Earning yield and leverage trading with a single asset at the same time hasn’t been possible… until now! **Yield+ supercharges your collateral by enabling you to earn interest while you trade.**

What is Yield+?
---------------

[Yield+](https://perp.com/yield-plus/?utm_source=Mirror&utm_medium=Mirror&utm_campaign=Yield_Plus_Blog) is a new feature that allows traders to save time and effort by doing two things at once:

*   earn yield with a single asset and also
    
*   use the same asset as margin to trade perpetual futures.
    

Along with Perp’s multi-collateral feature, Yield+ unlocks greater flexibility for traders and yield seekers.

By taking advantage of the composability of DeFi, we have built Yield+ on top of [Yearn](https://yearn.finance/#/vaults)’s managed vaults on [Optimism](https://optimism.io/) so traders can earn interest on their USDC, USDT or ETH and use their farming positions as margin to trade crypto with leverage.

When depositing to Yield+, you’ll receive some yield-bearing tokens in return. These yield-bearing tokens can then be used as margin to open positions in any of the 18 crypto markets available on [Perp](https://perp.com?utm_source=mirror&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=mirror).

Even when your collateral is idle, you’ll continue to earn a return from Yearn’s vault strategy. As a result, you don’t have to worry about moving your tokens around when you have no open positions or trading ideas!

The benefits of Yield+ include:

*   **Earn interest while you trade:** Unlock flexible crypto trading with yield-bearing assets.
    
*   **Sustainable APR with no fees:** Earn up to 6% APR from a sustainable strategy.
    
*   **Open to all:** Yield accessible to all with no whitelist requirement.
    
*   **Low risk:** Yield+ builds on top of Yearn’s battle tested vaults, there’s a very low likelihood of losing your funds since the only risk relates to smart contract exploits.
    
*   **Share price only goes up:** Benefit from a share price that is perpetually in ‘number go up’ mode.
    
*   **Instant withdrawal with no lock time:** Freedom to deposit or withdraw your tokens whenever you want.
