# Mountain

> What Mountain is, the island, the words you need, and what switches on when.

## What Mountain is

Mountain is a set of smart contracts on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663), plus a site for using them. It has one token, CSM, with one official pool.

New CSM enters by a rule set in code, called **Forage**: a stream shared every second among Barns and bound goats, by weight. Forage builds up a balance, which becomes tokens only when you cash out. CSM leaves the supply for good when players buy Permits or pay tolls, and with half of every Gate fee. ETH from trading taxes and Barn lot sales goes to the Gatehouse, which splits it at the end of every Trek.

## The island

The site is an island map. Each place has a page: [Barn Application](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/apply.md), [Barn Raising](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/barn-raising.md), [Barns](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/barns.md), [Auctions](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/auctions.md), [Grazing](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/goats.md) for goats, [The Trek](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/treks.md), [Base Camp](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/trading.md) for trading, [The Gatehouse](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/fees.md) for fees, and [Hay Bales](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/built-off-today.md) (switched off today).

You can also walk the island as a villager. The walk is for display only. Each place opens the same page as on the map, and nothing you do on the walk moves tokens.

## Words you need

| Word | What it is |
| - | - |
| **CSM** | The token. It is capped at 666,000,000 CSM, and CSM that leaves the supply for good lowers that cap. It has no pause and no upgrade |
| **Barn** | Your place on the mountain. It has 10 stalls, and 1 is open from the start |
| **Deed** | The NFT that owns a Barn and its balance |
| **Stall Permit** | Opens one more stall. Permits are paid in CSM and sold in 12-hour rolls |
| **Goat, bind** | One of the 6,666 Goat Street goats. Binding moves a goat into Mountain for good |
| **Goat Bell** | The NFT you get for each goat bound into the goat escrow. It cannot be sold or moved |
| **Grazing, In Barn** | The two places a bound goat can be. A goat In Barn takes a stall and weighs 3x its Grazing weight, at launch settings. Bring In and Turn Out move a goat between them |
| **Herding toll** | CSM paid at a bind (the Grazing toll) and at later Bring Ins. It is burned |
| **Weight** | What sets your share of Forage. A stall weighs 1 |
| **Ledger** | The contract that keeps balances, streams Forage and pays cash-outs |
| **Trek, Season** | Mountain's clock. A Trek lasts 3 days at launch settings. The Season, from 0.20 to 1.25, scales Forage |
| **Gate fee, Herd Share** | A fee of 2% to 60% on every cash-out. Half of it streams back to all weight as the Herd Share |
| **Check in, reset** | Checking in keeps you active. After 90 idle days, anyone can reset your Barn or goat |

"At launch settings" means the value a setting has when the contracts start. The owner Safe (the team's Safe that owns the contracts) can change it within fixed limits. See [Roles](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/roles-and-settings.md).

## What switches on, and when

![What switches on, and in what order. No step has a date.](https://mintcdn.com/cashmerelabs/gqe8Cl9CXSN8tHne/images/mountain/live-when-light.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=gqe8Cl9CXSN8tHne\&q=85\&s=0b0eeca41ba0d6bdcbf805e40763ab08)

![What switches on, and in what order. No step has a date.](https://mintcdn.com/cashmerelabs/gqe8Cl9CXSN8tHne/images/mountain/live-when-phone-light.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=gqe8Cl9CXSN8tHne\&q=85\&s=ac0b9d1300525d681a1927e945e8ad24)

**1. Deploy**

Genesis mints 66,600,000 CSM to Base Camp, for liquidity in the Uniswap v4 pool, and 166,500,000 CSM to the Treasury Safe.

**2. The founding sale**

Up to 1,000 Barns are sold. See [The founding sale](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/barn-raising.md).

**3. The launch transaction**

Cashmere sends it after the sale ends. This is the TGE: trading opens, and the sale ETH is split.

**4. The launch hour**

This lasts 3,600 seconds. Both taxes start at 90% and fall to 2% on a buy and 3% on a sell. When this launch schedule ends, anyone can add liquidity. See [Trading](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/trading.md#the-launch-hour).

**5. The issuance start**

This is a one-time step by the owner Safe. It comes after the launch hour and has no deadline. Forage, Trek 1 and Barn cash-outs start.

**6. One hour later**

Stall Permits, Barn lots, Shepherd order fills, goat binds and Bring In open. Raising Week, the first 7 days, begins.

> [!WARNING]
>
> There are two different hours. The launch hour is the pool's first hour. Binds and Permits open one hour after the issuance start, which comes later.

Still off at launch: Barn Deed transfers and the secondary market (these can be enabled at any time in the future), Salt Lick and Salt Block (deployed but paused), and Hay Bales and drops. See [Built, off today](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/built-off-today.md).

> [!WARNING]
>
> Nothing here is an offer. Nothing here is advice. Mountain is not open in some places or to some people. The [founding sale's notice](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/barn-raising.md#not-an-offer) names them. Read [Risks](https://docs.cashmere.exchange/mountain/risks.md) and the [Terms of Use](https://terms.cashmere.exchange/).
