Leverage Staking with Burrow — User Guide

Burrow is a non-custodial, autonomous money market.

It helps users unlock liquidity for interest-bearing assets such as NearX, etc.

Users can deposit NearX as collateral and borrow more NEAR to create a leveraged staking position, earning yields as high as 50% or more.

Here’s a Step-by-step guide to help you get started.
