How you can supercharge your yield with Prime and Trader Joe 👇

Follow this step-by-step tutorial to learn more about supercharging your portfolio using Prime and Trader Joe! We’ll share a trading scenario from each chain supported on Trader Joe, giving users a wide range of arbitrage possibilities that are available right now using Prime Protocol.

Scenario 1: Avalanche

  1. Head over to app.primeprotocol.xyz where you can deposit your assets from Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, or Moonbeam. A total of 22 assets are currently supported as collateral on these networks.
  2. Borrow BTC.b and USDC on Avalanche. Your borrowing power is backed by the total value of your entire account on Prime, regardless of what chain(s) you originally deposited on!
    If you don’t have any assets on Avalanche for gas fees, don’t worry! Using Universal Access on Prime allows you to set the Gas Network to Moonbeam to pay your gas in $GLMR and receive your assets on Avalanche 🥂
  3. Now, head over to https://traderjoexyz.com/avalanche/pool and click on the BTC.b — USDC pool. Connect your wallet and enter the amounts you want to add to the pool. Process your transaction and that’s it! You are now earning ~130% APR on Trader Joe using the collateral you borrowed without any slippage fees on Prime!

Scenario 2: Arbitrum

  1. Head over to app.primeprotocol.xyz where you can deposit your assets from @arbitrum, @avax, @BNBCHAIN, @ethereum, or @MoonbeamNetwork. ETH, USDC, DAI, and BTC are currently supported as collateral on these networks.
  2. Borrow ETH and USDC on Arbitrum from Prime. Your borrowing power is backed by the total value of your entire account on Prime, regardless of what chain(s) you originally deposited on!
    Similar to the last scenario on Avalanche, if you don’t have any ETH on Arbitrum for gas fees or you simply want to spend less on fees, you can change your Gas Network to Moonbeam and pay your gas fees in $GLMR and receive your USDC/ETH on Arbitrum.
  3. Now, head over to https://traderjoexyz.com/arbitrum/pool and click on the ETH — USDC pool. Connect your wallet and enter the amounts you want to add to the pool. Process your transaction and that’s it! You are now earning ~90% APR on Trader Joe using the collateral you borrowed on Prime!

  1. Head over to app.primeprotocol.xyz where you can deposit your assets from @arbitrum, @avax, @BNBCHAIN, @ethereum, or @MoonbeamNetwork. ETH, USDC, DAI, and BTC are currently supported as collateral on these networks.
  2. Borrow BTC.b and BNB on BNB Chain from Prime. Your borrowing power is backed by the total value of your entire account on Prime, regardless of what chain(s) you originally deposited on!
    And like before, if you don’t have any $BNB for gas, switch your Gas Network to Moonbeam and pay $GLMR gas fees.
  3. Now, head over to https://traderjoexyz.com/bnb-chain/pool and click on the BTC.b — BNB pool. Connect your wallet and enter the amounts you want to add to the pool. Process your transaction and that’s it! You are now earning a total of ~290% APR on Trader Joe using the collateral you borrowed on Prime!
