# How Carol Protocol Works

1. Open/[Install MetaMask](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn?hl=ru) or any other wallet that supports web3.
2. Add the Base network to your wallet if it's not already there. You can use this link for automatic addition: <https://chainlist.org/?search=base>

4. Visit the website <https://carol.finance> and connect your wallet.
5. Create a Bond on the main page - <https://carol.finance/bonding>. To do this, you need to have a minimum of 0.001 ETH + network fees in your wallet. A Bond is a deferred purchase of CAROL tokens with ETH. CAROL tokens will be unlocked after 30 days with a + 30% bonus on the spent ETH amount. Minimum Bond (deposit) = 0.001 ETH.
