# Incentives for HODLing CHIPS Stablecoins

Our aim is to keep *CHIPS* coin price above peg **for as long as** possible. 

We aim is to do this in 5 ways:

1. A special *FISH* pool which we call the ***ChipSwap*** has been added to the protocol. We noticed that in most other algorithmic stablecoins, people are selling their token for profit, which eventually kills the project. Instead, we allow you to *swap* your *CHIPS* coins for *FISH* shares. This will also burn the *CHIPS* coins thus keeping their supply low. So now you never need to sell your *CHIPS* coins. **This is a big part of our project.**
2. Once below peg a new pool opens up, *MPEAS/CHIPS* which mints *FISH* shares.
3. Using fees applied at various staking/unstaking times to allow purchasing and burning of *CHIPS* coins by *DAO*. 
4. Addition of fees for withdrawing *FISH* shares from the *Boardroom*. For example, there is a **10% fee** on withdrawal of *FISH shares* from the *Boardroom* when their price is below 1.05 *ETH*.\
   \
   **Please note that an EPOCH has to start ABOVE 1.05 ETH in order for you to withdraw without the tax.** <br>
5. &#x20;*MPEAS* bonds which burn the supply of *CHIPS* coins on purchase, on contraction only.

We also aim to have *buy-pressure* on some well-known vaults shortly after we go live.

More details on these new pools and staking fees to come.
