During the debt phase, 50% of minted *CHIPS* coins will be sent to the treasury for *MPEAS* holders to participate in bond redemption. * No discount for bond purchases, but the premium bonus for bond redemptions occurs if users wait for *CHIPS* coins to increase over the 1 *BETH* peg. **Participate in CHIPS farming.** To participate in the protocol, visit the *CHIPS Menu* and select your preferred pool. **Participate in the Deep Fat Fryer (Boardroom).** *Deep Fat Fryer (Boardroom)* opens 9 days after the launch date and the first seigniorage will take place 6 hours after that. *Countdown:*
