How to earn yield by depositing into the Silk Earn pool

Silk Earn, within the , is a pool to facilitate liquidations for unhealthy loans. In other words, for loans at risk of liquidation, users can deposit SILK and pay off debt of liquidated borrowers in exchange for receiving discounted collateral from liquidated positions (discounts vary by vault; yield may vary based on market fluctuations).

By depositing into this pool, users help SILK remain solvent and properly collateralized by preventing buildup of bad debt. You may hear the term "Minting Silk" which is the act of new Silk being created by depositing acceptable collateral into a minting vault.
