Earn on Idle Assets

Supply assets to Earn, stake NLS and track what they earn, all from the Earn page

You can earn yield on idle assets directly in the Nolus Web App. Open the Earn section in the left sidebar. From there you can supply and withdraw assets, stake NLS, and track how everything is performing. The page itself is readable before you connect anything, and the Supply and Withdraw buttons stay where they are and ask for a wallet when you click them.

Use Solflare or Phantom. With no wallet connected, the app shows the Solana pools.

Earn currently lists cbBTC on Solana, SOL on Solana, USDC on Solana and wETH on Solana. Each pool supplies liquidity to the matching Nolus protocol. Rates move with borrowing demand: at the last update the cbBTC pool on Solana paid 3.6%, the SOL pool on Solana paid 9.6%, the USDC pool on Solana paid 6.7% and the wETH pool on Solana paid 3.0%, but the live figure shown next to each pool is the one that counts. The same rates are listed on the home page before you ever open Earn, in the Yield section of the Earnings widget, with NLS and the staking rate at the top of that list.

At the top of the Earn page you will see four figures. Every one of them is your own, never a protocol-wide total, and each reads a dash rather than $0.00 while the app cannot yet work it out for your address, which is what you see before you connect. These values refresh as your assets accrue rewards.

Total Supplied

The total value of what you have working in Earn, shown in USD. It counts your pool deposits and your staked NLS together.

Yield Earned

The total yield accumulated to date, based on realized earnings. This one is pool earnings only; staking rewards are tracked separately in NLS Rewards.

Annual Projection

Estimated yearly returns in USD, based on current yield rates and current asset prices, with your staked NLS and the chain's staking rate folded in. It is shown on desktop only.

NLS Rewards

Your unclaimed staking rewards, with a Claim button under the figure. It is an amount of NLS rather than a dollar value.

The assets table

The table lists one row per pool, and an NLS row that always comes first. Each row shows the Asset, what you have Supplied in it, its Yield, and its Availability: Open while the pool accepts new supply, Paused once it does not. A dash in the Supplied column means the figure has not been read for your address yet, never that it is zero. The count above the table includes the NLS row, and the search box matches on ticker or token name.

The NLS row is your stake rather than a deposit: Supplied is the amount you have staked, Yield is the chain's own staking rate, and the chip turns from Open to Attention when part of your stake has stopped earning. Staking is covered in Stake and Unstake NLS.

Supplying assets

Supplying draws on your Nolus account balance, so make sure the asset is there first. In a Solana session you top up with Fund, which moves the asset from your Solana wallet to your Nolus account.

To start earning, click Supply at the top right. In the pop-up that opens:

  • Select an asset from the dropdown menu

  • Enter the amount you want to supply

NLS is the first entry in that list and is the one selected when the dialog opens, so pick the pool you actually want. With a pool selected, the Preview section shows the projected amount based on accumulated rewards over the next seven years.

Once the details look right, click Supply and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Your supplied balance then appears in your Earn portfolio. If you first opened the app through someone's referral link, this transaction carries a memo reading ref:NLS- followed by the code, which your wallet shows in the signing prompt; it is expected and changes nothing about the transaction itself.

The balance line above the amount field shows the amount on its own, without the ticker. Clicking it fills in your holding. On a supply it keeps the network fee back, so the figure it fills can sit slightly under the balance shown on that line.

A link straight to app.nolus.io/earn/supply opens the dialog without a wallet too, with the pools listed and the amount field live; the submit brings up the Select Wallet picker rather than throwing away what you typed.

Rewards in the pool are auto-compounded, so a withdrawal returns your original amount and the accumulated rewards in a single transaction.

Withdrawing assets

To withdraw, go to the Earn section and click Withdraw. In the window that opens:

  • Select the asset

  • Enter the amount you want to withdraw, or click the balance line above the field to fill in your entire supply

Check the details, click Withdraw, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. The funds land in your Nolus account as soon as the transaction finalizes. To get them into your Solana wallet, open the Account popover from the wallet button in the top bar, click Withdraw, and pick the asset there.

You can link straight there: app.nolus.io/earn/withdraw opens the dialog on its Withdraw tab, and adding ?asset= with a ticker to that address seats the row for you. With no wallet attached the tab shows the line connect wallet to continue above a Connect button instead of the form, and connecting swaps the form in where you stand.

Important

New supply into a pool can be paused automatically when its utilization drops below the minimum set for that pool. The app marks such a pool Paused in the Availability column, and the supply dialog's asset picker adds the line Supply paused, limit reached under that pool's row. That minimum is a per-pool parameter which governance can change, so check the pool itself rather than assuming a fixed number.

To check current pool utilization and each pool's Supply Cap, visit the protocol stats page. For more on pauses and withdrawal timing, see Earn Availability.
