## Overview

The Mint tab is where you can mint [USK](/dapps-and-infrastructure/usk-stablecoin.md), which is a stablecoin pegged to the value of the US dollar, for a yearly 1% fee on all minted USK.

## Utility

Minting USK allows users to A. take advantage of price arbitrage if USK is worth more than a dollar by converting it to other assets and slowly unwinding positions, B. use preferred backing assets of choice to enter a leveraged bet, C. use preferred backing assets in combination with money markets to perform delta neutral leveraged bets, D. use USK in [ORCA](/dapps-and-infrastructure/orca.md) markets to buy liquidated collateral at a discount, E. use USK to provide liquidity in [BOW](/dapps-and-infrastructure/bow.md) and obtain rewards from trading activity and incentives, or F. borrow against owned assets to raise capital without needing to liquidate them to preserve upside. &#x20;

## Learn more

When minting USK positions using multiple types of collateral, each backing collateral asset reflects a distinct USK mint position with its own loan-to-value or risk ratio.
