# Earn

Wasabi vaults let you earn on tokens you already hold.\
Interest comes from leveraged traders borrowing your assets — not token inflation.

No deposit fees. Withdraw anytime.

## Why Earn on Wasabi

* **Consistently Higher Yield on Assets:** Wasabi can charge higher interest rates because we offer the most exclusive listings in the market.
* **700+ Assets Supported:** Generate yield on newer, high-momentum tokens you already hold — not just majors. Put idle positions to work without selling them.
* **Single-Asset Deposits:** Deposit one token and earn on that token. No pairing means no exposure to a second asset moving against you. You keep your original position while generating yield.
* **Real Yield, Not Emissions:** Your returns come from traders paying to borrow your assets. When trading demand increases, your yield increases. No reliance on token inflation to sustain APY.

## How Vaults Work

Your deposited tokens fund leverage trading on Wasabi.

1. **Traders Borrow:** Traders borrow assets from the vaults to open long or short positions.
2. **Interest Is Paid:** Borrowing costs accrue in real time. 90% goes to depositors. Wasabi retains a 10% performance fee on the yield generated.
3. **Capital Efficiency:** Unused assets may be deployed to earn additional returns where possible.
4. **Risk Controls:** Positions are liquidated before losses exceed collateral, protecting vault liquidity.

Clear flow:\
Trader demand → Borrowing → Interest → Depositors earn.
