# Direct-to-Lending-Platform

Some assets will earn higher APY if deposited straight to a lending platforms (such as Aave or Compound). 

This more straightforward strategy has only two parts:

1. Deposit 100% of the pool asset straight to Aave or Compound (wherever yield is highest)
2. Claim and redeposit the yield as it is accrued

This is a medium-risk, conservative strategy; the contracts it interacts with are well audited, and the collateralization ratios are conservative.

It could be used as a launchpad for more aggressive strategies, by using the deposits to Aave/Compound as collateral for loans which are then deployed in other interest-yielding platforms.\ <br>
