Boosted Trades
How to Go Long or Short – and Farm at the Same Time!
Boosted Long: Free Leverage / Hedge If you want to go long ETH to USDC, you need to open a Credit Account denominated in a stable coin.
Steps:
Go to the margin trading
Select ETH long and configure all the parameters
Click on the "Boosted Trade" box to turn your long into a farming long
Result: You now have an ETH long that is potentially paying you a rewards rate (possibly higher than the borrow rate on the USDC). It’s a boosted leveraged trade!
Depending on the interest rates in StackFi vs. external protocols (e.g., Yearn), you could get a self-repaying long or even a net-positive return.
Boosted Short: Free Leverage / Hedge If you want to go short ETH to USD, you need to open a Credit Account denominated in ETH.
Result: You now have an ETH short that is potentially paying you a rewards rate (possibly higher than the borrow rate on the ETH). It’s a boosted leveraged trade!
