What is the Venus Protocol?
Venus Protocol is a decentralized lending platform on the BNB Chain. It leverages audited smart contracts to provide crypto loan services. You can supply and borrow popular cryptocurrencies on the platform to earn interest.
How to access the Venus Protocol Mini Program on the Binance App?
1. Log in to your Binance App. On the homepage, drag down to access the [Marketplace].
Please make sure your App is updated to the latest version.
2. Select [Venus Protocol] and tap [Connect] to connect your Binance DeFi Wallet. You can create a new wallet or import an existing wallet by your seed phrase.
3. You can now transfer funds from your Spot Wallet to your DeFi Wallet. Select the asset to transfer and tap [Next].
Please note that you will need some BNB in your DeFi Wallet to pay for gas fees on Venus Protocol. We suggest maintaining a balance of $25 in BNB to cover your transactions.
4. Enter the amount to transfer and tap [Withdrawal].
5. After transferring your funds, you can access the Venus Protocol features. On the [Market] tab, you can check each asset’s total supply, APY, liquidity, total borrowed funds, and collateral factor.
An asset’s collateral factor determines the proportion of its value that can be borrowed against. For example, if you supplied $1,000 of BNB with a collateral factor of 80%, your maximum borrow limit is $800. If you reach 100% of your available credit ($1,000), you might be liquidated. Therefore, we recommend you only use a maximum of 40% of your available credit limit if you’re using highly volatile assets as collateral.
