# Summary

This proposal will start the [bootstraping](https://wiki.acala.network/karura/defi-hub/swap/bootstrap-a-pool) period for trading pair BNC/kUSD on Karura Swap.

## Proposal

* Enable Bootstrap for KSM/kUSD pool at block **#782000** (est. 2021/10/19 13:00 UTC)
* **48 hours** of bootstrapping period ends at **#795800** (est. 2021/10/21 13:00 UTC)
* Minimum liquidity target is **20,000 BNC** OR **200,000 kUSD**
* Minimum contribution requirement is **0.1 BNC** OR **1 kUSD**

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

* The **`Not Before`** block #795800 (est. 2021/10/21 1300 UTC) has passed AND
* Either the pool has **20,000 BNC** OR **200,000 kUSD** in liquidity
* Both BNC & kUSD has >0 liquidity

If this referendum passes, and Bootstrap kicks off:

* It will start block #782000 till #795800 (roughly 48 hours)
* **NO trading is allowed** during this period
* You can contribute liquidity for BNC, or kUSD, or BNC & kUSD at the same time. The actual exchange rate of BNC/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** .


**Note:** Please read carefully [how the Bootstrap works ](https://wiki.acala.network/karura/defi-hub/swap/bootstrap-a-pool), and [various risks ](https://wiki.acala.network/karura/defi-hub/swap/lp-returns-and-risks) associated with being a liquidity provider.

If you just want to trade, then please wait till the trading is enabled.
