# Lend Assets

On Nitron, you can lend out your idle assets to earn an APR on it. The custody of the asset remains with you, while you earn passive income on it. You can withdraw your loan permissionlessly at any given time.

{% endhint %}

To lend your assets, follow these steps:

**Step 1:** Launch Demex, click “Earn” in the navigation menu and click “Nitron” under the dropdown bar.

**Step 2:** Under the “Lend” window, you can view all assets that you can lend at any given time according to your balance available in your wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not have available balance in wallet for any asset, deposit it from the Balances page first.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

For example, you are able to lend SWTH token which is currently earning an APR of 10.93%.

**Step 4:** Enter the desired amount, or select the maximum available balance from your wallet to lend. The option to “Use all as Collateral” is selected by default. This serves as a collateral if you wish to borrow other assets or mint the stablecoin.

Here we choose to use the entire amount as collateral, however you can uncheck this box and entire the desired amount as well.

You can view the change in your health factor after inputting your loan amount.

**Step 5:** Click the “Lend” button to finalise your loan.

Congratulations! You have successfully lent out your asset. You can view these assets on the “You’re Lending” window of the Nitron page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.dem.exchange/earn/nitron-lend-and-borrow/walkthroughs/lend-assets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
