Now you need to specify how much additional USDFC you want to mint.
In the adjustment interface, locate the "Collateral" and "Net debt" input fields
Enter the amount of USDFC you want to mint
The system will automatically calculate your new collateral ratio
Ensure your new collateral ratio remains above the minimum required (typically 110%)

Before confirming, review all transaction details carefully.

After the transaction is confirmed, verify that your USDFC was minted successfully.
Check that your Trove details have been updated with the new debt amount
Verify that the additional USDFC has been added to your wallet balance
If you don't see the additional USDFC in your wallet, you may need to refresh or check your transaction history

Now that you've minted USDFC, you can:
Transaction Failed: Ensure you have enough FIL for gas fees and that your collateral ratio meets the minimum requirement
Cannot Mint More USDFC: You may have reached the maximum debt for your current collateral amount
High Gas Fees: Try again when network congestion is lower or adjust your gas settings
Q: Is there a limit to how much USDFC I can mint? A: The amount of USDFC you can mint is limited by your collateral amount and the minimum collateral ratio requirement.
Q: Are there any fees for minting USDFC? A: Yes, there is a small minting fee that varies based on the current base rate. This fee helps maintain the stability of the protocol.
Q: How does minting more USDFC affect my liquidation risk? A: Minting more USDFC without adding collateral increases your debt, which lowers your collateral ratio and increases your liquidation risk.
Q: Can I mint USDFC in small increments? A: Yes, you can mint USDFC in any amount as long as your collateral ratio remains above the minimum requirement.
