FAQ

There are several possible sources for the interest:

Your deposited crypto is lent to margin and short traders. A part of the loan interest the traders pay is then payed to you.

If you deposited stablecoins, they are usually lent to someone who takes a loan. A part of the loan interest the borrowers pay is then payed to you.

In other cases interest providers like new exchanges or projects offer interest to attract new users.

Finally the interest is earned by using your crypto for staking. Staked crypto secures a blockchain and earns interest in return.

APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield. This is the interest rate you get, if you deposit your crypto for 1 year. It also includes compounded interest.

Often APR is used instead. APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate and doesn't include the compounded interest.

The lock-up period is the period in which you are not able to withdraw your deposited crypto. The reason for this is, that the providers lend your deposited crypto for a specific period to margin or short traders or to someone who takes a loan. As long as they are lent, they are locked.

Please check the provider details to learn how long your crypto is locked.
