How to Bake $BREAD

Baking deposits xDAI into the Solidarity Fund and mints an equal amount of $BREAD in return. The rate is always 1:1. Your deposit generates yield for the network, but the deposit itself stays yours.

You’ll need a wallet connected to the Solidarity Fund app with some xDAI in it. If you haven’t connected yet, see Connecting a Wallet.

Steps

Section titled “Steps”
  1. Open the Bake tab.
  2. Enter the amount of xDAI you want to bake. The $BREAD field updates automatically to match.
  3. Click Bake. Your wallet will open a transaction window.
  4. Review the transaction before signing:
    • The xDAI amount going in matches what you entered
    • The $BREAD amount coming out matches, 1 for 1
    • The action is labelled “mint”
  5. Sign the transaction.

The Solidarity Fund is a smaller application, so your wallet may flag the interaction as unfamiliar or show an “Unknown Signature Type” warning. This is normal. If anything looks genuinely wrong, ask in the Bread Cooperative Discord before signing.

Network fees

Section titled “Network fees”

Transactions on Gnosis Chain may carry a small network fee, shown before you sign. The default fee is fine to leave as-is.
