✨A thread on joining lending/borrowing protocol on @BastionProtocol

For example, #NEAR has an LTV of 60%, $USDC 85%, $USDT 80%, $ETH 70%. Other assets are also the same but they will have a different LTV (Loan-to-value).
2/18
Keep in mind that LTV is not the profit that you can earn but it is the percentage that you can borrow based on the assets that you have deposited in the Lending platform.

First, you need to buy $NEAR on any exchanges and withdraw them into your #NEAR Wallet. Since #Aurora EVM uses $ETH as transaction fees so connect your wallet to @finance_ref and swap a few Near to ETH.
4/18
After that, use Rainbow Bridge to transfer $ETH and $NEAR from your #NEAR Wallet to #AuroraNetwork. Make sure that you added Aurora Mainnet Network to your Metamask wallet 🧐.
5/18
Access Bastion Mainhub and choose the #NEAR pool, deposit $NEAR into the pool and borrow Near from the deposited amount. Continuing the step to earn the profit from the interest, both Lending and Borrowing are risk-free and profitable.
6/18
Note:
- Collateral: give access to “Use as Collateral” feature to be able to borrow amount of money/assets that were deposited into Lending.
- LTV: The percentage of assets you can borrow back from your deposited ones.
9/18
The current APY stats of the #NEAR pool are 1.59% for Supply APY and -7.67% for Borrow APY. That means that you will receive 1.59% of your 100 Near and 7.67% of the borrowed 48 $NEAR. Continue the calculation of the next round.

The interest from project will be payback by their token (BSTN), but the asset you use to repay the lending interest is $NEAR. The borrow APY is negative, not only you don't need to repay the interest but also get to earn $BSTN.
12/18
If BSTN’s price plummeted, you wouldn't have enough money to repay the interest even though Lending #APY is higher (but this scenario is not likely to occur). The Lending APY is higher than the Borrowing APY then you are profitable.
13/18
If you want to withdraw the profit then click Repay to pay for the interest (a negative interest means you are receiving profit). Next, simply withdraw #NEAR to your wallet. Remember to save a few $NEAR to use as transaction fees.
