# Minting

### Minting $BEEFS

Ready to beef up your portfolio? Slap down your $BERA and mint $BEEFS faster than a grill heats up in summer. \
A 2.5% minting fee fattens the $BERA backing per $BEEFS, ensuring that every mint strengthens the protocol. With a hard cap of 100 billion tokens, once we hit the ceiling—it's burn season, baby.

#### Why Mint?

✅ **Stake, farm, and leverage**\
✅ Watch your **$BEEFS become rarer**\
✅ **Transparent fees** keep the BBQ running without mystery meat

#### How It Works:

1. Deposit $BERA into the Beefs Finance protocol.
2. Receive freshly minted $BEEFS at the current floating rate.
3. A 2.5% fee is applied, directly boosting both LP rewards and $BERA backing.
4. Over time, this process **increases the $BERA per $BEEFS ratio**, making every token more valuable.

Pro Tip: Mint early, enjoy juicier yields later. The meat gets rarer with every mint!&#x20;
