How to Borrow against stTokens on Umee

Supplying stAssets on Umee

After your stAssets have been transferred to Umee, they can be supplied on the Umee money market to start earning lending yield and used as collateral for cross chain borrowing. On the Umee app, you can see a list of featured markets for different assets.

1. First you need to make sure you have stAssets in your wallet on the Stride network. Quite often they are still on the Osmosis network on the DEX. Therefore, withdraw them back to your wallet. And you need some native Umee tokens to pay the fees (0.5 Umee will be more than enough) You should go here (https://app.osmosis.zone/assets), find your stAssets, and then hit “Withdraw” Umee tokens can be purchased there as well.

2. On the Umee Dashboard https://app.umee.cc/#/dashboard/ you will see a list of available assets to supply or borrow. Find the stAsset you wish to borrow against and select “Transfer.” Send your stATOM from the Stride chain to the Umee chain by entering the amount you wish to send, selecting “Transfer,” and approving the transaction in your wallet.

3. Select stATOM from the chart on the Umee market. You will see the Supply and Borrow charts along with market details discussing the stAsset’s key metrics. You will need a positive wallet balance in order to supply stATOM (your balance should be positive after Step 1). Select “Supply.” Enter the amount of stATOM you wish to supply on Umee, then approve the transaction in your wallet.

Borrowing Against your stAssets
