Balancer Pools Launch on Gearbox with 10x Leverage for Liquid Staking
Balancer Pools Launch on Gearbox with 10x Leverage for Liquid Staking
🔄 10x Balancer Leverage Unlocked
Gearbox has integrated Balancer pools, enabling users to provide liquidity with up to 10x leverage on StakeWise and Rocket Pool positions.
Key Features:
- Leverage liquidity provision up to 10x on select liquid staking pools
- Integration with StakeWise and Rocket Pool through Balancer
- Built on Gearbox's Permissionless infrastructure
- Curated by kpk for risk management
How It Works: Users can now deposit collateral and borrow up to 10 times their position size to provide liquidity in Balancer pools containing liquid staking tokens. This allows for amplified exposure to LP rewards while maintaining the protocol's correlated debt model for reduced liquidation risk.
The deployment follows Gearbox's recent expansion to Lisk L2, where the protocol offers similar leverage capabilities with institutional-grade security and no platform fees.
Gearbox continues to expand its permissionless lending infrastructure across multiple chains and DeFi protocols.
Turning DEX liquidity into active collateral, @Balancer pools are now live. LP with 10x your size into @stakewise_io and @Rocket_Pool pools, exclusively on Gearbox. Curated by kpk, built on Permissionless.
1/ We’re expanding collateral coverage across kpk-curated markets on @GearboxProtocol with new ETH-based assets from @Rocket_Pool and @stakewise_io to keep offering competitive ETH looping strategies. New collateral: • rETH / WETH • osETH / WETH
Gearbox Introduces Credit Accounts for Real-World Asset Lending in DeFi
Gearbox Protocol has launched Credit Accounts (CAs), smart wallets designed to bring traditional finance lending mechanics to DeFi and Real-World Assets (RWAs). **Key Features:** - Users access actual credit lines rather than token looping mechanisms - Borrowers can obtain up to 40% credit leverage - Credit Accounts enforce logic and constraints required for RWA lending - Capital can be deployed across permitted integrations while maintaining security **How It Works:** Unlike standard lending pools, Credit Accounts function as smart wallets that mirror real-world lending practices. This infrastructure enables borrowers to acquire assets with borrowed capital in a way that aligns with traditional finance credit lines. The system is specifically built to handle the unique requirements of Real-World Assets, which demand more sophisticated lending structures than typical DeFi token operations.
