What happens when you withdraw CSM from a Mountain Barn? Your token balance goes down, but some active stalls also close. Here is a simple example of the published Mountain rules from @cashmerelabs. A Barn is a digital structure with stalls. Its original stall and extra paid stalls, called Permit stalls, determine its share of newly issued CSM, the project’s token. Imagine Nora has four active stalls: the original one and three Permit stalls. Her Barn holds 1,000 CSM. There are no goats in this example. Nora makes a partial withdrawal by choosing to close one Permit stall. One out of four means she withdraws a quarter of the balance: 250 CSM before fees. A withdrawal fee called the Gate fee is deducted from those 250 CSM, so less reaches her wallet. This fee varies with recent withdrawals across the system. Her Barn keeps 750 CSM and three active stalls. That is why the picture shows four open doors "before" and only three "after." The remaining stalls continue earning a share of new CSM. The closed stall stops contributing. Daily earnings are not fixed. If Nora wants to reopen that stall, she must buy another Permit. The cost of her previous Permit is not refunded. These numbers are an illustrative example, not a live transaction. Before withdrawing, I would check how much reaches my wallet after the fee, how many stalls stay active, and what it would cost to reopen the one I close.

Good night, @Pact_Swap community 🌛

Emma buys a Mountain Barn. A little later, the price drops. "Did I pay too much?" In the planned public sale from @cashmerelabs, her first receipt does not necessarily show her final cost. The auction price falls over time. But all public buyers ultimately pay the same final price for their Barns, with any difference returned after the sale. Imagine Emma pays 0.6 ETH. The founding sale then sells out, with the last public purchase at 0.4 ETH. Cashmere would return her 0.2 ETH. These are example amounts, not an actual sale result. If all 1,000 founding Barns sell, the last public purchase sets the final price. If they do not, the final price is 0.25 ETH. One detail matters: the team sends this refund after the sale ends. It does not arrive the moment the displayed price drops. For me, that changes how the falling price reads. Waiting may mean paying less upfront, but available Barns can sell out. Purchasing earlier can mean more ETH committed until the refund. Emma’s story ends with a corrected receipt and the same Barn.

466,200 CSM a day, shared by weight. That means my Barn’s share would depend on what everyone else builds too. I’d be watching how the whole Mountain grows before deciding when to expand. @CashmereLabs

I agree, it's very convenient @Pact_Swap

Let’s walk through the planned Mountain Barn sale from @cashmerelabs with two imaginary participants, Alice and Ben. Both see their wallets on a sale list. Both think, "Great, I’m in." But only Alice has a Barn reserved. Alice gets a GTD spot. That means a guaranteed allocation at 0.125 ETH. She has 48 hours from being listed to purchase it before her spot passes to someone else. Ben gets a WL spot at 0.25 ETH. WL means allowlist, and purchases are first come, first served. If the available Barns sell out before his purchase goes through, he misses out. If both succeed, they get the same starting Barn: a digital barn with ten stalls, one already open. Once issuance begins, that open stall gives each owner a share of newly issued $ CSM Alice has a reservation with a deadline. Ben can take part, but a Barn is not guaranteed. That is why I would check more than "Am I on the list?" I would check what my place actually means.

I haven’t even applied for one of the 1,000 Founding Barns and I’m already wondering how long I’d stick with one stall before spending $CSM on a second. I know which part of the @CashmereLabs docs I’m reading first. 🤓

What does it cost to turn a one-stall Barn into a two-stall Barn on Mountain? The interesting part is what happens to the payment. Here’s the plan from @cashmerelabs. A Barn is a digital barn that starts with one stall. Once mining begins, even an empty stall earns a share of newly issued $CSM. Across Mountain, Barns and bound Goat Street goats will mine 65% of the token supply over time. Say you want a second stall. You can buy a Stall Permit with $CSM and use it to expand your Barn. The protocol burns the tokens you spent on that permit. Your new stall can now earn its own share alongside the first. So the next time you see a Barn with two stalls, think of the choice behind that second gate. Its owner could spend some $CSM today to take a larger share of what Mountain issues tomorrow.

Friends, check your old wallets 👛

What are you actually buying in the Mountain Barn sale? A Barn is a digital barn with one open stall. Once mining starts, even an empty stall earns a share of the new $CSM tokens. A Goat Street goat bound to Mountain can also mine while grazing outside. Put that same goat in your Barn and it gets three times the mining weight it had outside. For the launch, @cashmerelabs plans to offer up to 1,000 founding Barns. A Barn costs 0.125 ETH in the guaranteed round and 0.25 ETH in the allowlist round, where spots go first come, first served. The public auction starts at 1.5 ETH and the price drops toward 0.25 ETH over 30 minutes. If you buy early and the auction closes lower, you get the difference back. Once mining begins, Mountain sells one new Barn a day. This is where the money starts to circle back. Imagine those daily sales and trading fees bring in 10 ETH over three days. The team gets 1.5 ETH. Another 1.5 ETH buys $CSM to keep in reserve. Where do the other 7 ETH go? That depends on what happened in the trading pool. If more ETH came in than went out, the 7 ETH goes to the treasury. Otherwise, it goes toward buying $CSM and burning those tokens, removing them from circulation. The picture follows that second case. Out of the original 10 ETH, 8.5 ETH goes back to the same pool to buy $CSM

Watching Forkd wander around the Mountain, I can already hear myself saying "I’m just here for a walk." Give me five minutes before I place a bid.
