - APUS from AO Mint Page** It is now possible to delegate to APUS directly from the AO mint page! To start, simply head to the AO Yield page linked here: [https://ao.arweave.net/#/mint/yield/](https://ao.arweave.net/#/mint/yield/) You will find a list of the fair launch projects on AO including APUS. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ed5789896824753c0cc87dfcbda56e3510644f0ac0a9bb657f72d0c2e896c475.png) On the right side of the page, you can set your custom allocation and save it - this can be 100% APUS, 50/50 APUS and AO, or a custom mix of other ecosystem tokens. If you prefer to delegate your AO here instead of our mint page you will still receive the same number of APUS tokens as if you delegate directly from the Apus Network website mint page. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/d38b5a476410f6e5bf374949c2de036f10ba50b85a27558fcaf40e1cde1a14bf.png) Although APUS will be being minted and received from our TGE on Dec 23rd, 2024 at 9am PDT, 12pm EDT, 5pm UTC, 6pm CDT, 1am China (Dec 24th)). At the listed time the token will not be transferable until 14/03/2025. **APUS on PermaSwap!** You can now buy and sell APUS on PermaSwap here: [https://www.permaswap.network/#/ao/0syT13r0s0tgPmIed95bJnuSqaD29HQNN8D3ElLSrsc%26mqBYxpDsolZmJyBdTK8TJp\_ftOuIUXVYcSQ8MYZdJg0?tab=swap](https://www.permaswap.network/#/ao/0syT13r0s0tgPmIed95bJnuSqaD29HQNN8D3ElLSrsc%26mqBYxpDsolZmJyBdTK8TJp_ftOuIUXVYcSQ8MYZdJg0?tab=swap) ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/d0adfe8f5962689cdd31c88d455215a22f2724d696e5776a2ae07d2b441b870c.png) **_Disclaimer: This is a fully decentralized process and Apus Network has no control to reverse any action made by mistake by the user.
