Avantis has integrated [Morpho](https://app.morpho.org/?network=base), a leading onchain lending / borrowing protocol. Here's what this integration enables for our liquidity providers and traders:

1. **Multi-collateral trading**

Borrow USDC on Base using your existing crypto portfolio (BTC, ETH and alts) to simply continue doing what you do best: perps trading!

Pay back seamlessly in one bundled transaction after your trade is complete. Increased USDC gives traders access to increased leverage and exposure, without ever selling your crypto assets.

2. **Boosted Avantis XP + yields**

Avantis' vault deposits sometimes offer a higher APY (for locked deposits) than Morpho's borrowing APY.

Depending on lock duration / yields, you can earn net positive yields (+ boosted Avantis XP), without ever selling your Bitcoin or ETH 🤯.

3. **Supported Markets**

Avantis has integrated several markets that support USDC loans on Base. This includes:

\- cbETH (yield bearing)

\- wstETH (yield bearing)

\- cbBTC

\- ETH

However, we'll launch several new markets soon, giving our users the ability to leverage their entire crypto portfolio on Base to borrow USDC and maximize their potential.&#x20;
