If you choose to turn on Auto Lend, all of your deposited assets are automatically entered into our lending pool, generating yield for you by default. These assets remain fully margin-eligible, eliminating the friction of having to manage separate “earn” accounts.
Even unrealized position PnL is considered part of your total collateral, which continues to accrue yield until the position is closed. Additional Yield from Stablecoins
Lend USD and stack an additional APY on top of the lending rate when lending eligible stablecoins. This boost comes from Stablecoins Treasury yield exposure through a curated stablecoin basket. Distributions are paid out monthly, in line with how treasury yield is delivered.
Your lent SOL now additionally earns the native SOL staking yield. Backpack Exchange stake their own SOL reserves and provide the full staking yield to all lenders. Your SOL is not only margin-eligible, but also enabling you to passively benefit from staking rewards.
Any assets you lend out can be utilized as margin for new trades, further enhancing your capital efficiency.
Backpack’s yield system is deeply integrated into the exchange’s core risk engine to ensure you retain full collateral value while earning interest.
Backpack’s risk engine, cross margin, and auto-lending are designed to offer every user the kind of capital efficiency typically locked behind VIP tiers on other exchanges.
Lower-tier users are not subjected to punitive margin requirements or restricted from advanced products. We focus on an inclusive design to level the playing field.
If you choose to turn on Auto Realize PnL, our settlement engine allows you to partially realize PnL on a rolling basis, adjusting or locking in gains without requiring a full position close.
This continuous settlement mechanism is particularly useful for hedging, high-frequency arbitrage, or complex multi-leg strategies.
