What Is Earn (Flexible Savings)? An Interest-Bearing Account You Can Deposit and Withdraw Anytime
The BTC you hold for the long term, the USDC between trades — you're holding it anyway, so you might as well let it earn interest.
1. What Is Earn?
Earn is a flexible interest-bearing product: deposit a supported asset, earn interest daily starting the next day, and withdraw your entire balance instantly at any time — no lock-up, no penalty. It's like a bank passbook savings account — the money earns interest while it sits there, and you can withdraw it whenever you need it. It supports five assets — BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, USDT — each earning interest independently.
2. What Does T+1 Mean?
Deposit today (day T), interest starts accruing at UTC 00:00 the next day, and the interest is credited the day after. Any portion you withdraw immediately stops earning interest. Settlement happens once a day — predictable and easy to reconcile.
3. Settled In-Kind: You Earn What You Deposit
Deposit BTC and earn BTC, deposit USDC and earn USDC — interest is paid in the same asset you deposited, not a platform token and not an IOU. For long-term holders, this is a key property: the yield adds to your existing exposure rather than diluting it.
4. Why No Lock-Up Is the Core
Earn's most important property is what it doesn't do — it doesn't lock up your money. USDC placed in Earn can be moved to trading at any time while earning interest. The trade-off is a yield lower than lock-up products (such as the 4-day-locked MLP Vault) — this isn't a flaw, it's by design: full liquidity itself has a price.
5. Where Does the Yield Come From?
The yield comes from real economic activity, such as the interest generated when the platform rewards users for providing liquidity. The APR floats with market supply and demand — the number on the screen is the current rate, not a promise. Earn is a flexible product and does not use active investment strategies; yield is subject to actual settlement.
6. How to Use It
Open the “Earn” page to see the current APR of each asset → choose an asset, enter an amount (no minimum deposit) → confirm. When withdrawing, the system withdraws the interest portion first, then deducts any excess from the principal.
FAQ
Q: Is the yield guaranteed?
A: No. The yield floats with market supply and demand; the APR shown on the page is the current rate, not a promise, and is subject to actual settlement.
Q: Is the APR locked in at the number on the day I deposited?
A: No. Each day, what you get is that day's prevailing rate.
Risk Warning
The yield floats with the market, with no guaranteed rate. Supported assets and the APR are subject to the Earn page.
