Meowshi is a smart contract built on top of the [BentoBox](https://hackmd.io/@HHK-ETH/ry1Hi8I-Y), allowing you to deposit SUSHI and/or xSUSHI inside the [BentoBox](https://hackmd.io/@HHK-ETH/ry1Hi8I-Y) against MEOW tokens. Meow token is an ERC20 that represents your liquidity inside meowshi contracts, you can do whatever you want with them but if you loose them, you loose the right to redeem your SUSHI/xSUSHI inside meowshi. Because meowshi is built on top of [BentoBox](https://hackmd.io/@HHK-ETH/ry1Hi8I-Y), assets sitting inside meowshi are sent to the [BentoBox](https://hackmd.io/@HHK-ETH/ry1Hi8I-Y), generating extra yield on it. When [BentoBox](https://hackmd.io/@HHK-ETH/ry1Hi8I-Y) generates extra yield, increasing the number of xSUSHI sitting inside, your MEOW balance will not change but each MEOW token will be worth more SUSHI/xSUSHI when you will redeem them. ### How does it works ? When depositing SUSHI inside Meowshi, your SUSHI are first converted to xSUSHI using the [SushiBar](https://) and then sent to [BentoBox](https://hackmd.io/@HHK-ETH/ry1Hi8I-Y). When depositing xSUSHI, they are directly sent to the [BentoBox](https://hackmd.io/@HHK-ETH/ry1Hi8I-Y). ![](https://i.imgur.com/3cwhGz3.jpg) ### How to get $MEOW ?
