# How to enter GMI

## **How to Get GMI**

***

### Step One: Acquire WLP

1. Visit wagmi.com and click on the "GMI" tab, then scroll down.
2. You will see a list of strategies supported by GMI. Here are some key terms:
   * **TVL**: Total Value Locked within a multi-pool
   * **Max Cap**: Required liquidity depth
   * **Percentage Field**: The difference between TVL and Max Cap
   * **Premium**: The WAGMI premium currently promised for the multi-pool’s WLP

Before selecting your desired multi-pool, carefully analyze the above data. Detailed information on how to work with strategies can be found here: [Strategies.](/wagmi/protocol-mechanics/strategies.md)

### Step Two: Join GMI

1. Once you have a WLP token from a strategy supported by GMI that you wish to exchange for GMI, head back to the "GMI" tab.

**WAGMI + sWAGMI requirement for entering GMI**

**WAGMI + sWAGMI Ratio for GMI Entry**

Currently, users combined **WAGMI** and **sWAGMI** (staked **WAGMI**) holdings need to meet the required threshold for joining the GMI. To qualify, the sum of your **WAGMI** and **sWAGMI** must be at least 20% of the **WAGMI** amount that is reserved for your GMI position.

In case of not meeting the threshold - **Additional WAGMI or sWAGMI is needed for Entry**

To proceed with your intended wLP (Wrapped Liquidity Position), you need to acquire an additional  **WAGMI**. This will elevate your combined **WAGMI** + **sWAGMI** holdings to the necessary level for GMI participation.&#x20;

1. Here you will see exactly how many GMI tokens you will receive in exchange for your WLP. Additionally, you'll see the following:

   * **WAGMI Reserved**: The quantity of WAGMI tokens you will receive in exchange for GMI
   * **Premium Locked**: The premium percentage is calculated based on your choice of WLP, and the resulting premium is then added to your WAGMI balance.
   * **Actual APR**: The annual percentage rate, considering GMI share recalculation dynamics.
   * **Initial APR**: The initial annual percentage rate.

**Note**: By exchanging your WLP tokens for GMI, you transfer ownership of the WLP tokens. In return, you become a GMI holder and start earning fees from all multi-pools supported by GMI. When GMI holders close their liquidity farming positions, they exchange their GMI tokens for WAGMI tokens. The amount of WAGMI tokens available for exchange is a fixed quantity, determined at the time of acquiring GMI.

### Step Three: Manage Your Position

1. **Navigate to the Dashboard**: Once you have acquired GMI, head over to the "Dashboard" tab and click on the GMI card.

1. **On the GMI Page, you can find the following information:**

   * **GMI Balance and Share**: When someone exits from GMI, 50% of their vested GMI is distributed among all current GMI holders. This increases each holder's share of GMI, thereby boosting profits.
   * **Locked WAGMI Amount Available for Vesting**: This shows the amount of WAGMI that you can vest.
   * **Current Max Premium to Enter**: Remember from the first screenshot in this document, users who enter GMI not only reserve WAGMI tokens for vesting but also receive a premium (a percentage of WAGMI reserved). Different multi-pools promise varying premiums depending on their liquidity.
     * **Liquidity Indicator**: The liquidity percentage field (the difference between multi-pool TVL and its Max Cap) serves as an indicator.
       * If the Percentage Field is 50% or less, users can enter GMI using the multi-pool WLP with a 20% premium.
       * If the Percentage Field is 90% or more, the premium drops to 0 since the multi-pool is almost full.
   * **Track Your Earnings**: In the middle panel, you can track fees that you have earned in every token from all multi-pools supported by GMI. These can be found on the right side of the panel.
   * **Claim Tokens**: By clicking on "Claim," you can open a pop-up where you can choose which tokens you would like to claim.
