Exchange earn products

Exchanges offer a percentage, like 5% a year, on coins you deposit in an earn product.

What it means

The exchange lends your coins to borrowers or stakes them, sometimes with a lock-up period, so if a borrower or the exchange fails, the yield and even the coins can be lost.

What to watch

Where the yield comes from, how long the coins are locked, whether the rate can change, and that the rate shown is not a guarantee.
