What Is UwU Lend (UWU)? Complete Guide & Review About UwU Lend

What Is UwU Lend (UWU)?

UwU Lend is a liquidity market that offers depositing and borrowing. Users earn interest on deposits and pay interest to borrow. This provides the ability to free capital against assets users are planning to hold for utilization in other investments, leveraging, or expenses. Outstanding loans have more collateral backing them than debt, known as overcollateralization.

This eliminates risk of non-payment for depositors. The treasury earns a small amount of fees to cover bad debt in the event of extreme volatility. Borrowers do not have a repayment schedule with no limit on loan duration. The is non-custodial; no user funds can be seized by the protocol.

Why Uwu Lend?

UwU Lend has evolved from AAVE, the largest lending and borrowing market on Ethereum. AAVE’s contracts have been thoroughly audited and battle tested so users can have confidence in using. The protocol has no DAO or governance friction of any kind. Protocol earnings are paid directly to stakers in the form of a basket of assets the protocol supports.

How to Use UwU Lend

Depositing into UwU Lend

Go to the Deposit section and select the asset you want to deposit. You will need to approve UwU Lend to access the asset you want to deposit if you have not done so before. Now you can deposit into UwU Lend and immediately begin earning interest based on protocol and borrowing demand. All deposits are approved collateral to take out loans if desired. Interest earned by deposits auto compounds the position with no need to harvest or claim rewards.

Some assets may have a deposit or borrow cap to keep exposure to volatility healthy.

Withdrawing

To withdraw simply go to the Deposit section and press “Withdraw.” Determine the amount to withdraw and submit.

Borrowing

If you have an asset deposited you can borrow against it. Select Borrow from the dashboard and press “Borrow” for the asset you want to borrow. You can see the variable interest payment required to borrow from here. Set the amount you want to borrow against your available deposit(s). The most liquid assets such as LUSD and DAI allow you to borrow up to 90% LTV (loan to value).

Liquidation

Liquidation may occur if the value of the assets borrowed reach the value of the collateral deposited. This may happen in the event of collateral reducing in value, the borrowed asset gaining value, or both. Borrowers may see the health factor of their loan on the “Borrow” page. Higher health factors are at less risk.

UwU Token

UwU is a revenue sharing token that provides returns to staked ETH-UwU LPs. Emitted UwU tokens vest for four weeks. Tokens may be claimed at any time before they are fully vested but will incur a 50% penalty for immediate release.

LPs have a lock period of eight weeks. Users that stay staked in the protocol after the 8 weeks lock period, continue to earn yield in perpetuity until it is withdrawn.

How to Earn UwU Tokens

For users, UwU tokens are emitted to Depositors and Borrowers but may be tweaked to further incentivize the LP if needed. LP positions will earn UwU from early claim penalties rather than receive direct emissions.

LP Incentives

All revenue is shared with LP stakers. Yield derives from the variable interest rate borrowers pay, and penalties of UwU Token emissions due to early token claims. Stakers receive the same basket of tokens that UwU Lend supports (i.e. wBTC, wETH, DAI, MIM, etc.) Tokens begin accrual upon staking and can be claimed as often as desired without penalty.

The LP position itself has a lock period of eight weeks and may not be withdrawn early. Note that frequent claims may incur high gas fees and significantly reduce effective APY depending on stake size.
