How to Stack Yield on Any Collateral—Stable or Volatile—with One ClickLayerBank lets you maximize your yield potential by looping any supported collateral—whether stable or volatile—in just a few clicks. Backed by robust audits and oracles, our Leverage Looping feature makes sophisticated DeFi strategies simple and safe.1. Getting Started – Deposit & LoopSelect CollateralChoose from supported tokens including stables, LSTs, yield-bearing vault tokens, or RWA-backed assets. LayerBank supports both native and derivative tokens (e.g., USDC, pUSD, nAsset, ETH, LSTs, etc).Choose Loop SettingsSet your desired leverage level. The higher the loop multiplier, the higher the potential yield—and the higher the risk. LayerBank displays the estimated Net APY and position metrics for each loop configuration.One-Click LoopWith a single transaction, LayerBank automates the process of borrowing, minting/swapping, and re-depositing—repeating until your target LTV is reached.2. Earning Yield – How the Math WorksNet APYYour Net APY =(Base yield of the collateral − Borrow APR) × Leverage multiplier Example:If nAsset yields 10% and borrow rate is 2%, then:→ Spread = 8%→ At 3× leverage: Net APY = ~24%⚠️ Note: Net APY is calculated based on the total looped position. This may appear lower than theoretical yield projections due to effective compounding dilution across the position.Real-Time Position TrackingYou can monitor your growing position value in real-time, with detailed stats on collateral balance, debt, Net APY, and liquidation buffer.3. Strategy Types – Correlated vs. Volatile🟢 Stable Loops (Stable-on-Stable)These strategies involve borrowing and re-depositing correlated or pegged assets (e.g., pUSD → nAsset on Plume).No liquidation risk from price swingsIdeal for predictable, low-risk yield stackingNo slippage when using mint-based looping (e.g., Nest Vault)✅ Great for users who prefer consistent returns without price exposure.🔴 Volatile Loops (Token-on-Token)These involve leveraging price-exposed assets like ETH, BTC, or LP tokens.Higher upside potentialBut risk of liquidation if the collateral price fallsBest for experienced users who can monitor LTV and price volatility4. Mint vs. Swap – Two Ways to Loop✅ Mint PathBorrow a stablecoin (e.g., pUSD)Mint more collateral via LayerBank’s mint integrations (e.g., Nest Vault)Zero slippage, and often cheaper than swapsExample: pUSD → Mint nAsset directly via Nest Vault🔄 Swap PathBorrow → Swap stablecoin for collateral via a DEXUseful when minting is unavailable or cappedSlippage applies, especially in volatile or thinly liquid pairsBoth methods result in the same looped outcome: a larger productive position generating amplified yield.5. How to Unwind Your Loop🏃 Fast ExitRepay the borrowed amount in fullInstantly unlock and withdraw your entire collateral🐢 Gradual ExitWithdraw partial collateralRedeem (or unstake) it for stablecoins (some vaults may have a cooldown period, e.g., 7–14 days)Use redeemed stables to repay part of the debtRepeat the cycle until fully closedPlan ahead—looped positions, especially in vaults with redemption windows, may require multiple steps to unwind.Ready to Loop?Visit app.layerbank.finance, pick your vault, and start stacking yield—layer by layer.
