### **How does it work?**

**Long Farming Strategy**

For instance, if you hold ETH and seek to generate yield, you may borrow an equivalent amount of USDC to create ETH-USDC LP, which can earn farming rewards on a DEX (such as Velodrome). Moreover, if you have a bullish outlook on ETH, you could leverage your position by borrowing additional USDC to open a 3X-long position. You can take the long profit when the price rises, while the high returns of leveraged farming can also compensate for potential price volatility.

**Short Farming Strategy**

If you have a bearish outlook on ETH, you could leverage your position by borrowing additional ETH to open a 3X-short position. You can take the short profit when the price drops within a specific range, while the high returns of leveraged farming can also compensate for potential price volatility.
