Rewards for Lenders

Bend offers additional yield on Berachain’s native stablecoin [$HONEY](/general/tokens/honey). Each [Vault](/bend/learn/vault) is managed by [Curators](/bend/learn/curator), who choose which [Markets](/bend/learn/market) supply$HONEY as a loan for specific collateral ($WETH,$WBERA, $WBTC, etc.).

​

Vault APY yields

A vault may offer one or both of:

1. Native APY — Yield from lending $HONEY in the vault’s markets.
2. PoL reward yield — Yield from staking vault shares in an eligible Proof-of-Liquidity Reward Vault.

See the Deposit & Withdraw Guide to deposit.

​

Native APY

Native APY comes from lending $HONEY to the collateral types the vault's Curator has enabled. APY depends on borrow rates and utilization—how much of the supplied$HONEY is borrowed. Each vault shows its allocation and supply yield.

​

PoL reward yield

PoL reward yield comes from validators directing Reward Vault emissions to a Bend vault’s whitelisted Reward Vault. When you supply $HONEY to a vault, you receive receipt tokens (shares). Stake those receipt tokens in a whitelisted Reward Vault to become eligible for reward claims. You must stake the receipt tokens and claim rewards to realize this yield. Rewards are paid as $WBERA.
