🧠 What is Lending in DeFi?
Lending = depositing your crypto (usually stablecoins like $USDC or $DAI) into a decentralized protocol so others can borrow it.
In return, you earn interest — just like a bank would.
⸻
💰 How Much Can You Earn?
• Stablecoins (USDC, USDT, DAI): 4–10% APY
• Depends on market demand and protocol
⸻
🧰 Where to Lend Your Crypto:
🔹 Aave — Most trusted lending protocol
🔹 Compound — Easy UI, reliable
🔹 Venus Protocol (BNB Chain) — Higher yields
🔹 Binance Earn (Flexible Savings) — Centralized option for beginners
⸻
✅ Benefits of Lending:
✔️ Earn passively with no price exposure if you use stablecoins
✔️ Withdraw anytime (on most platforms)
✔️ Start with as little as $10
✔️ No need to trade or time the market
⸻
⚠️ Risks to Know:
• Smart contract vulnerabilities
• Platform insolvency (e.g., if borrowers default or protocol gets hacked)
• Interest rates can fluctuate
• Centralized platforms = custodial risk
⸻
🪙 Pro Tip:
For low risk, start with lending $USDC or $DAI on Aave.
It’s like a crypto savings account — but better returns.
⸻
📌 TL;DR:
If you’re holding crypto, lending it out is a zero-effort way to earn extra income.
Don’t let your coins sit idle.
Put them to work — even while you sleep.
