# Earn Negative Interest

## Overview

<figure><img src="/files/ZaEbyGULpUwB4kKZMcNN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Take out a collateralized loan whenever there is negative interest and get paid to borrow.

This strategy requires that you first have a lending position which can function as the collateral for your borrow. By lending tokens, you also earn any supply interest,

By automating checks for negative borrow interest conditions, your strategy can automatically trigger a borrow whenever borrow rates for your lending market is negative. You can borrow up to the maximum [collateralization ratio](/getting-started/glossary.md#collateralisation-ratio) but pay attention to the [health factor](/getting-started/glossary.md#health-factor) of your position to avoid forced liquidations.

## Potential Alpha

* **Get Paid To Borrow:** Get access to more liquidity and generate even more yield whenever a borrow market becomes under-utilized.
* **Leverage Borrow Incentives:** Take advantage of liquidity incentives provided to various borrow markets and earn yield for borrowing tokens.
