# 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](/bend/learn/vault) is managed by [Curators](/bend/learn/curator), who choose which [Markets](/bend/learn/market) 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**](#native-apy) — Yield from lending \$BUSD in the vault's markets.
2. [**PoL reward yield**](#pol-reward-yield) — Yield from staking vault shares in an eligible [Proof-of-Liquidity Reward Vault](/general/proof-of-liquidity/reward-vaults).

See the [Deposit & Withdraw Guide](/bend/guides/deposit-withdraw) 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.

### PoL reward yield

PoL reward yield comes from [validators directing Reward Vault emissions](/general/proof-of-liquidity/block-rewards) 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.
