The Sun keeps time on the Farm in Seasons and incentivizes cost-efficient and timely calling of the gm function.
You can view the Sun at the upper left corner of app.bean.money.
The Sun displays the current Season, which is the number of Seasons completed since gm was called for the first time. If Beans were minted during the current Season based on the peg maintenance mechanism, the Sun will appear as a rain cloud icon.
Selecting the Sun displays more detail on historical Seasons and a forecast for the next Season. The following information is shown for each Season:
Number of new Beans minted,
Temperature for Sowing Beans,
Pod Rate, and
Delta Demand, if it was used to measure Demand for Soil. If there is between 0 and 1 Soil remaining at the end of any Season, Delta Demand is not used.
Guides on understanding the Bean price and how affects Beanstalk.
Beanstalk uses credit instead of collateral to create Bean price stability relative to its value peg of $1. In practice, this means the protocol incentivizes the regular oscillation of the Bean price above and below its peg. The Bean price will almost never be exactly equal to its peg. Read more about how Beanstalk works or an in-depth overview of the peg maintenance mechanism.
You can view the current Bean price in US dollars at the upper left corner of app.bean.money.
Selecting the Bean price displays more detail of the liquidity pools that Beans trade in.
The detail view shows the:
USD denominated price of Bean in the liquidity pool;
USD denominated total liquidity in the liquidity pool, including non-Bean assets; and
deltaB, the shortage or excess of Beans in the liquidity pool. Read more about how deltaB impacts the Bean supply and Soil supply.
