Users should contact for more information or assistance with the process.***
**Stablecoins vs Non-Stablecoin Assets**\ Users minting USDf with stablecoins will do so at a 1:1 ratio, while users minting with non-stablecoin assets will be subject to an overcollateralization ratio (OCR). As indicated in the previous section, OCRs will vary based on the non-stablecoin asset's risk profile. Refer to the [App Guide](/resources/quick-app-guide.md) for further details on different deposit processes. **Express Mint**\ An Express Mint is an extra feature provided for users using the Classic Mint mechanism. It offers users two additional options in the process of minting their USDf. Compared to a regular mint where users simply receive the amount of USDf minted, and are required to proceed with further processes like staking and restaking manually, Express Mint users are able to bypass these automatically. * Option 1: Mint & Stake * This option automatically stakes users' USDf after it is minted, directly returning users sUSDf instead of USDf at the end of the process. * Option 2: Mint, Stake, & Restake * This option requires users to pick between available fixed-term tenures, automatically staking their' USDf after it is minted, then restaking the returned sUSDf into the chosen vaults. * Users will receive an ERC-721 NFT representing their locked position instead of USDf or sUSDf at the end of the process Refer to the [sUSDf](/earn/susdf-yield-bearing-token.md) and [Restaking](/earn/restaking-susdf.md) sections for further details on staking and restaking respectively. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.falcon.finance/mechanism/usdf-synthetic-dollar/usdf-minting-mechanisms/classic-mint.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
