Web App
The Mirror Web App is the official web frontend for interacting with Mirror on the Terra network. It is located at one of the decentralized domains listed on https://terra.mirror.finance.
The Mirror Web App offers a graphical user interface for accessing Mirror's core user flows, such as mAsset trading, minting & burning through CDPs, liquidity provision, staking, and governance.
The Mirror web app requires Google Chrome and Station Extension to be installed. Please follow the instructions below to set up your browser to be able to access the DApp.

Getting TerraUSD
Mirror runs on the Terra blockchain, and uses TerraUSD (UST), a USD-pegged stablecoin, as the currency of denomination and as a form of collateral. You must have a UST balance in order to use the Mirror Web App, since it pays transaction fees in UST. In addition, it is necessary to trade mAssets and provide liquidity to mAsset/MIR Terraswap pools.
There are several ways to obtain UST:
Purchasing UST from an exchange
Swapping LUNA or other Terra stablecoins for UST
Purchasing UST from an exchange
The most direct way to obtain UST is to purchase it from an exchange. This requires having an exchange account with some funds that you can exchange into UST via a trading pair. For instance, you can purchase UST through Bittrex through UST/BTC and UST/USDT markets, or on Kucoin against BTC, ETH, USDT and XRP.
Swapping LUNA or other Terra stablecoins tokens to UST
If you have a Terra account with a balance of Luna or other stablecoins such as KRT, or SDT, you can turn them into UST through the Terra blockchain's native swap functionality. For instance, on Terra Station, the official Terra desktop wallet, you can access the swap feature through the "Market" page.
Navigate to the "Market" page by clicking it on the sidebar. You should see a similar page:
2. There is a section near the bottom of the page titled "Swap coins". There, you can select the type of coins you want to swap into UST, based on the current "Terra exchange rate".
3. Click Next and sign the transaction to complete the swap.
