Rewards for Lenders

Vault APY, native lending yield, and PoL reward yield from staking vault shares.

Bend offers additional yield on Berachain’s native stablecoin [$BUSD](/general/tokens/busd). Each Vault is managed by Curators, who choose which Markets supply $BUSD as a loan for specific collateral ($WETH, $WBERA, $WBTC, etc.).

Vault APY yields

A vault may offer one or both of:

1. Native APY — Yield from lending $BUSD in the vault’s markets.
2. PoL reward yield — Yield from staking vault shares in an eligible Proof-of-Liquidity Reward Vault.

See the Deposit & Withdraw Guide to deposit.

Native APY

Native APY comes from lending $BUSD to the collateral types the vault’s Curator has enabled. APY depends on borrow rates and utilization—how much of the supplied $BUSD is borrowed.

Each vault shows its allocation and supply yield.

PoL reward yield

PoL reward yield comes from validators directing Reward Vault emissions to a Bend vault’s whitelisted Reward Vault. When you supply $BUSD to a vault, you receive receipt tokens (shares). Stake those receipt tokens in a whitelisted Reward Vault to become eligible for reward claims.

You must stake the receipt tokens and claim rewards to realize this yield. Rewards are paid as $WBERA.
