Visual Guide

1. Stake DAI in the Union protocol

Staking is a lot like depositing. When you stake DAI in the Union protocol, you earn a proportional amount of UNION governance token each block.

2. Get three Vouches from members who trust you

Share your vouch link with Union members in your network. When someone vouches for you, they decide how much DAI they trust you to borrow and repay.

3. Pay the membership fee of one UNION token

Once you have earned at least one UNION, claim your rewards.
Burn 1 UNION to become a member, unlock benefits, and start building your credit network. This 'fee' is primarily to mitigate DoS attacks from clogging the network. You should be able to acquire 1 UNION by staking a small sum for about a week.
