# 3. Mint BtcUSD

Now you can start minting BtcUSD, a stablecoin minted (loaned) against your BTC collateral. The minted BtcUSD can be deposited in BiFi, swapped on Everdex, among various other uses. If you are using a wallet other than Pockie, you will need to add and change to Bifrost Network. If you have not already done so, [here](https://docs.bifrostnetwork.com/bifrost-network/add-network/metamask) is the guide to adding Bifrost Network.
