Earn on Idle Assets

Learn how to provide single-sided liquidity to the Nolus lending pools and earn rewards from the interest paid by the borrowers

You can earn yield on idle assets directly in the Nolus Web App. Connect your non-custodial wallet, then open the Earn section in the left sidebar. From there you can supply and withdraw assets and track how your supplied assets are performing.

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

Earn currently lists SOL on Solana and USDC on Solana. Each pool supplies liquidity to the matching Nolus protocol. Rates move with borrowing demand: at the last update the SOL pool on Solana paid 0.13% and the USDC pool on Solana paid 0.63%, but the live figure shown next to each pool is the one that counts.

At the top of the Earn page you will see three metrics.

Total Supplied

The total value of the assets you currently have supplied, shown in USD.

Yield Earned

The total yield accumulated to date, based on realized earnings.

Annual Projection

Estimated yearly returns in USD, based on current yield rates and current asset prices.

These values refresh hourly as your assets accrue rewards.

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

The Preview section shows the projected amount based on accumulated rewards over the next four years.

Once the details look right, click Supply and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Your supplied balance then appears in your Earn portfolio.

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 use Balance 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, use Withdraw on the asset in Balances.

Important

New supply into a pool can be paused automatically when its utilization drops below the minimum set for that pool. The app shows the room left before that point as the pool's Supply Cap. 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, visit the protocol stats page. For more on pauses and withdrawal timing, see Earn Availability.
