## **Intro** -  

Just holding your savings in cryptocurrency is not easy there always fear of losing down and as of my experience we only remember the loses while holding not the profit that’s why it become really frustrating while holding just the cryptocurrency  

When it comes to getting interest on your holdings you can get some stress relief by seeing you holding grow daily  

## What Is crypto lending -  

Crypto lending platforms gives you opportunities to lend your token without liquidating them and earn interest  

  

## How it works -  

When someone wants to borrow tokens as loan, they have to agree on paying them back with some interest  

For security borrower has to give the other token as collateral   

So, if the borrower is unable to payback your tokens then collateral is used to pay you back and if borrower pays the loan successful then he will get back his collateral  

That’s why it's a 100% safe way to earn money while just holding your savings  

  

## Now How to do that -  

There are many platforms out there but as of my suggestions here are the four best platform to earn interest   

1) Nexo  

2) Celsius network 

3) BlockFi  

4) Compound Finance (Decentralized) 

5) dYdX  

 

## Let's take a look at each with more details-

## There are several risks involving in crypto lending  

## Why people take a loan on crypto -  

Taking loan also has a better use case like in ico, Let's say there is an ico going on that you want to invest in but you already have your investment in bitcoin that you don’t want to lose because it may increase in value so , you take loan in usdt with bitcoin as collateral and invest in ico after ico is done and you have made your profit you can get back your bitcoin by paying the loan.
