# Boosting $GLP Yield by 195%

and almost completely risk-free

### With our looping mechanism, you can leverage your GMD Delta-Neutral Vault mechanisms with very minimal risks, and get 195% of the $GLP yield.  Here is how we enable that: 

We will assume we are generating roughly 20% in average annual yield on GMD Delta-Neutral Vaults. The borrowing interest fees will be set at 80% that of the Vault yield. 

## <mark style="color:orange;">Lending mechanism details:</mark>&#x20;

You can deposit gmdTOKENS and withdraw 80% of your collateral value. For example:&#x20;

* If you deposit 1,000 gmdUSDC at $1 per gmdUSDC, you can borrow, at most, 800 USDC.&#x20;
* You can then stake this 800 USDC into our delta-neutral vault to get 800 gmdUSDC tokens, which you can then deposit into the lending mechanism to get 640 USDC
* And you can keep doing that until you cannot anymore.&#x20;

Using that looping mechanism, and taking into account the $GLP's 0.5% converting fees, the total looping amount will look as follow if we start with a $1000 initial deposit:&#x20;

| No. Loop | Collateral | Borrow |
| -------- | ---------- | ------ |
| 0        | $1,000     | $800   |
| 1        | $796       | $637   |
| 2        | $634       | $507   |

| 18       | $16        | $13    |
| 19       | $13        | $10    |
| 20       | $10        | $8     |

### The total borrowed amounts will be as follow:&#x20;

| Total Collateral                  | $4,861.27                                |

| Total Lent out / Original Deposit | <mark style="color:red;">**3.89**</mark> |

### The total yield from the original $1000 deposit:&#x20;

| Original yield from initial collateral | $198.99                                     |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Original APY                           | 19.90%                                      |
| Max net yield after loops              | **$387.88**                                 |
| Max Boosted APY                        | **38.79%**                                  |
| % of original yield                    | <mark style="color:red;">**194.93%**</mark> |
| % Increase                             | <mark style="color:red;">**94.93%**</mark>  |

## <mark style="color:green;">Conclusion</mark>

* By looping your original position 20 times, you can borrow almost 4 times your initial deposit and almost DOUBLE your original GLP Yield.&#x20;
* As such, our products enable users to safely stake USDC while getting 195% of the usual stable $GLP yield, while also only being exposed to minimal risks
