# Contributing to the pool

Visit the staking section within our decentralized application (dapp), click "Supply" and choose the asset and the amount you wish to supply, and submit your transaction\*. Once the transaction is confirmed, your supply is officially registered, and you'll start earning interest. 

### How much will I earn?

You will earn as high as 14.5% APY and a minimum of 12% APY for contributing assets to the Arctic protocol lending pool. Unlock higher yields by owning an allocation of $ARCTIC tokens.

### Is there a minimum or maximum amount to supply?

There is a minimum allowed supply of assets value of  50 $USDT  and a maximum supply of 10,000 $USDT. Please note that during alpha and beta phases of testing Maximum deposit will be limited to assets valued at 500 $USDT. 

### How do I withdraw?

To initiate a withdrawal, navigate to the Staking section of the Dapp and click on "Withdraw." Choose the withdrawal amount and submit the transaction. 

Ensure there is sufficient liquidity (not borrowed) to facilitate the withdrawal. If there's insufficient liquidity, you may need to wait for additional contributions from suppliers or repayments from borrowers.
