Now that $RMRK is registered in Karura's app UI and the chain recognizes it, it is time to bootstrap a pool and get some liquidity going. For this, we propose the following parameters, more or less directly copied from Karura's BNC launch but adapted to both a KSM and a kUSD pool. 

## Proposal 1

* Enable Bootstrap for RMRK/kUSD pool at #1,381,000 (estimated Monday, 24th Jan)
* **48 hours** of bootstrapping period ends at #1,394,000 (estimated Wed, 26th Jan)
* Minimum liquidity target is **10,000 RMRK** OR **250,000 kUSD**
* Minimum contribution requirement is **0.1 RMRK** OR **1 kUSD**

No trading is allowed during Bootstrap, and trading can only be enabled once the following criteria are met:

* Not Before the ending block has passed AND
* Either the pool has **10,000 RMRK** OR **250,000 kUSD** in liquidity
* Both RMRK & kUSD has >0 liquidity

If this referendum passes, and Bootstrap kicks off:

* You can contribute liquidity for RMRK, or kUSD, or RMRK & kUSD at the same time. The actual exchange rate of RMRK/kUSD can only be known once the Bootstrap is completed .
* At the time of your contribution, you are allocated a number of LP tokens, and indicative LP shares of the pool, which are subject to change as more liquidity is added.
* **You should only participate if you want to become a liquidity provider for the pool. Please be aware of** [ **various risks** ](https://wiki.acala.network/karura/defi-hub/swap/lp-returns-and-risks) **associated with being a liquidity provider** .

## Proposal 2

* Enable Bootstrap for RMRK/KSM pool at block 1,381,000 (estimated Monday, 24th Jan)
* **48 hours** of bootstrapping period ends at block #1,394,000 (estimated Wed, 26th Jan)
* Minimum liquidity target is **10,000 RMRK** OR **1000 KSM**
* Minimum contribution requirement is **0.1 RMRK** OR **0.05 KSM**

No trading is allowed during Bootstrap, and trading can only be enabled once the following criteria are met:

* Not Before block the ending block has passed AND
* Either the pool has **10,000 RMRK** OR **1000 KSM** in liquidity
* Both RMRK & KSM has >0 liquidity

If this referendum passes, and Bootstrap kicks off:

* You can contribute liquidity for RMRK, or KSM, or RMRK & KSM at the same time. The actual exchange rate of RMRK/KSM can only be known once the Bootstrap is completed .
* At the time of your contribution, you are allocated a number of LP tokens, and indicative LP shares of the pool, which are subject to change as more liquidity is added.
* **You should only participate if you want to become a liquidity provider for the pool. Please be aware of** [ **various risks** ](https://wiki.acala.network/karura/defi-hub/swap/lp-returns-and-risks) **associated with being a liquidity provider** .

## Incentives
There will be an LP incentive program. Details will be announced soon!

SubSquare has proposed two plans to bootstrap pools for RMRK tokens. Here are the details:

1. Proposal 1: Bootstrap for RMRK/kUSD pool
- The bootstrapping period will start on January 24th and end on January 26th.
- The minimum liquidity target is 10,000 RMRK or 250,000 kUSD.
- The minimum contribution requirement is 0.1 RMRK or 1 kUSD.
- Trading is not allowed during the bootstrapping period.
- Once the pool has 10,000 RMRK or 250,000 kUSD in liquidity, trading can be enabled.

2. Proposal 2: Bootstrap for RMRK/KSM pool
- The bootstrapping period will start on January 24th and end on January 26th.
- The minimum liquidity target is 10,000 RMRK or 1000 KSM.
- The minimum contribution requirement is 0.1 RMRK or 0.05 KSM.
- Trading is not allowed during the bootstrapping period.
- Once the pool has 10,000 RMRK or 1000 KSM in liquidity, trading can be enabled.

If you want to participate in either pool, you can contribute liquidity for RMRK, kUSD, KSM, or RMRK & KSM at the same time. You will be allocated a number of LP tokens and indicative LP shares of the pool. However, you should only participate if you want to become a liquidity provider for the pool and are aware of the various risks associated with it.

There will be an LP incentive program, but the details have not been announced yet.

- People who put in money will get tokens that they can use later to trade.
- There are some risks involved, so people should read about them before putting in money.
- There are also rewards for people who put in money, but they have to wait for a certain time to get them.
