Yala & NX Finance: Unlocking Solana Lending and Leverage Yields with $YU
With NX Finance, $YU holders can supply $YU to earn interest or leverage your $YU to borrow more $YU, all while stacking boosted Solana Berries.
Alongside Euler, the Yala DeFi Marketplace has onboarded another leading protocol to expand its Money Market to bring users more yield opportunities on Solana.
With NX Finance, $YU holders can supply $YU to earn interest or leverage your $YU to borrow more $YU, all while stacking boosted Solana Berries.
What is NX Finance?
NX Finance is a Solana-native DeFi protocol that leverages Solana’s low fees and high-speed network to offer lending, leveraged trading, and liquidity provision, backed by built-in risk controls and reward mechanisms.
Unlike single-purpose lending or farming platforms, NX Finance integrates multiple strategies to meet different risk profiles, including GMS (General Margin Strategy) and Delta Neutra Strategy. For example, with GMS you can use collateral to borrow assets, which are then auto-deployed into external strategies – such as borrowing $YU and having it automatically deployed into RateX to earn real yield.
On top of these strategies, NX Finance provides multiple layers of rewards, such as Berries in addition to the base yield, giving users the opportunity to boost overall returns.
In short: NX Finance opens the door for $YU holders to access diverse Solana-based yield strategies, enabling your assets to generate steady returns across different risk profiles.
What can you do with your $YU?
With NX integrated into Yala’s DeFi Marketplace, $YU holders can unlock boosted Berries through supply and leverage strategies. Here’s how each option works:
Note: The higher your leverage, the higher your borrowing rate. If the $YU supply in the pool is tight, rates will climb even further – just like taking a taxi: when cars are scarce, prices surge, and the farther you go, the more you pay.
- Use $YU as Collateral to Borrow more $YU → 6× Berries/hour on borrowed amount
- In Yala mainnet, open the DeFi Marketplace tab.
- Select NX Finance and click Go.
- Enter the $YU amount to deposit as collateral, choose your leverage level, and click Add.
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
NX will automatically deposit the leveraged amount into RateX as an LP token, allowing you to earn more Berries compared to using no leverage.
- Supply $YU to the NX lending pool → 3x Berries/hour
- Go to the lend page.
- Find the $YU pool, click Deposit and enter the amount.
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
More Yield Opportunities on Yala
From our first Money Market integration with Euler to the newly launched NX Finance, Yala now gives users the keys to top-tier protocols on both Ethereum and Solana – unlocking real yield across multiple ecosystems.
We’ve also brought $YU to Base, delivering Bitcoin-backed liquidity to one of DeFi’s fastest-growing networks. Base offers a gateway to compliant, accessible DeFi, while letting you earn boosted Berries along the way.
Together, these milestones send a clear message to the industry: Yala is fast becoming the go-to hub for flexible, high-yield DeFi opportunities.

Yala is a native Bitcoin liquidity protocol that channels BTC into yield opportunities across DeFi and RWAs.
Bitcoin holders unlock capital through self-custodial, liquidation-free borrowing by minting $YU, a BTC-backed liquidity asset. In this process, they pay a stability fee directly to $YU depositors, effectively exchanging BTC-backed exposure for portable, capital-efficient liquidity and access to yield without giving up ownership.
Yala’s SmartVault module manages system risk and ensures efficient yield distribution.
