**Introducing tCHOKE - Artichoke’s LSD token.**

tCHOKE allows users to turn their Liquidity Provider NFTs into a liquid asset by simply staking them on Artichoke.

**_Here is how it works:_**

Firstly, the user must hold a CamelotDEX spNFT position - for a detailed guide on LP-ing on Camelot, please refer to their documentation [here](https://docs.camelot.exchange/get-started/camelot-tutorials/providing-liquidity-overview).

Once that requirement is met:

*   Navigate to the Artichoke portal: app.articho.ke
    
*   Deposit your spNFT into Artichoke respective Tail for the asset of your choice
    
*   Once deposited, the UI will show how much tChoke is available for minting (usually 50% USD value of the deposited position)
    

**_Example:_**

You deposit **2000 USDC** worth of ETH-USDC - you can now mint approximately **1000 USDC** worth of tCHOKE.

Upon minting, tCHOKE will be automatically sent to your wallet and can then be held, used for further liquidity provision or swapped on the tCHOKE/CHOKE liquidity pool.

**Important details regarding tCHOKE minting:**

*   tCHOKE is subject to a **debt ceiling**, meaning only a specific amount of tCHOKE can be minted on the [omnipool](https://mirror.xyz/0xcC1fa08268a25E4d7627cCB95f939C96e0ad9C8D/MCnpDkDrY-EMRKL0KBeLF5PGeBf1onQerLQk95F8taA)
    

_This cap will ensure the protocol will work in a safe way without compromising omnipool’s overall health._

*   tCHOKE is **freely tradable** - you don’t need to mint in order to buy or sell it
    
*   the **tCHOKE : CHOKE** ratio will be '1/$CHOKE Price’ and will be “floating” - as in following both CHOKE and tCHOKE price variations
    

This initial deployment of tCHOKE is part of our 2-Phase roll-out plan for the Artichoke Onmnipool - read more about it [here.](https://mirror.xyz/0xcC1fa08268a25E4d7627cCB95f939C96e0ad9C8D/MCnpDkDrY-EMRKL0KBeLF5PGeBf1onQerLQk95F8taA)

**_Important: tCHOKE is not yet live on Arbitrum mainnet, please do not follow any links shared anywhere except on the official Twitter (@artichoke\_fi)._**
