Are you ready to unlock higher yields on your lending? If you're an active DeFi lender on platforms like Aave, Compound, Morpho, or Fluid, it’s time to explore Notional Finance.

With our Newcomer Starter Boost, we’re offering a 5% APY bonus for your first week as a Notional lender. Read on to see how you can benefit from this limited-time offer and why it’s worth making the switch.

What is the Newcomer Starter Boost?

Here’s how it works:

  • Deposit into Notional's lending, fixed-rate lending or liquidity provision products on Ethereum Mainnet or Arbitrum.
  • Maintain your deposit for at least 30 days to qualify.
  • Your APY boost will be transferred to you in the token you deposited on January 15.

Limits apply:

  • Maximum individual deposit eligibility: 500,000 USDC and 200 ETH.
