# Mainframe Override {% embed url="" %} Welcome to the **Mainframe Override**, Palladium’s mainnet campaign — a limited-access mission to reclaim financial sovereignty through Bitcoin-backed stablecoins. This guide will help you navigate the campaign, earn rewards, and progress through the ranks. *** ### 🧠 Mission Brief *For too long, we’ve been trapped in systems designed to control us — opaque stablecoins, centralized banks, and financial actors pulling strings behind the curtain. The Override is our counter-signal — a live operation to reclaim control by turning idle Bitcoin into censorship-resistant liquidity. But not everyone gets in. Access is encrypted. Roles are earned. The mission is underway.* *To participate, users must initiate a Trove — depositing BTC and borrowing $PUSD, a decentralized stablecoin backed by the hardest money known. Completing missions unlocks collectible artifacts, earns Bytes, and moves you up the ranks — from Cipher to Neo. The deeper your contribution, the stronger your signal. The system favors early action, but only the most awakened will reach the core.* *** ### 🔑 What is the Mainframe Override? The Mainframe Override is a high-impact, gamified campaign that marks the launch of Palladium on Botanix Mainnet. It’s not just about borrowing — it’s a mission to reclaim control from centralized systems by turning idle Bitcoin into a censorship-resistant, yield-bearing digital dollar: **$PUSD** and **$yPUSD**. *** ### 🎯 Core Objective Borrow against BTC. Earn rewards. Climb the Ranks. Override the system. *** ### 🧩 How It Works #### 1. Open a Trove Deposit BTC as collateral to borrow $PUSD — your permissionless, Bitcoin-backed stablecoin. Troves are your personal vaults. No Trove = no participation. #### 2. Earn Bytes Collect Bytes (points) by performing key actions like borrowing and staking $PUSD, LPing in target DEX pools, and more. Your total Bytes = **Base Rewards × Rank Multiplier × Compression Modifier**. More information below. #### 3. Climb Ranks Your **Rank** increases with the total $PUSD you’ve borrowed across all sessions. Each Rank unlocks a **Multiplier** that boosts the Bytes you earn. #### 4. Compression Stages Base reward emissions reduce as the total $PUSD in circulation increases, similar to Bitcoin’s halving mechanism. Each time the supply **doubles**, rewards **compress** by 8% from the previous level. #### 5. Unlock Modules Modules are campaign collectibles that can only be earned by completing special tasks, such as: * Hitting defined milestones * Interacting with ecosystem apps * Completing time-bound challenges Each Module is a digital badge of your contribution to the Override and may unlock future utility. #### 6. Invitation to Participate Access is restricted. Only users who were qualified for the **Ascension NFT** and minted it during the Circuit Breaker campaign can join directly. Everyone else must acquire an **Override Code** from existing participants. If you already hold an Ascension NFT, the system will recognize you — no code needed. Once logged in, you’ll receive your **Override Code** to share with others. *** ### 📊 Base Rewards All Bytes begin with a **base reward** — multipliers from your Rank are applied on top. Here’s how you earn base Bytes at **Stage 1**: * **Deposit BTC as collateral** — *20 Bytes per day per 1,000 sats deposited* * **Borrow $PUSD** — *1,000 Bytes for every $PUSD borrowed* * **Deposit in Yield Vault (mint yPUSD)** — *20 Bytes/day for each PUSD held in the vault* These are the **launch base rewards for Stage 1**. As the system enters new **Compression Stages**, base rewards will drop by **8% compared to the previous stage**. *** ### 📈 Ranks & Boosters

Your Rank is tied to your **cumulative** $PUSD borrowed across all Troves — even if you repay and borrow again. *** ### 💾 Compression Stages | Stage | $PUSD in Circulation | Base Reward Compression | | ----- | -------------------- | ----------------------- | | 1 | 0–499,999 | 100% | | 2 | 500,000–999,999 | 92% | | 3 | 1,000,000–1,999,999 | 85% | | 4 | 2,000,000–3,999,999 | 78% | | 5 | 4,000,000+ | 72% | As thresholds are crossed, the system automatically transitions to the next stage, reducing base rewards accordingly. ⚠️ *Compression stages may change as new glitches surface. The system is dynamic.* *** ### 🧠 FAQs #### Who can participate? Only wallets holding an Ascension NFT can access the campaign directly. Others must use an invite code shared by participants. #### What if I already hold an Ascension NFT? No invite code is needed. The system will automatically recognize your address and grant access. You’ll also receive an Awakening Code to share with others. #### Can I repay and re-borrow to increase my Rank? Yes. Rank is based on **cumulative** PUSD borrowed, not current outstanding debt. #### What are Bytes used for? Bytes determine your total share of rewards from the campaign. More Bytes = more rewards. #### How are rewards calculated? Your base actions (borrowing, referrals, staking, LPing, etc.) earn you Bytes. Your **Rank Multiplier** boosts this amount. For example: If you borrow and earn 1,000 Bytes as per Base rewards at Rank 3 (1.5× multiplier), during compression stage 2 (92% modifier), your net Bytes = 1000 x 1.5x 0.92 = 1380. #### What are Modules? Modules are collectible badges you earn by completing specific challenges, like hitting defined milestones, using ecosystem apps, or unlocking hidden tasks. They are proof of participation and hold future utility. #### What’s yPUSD? When you stake your $PUSD into the Stability Vault, you receive $yPUSD — a yield-bearing version of $PUSD. It grows in value as the protocol earns from liquidations and trading. #### What happens after the campaign? Mainframe Override ends at TGE (Token Generation Event). Rewards will be claimable post-TGE based on your total Bytes. Certain Modules and Ranks may also unlock access to future initiatives. #### How do I get the latest updates?
