How do lending protocols work in Tonstakers Earn?

Lending protocols allow you to deposit tsTON and receive additional yield from borrowing interest, while continuing to receive staking rewards every 18 hours.

To get started, simply deposit tsTON into the lending pool of the protocol listed on Tonstakers Earn.

The process differs slightly depending on the protocol:

• EVAA. Deposit tsTON as collateral to borrow GRAM or other tokens against it. Alternatively, stake the borrowed GRAM to receive more tsTON and repeat the loop to multiply your staking exposure and yield.
• Affluent. Deposit tsTON into Strategy Vaults, which automatically manage and loop your position across lending markets to maximize yield.

Please note that leveraged strategies carry additional risks: if borrowing rates exceed staking yield, the position becomes unprofitable, and over-leveraging may lead to liquidation of your collateral. Always do your own research and assess your risk tolerance before participating.
