# Leverage

## Overview

Factor Studio also provides a leverage template which enables simple management of leveraged strategies. This combines various building blocks to facilitate advanced [collateralized lending and borrowing](/factor-building-blocks/leverage/concepts/collateralized-lending-and-borrowing.md) management across multiple DeFi lending protocols. By codifying the convoluted lending processes, the Leverage Building Block provides a simple interface enabling lenders to quickly manage their positions in accordance with market dynamics.

The Leverage template combines the following blocks:

* Flash Loan
* Lend
* Borrow
* Swap

With integrations across multiple lending protocols, lenders are free to choose between their preferred protocols, tokens, and strategies without worrying about specific protocol differences. The Leverage template allows lenders to easily access more liquidity while offsetting the opportunity costs of [HODL](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hodl.asp)ing their favourite tokens.
