3. 3. Lend Your Ethereum

   After you have selected a platform for lending your Ethereum, transfer your Ethereum into your wallet on the lending platform. Once it is deposited, it will begin earning interest. Some platforms pay interest on a daily basis, while others do so weekly or monthly.

What to Keep in Mind

Lending your crypto can be risky. Ensure that you do your research before depositing your crypto. Don’t lend more than you’re prepared to lose. Verify their lending practices, reviews, and how they secure your cryptocurrency.
