# Leveraged Staking Yields

## Overview

<figure><img src="/files/isjJNnTfUwNZisGOT4wV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Gain leveraged staking yield exposure by borrowing against your staking tokens. By borrowing base tokens against your yield-bearing tokens, you get safe access to leveraged staking yields.

## Potential Alpha

* **Staking Yield Amplification:** Earn multiple of your initial staking token yield amount as long as the average staking yield is greater than the incurred debt.
* **Decreasing Debt Burden:** Lend yield bearing staking tokens and borrow base tokens to open a position where collateral value is always rising relative to debt.
* **Earn Additional Interest:** In addition from your staking token growing in value, you will also receive lending pool supply interest by charging borrowers of your tokens a borrow interest.

* Flash loan an intermediary token.
* The amount that you can flash loan will be dependent on the maximum collateralization ratio for your selected lending pool (i.e. $$\text{collatRatio}=\frac{value\_\text{flashLoan}}{value\_\text{initiaclCollateral}+value\_\text{flashLoan}}$$ ).&#x20;

* Swap the flash loaned token for staking tokens.

<summary><a href="/pages/E6WYYQYrQQUDQZyOmLrT"><strong>Borrow</strong></a></summary>

<summary><a href="/pages/8ObgSjNh6pntp9BtqQIc">Swap</a></summary>
