This is the question everyone should ask themselves when assessing any yield opportunity. The main f(x) strategy is the Stability Pool. Many wonder how f(x) can deliver yields while offering no funding / no borrowing cost leverage. You'll find a detailed answer below, but first, note that while the xPOSITIONs incur no recurring borrowing costs (in most conditions), there is a one-time opening and closing fee.

It harnesses different sources of real, organic, and sustainable yields.

$FXN. Indeed, depending on what you'd rather accumulate with your stablecoins: wstETH, stables (fxSAVE), or FXN you can opt for FXN emissions instead of real yield.
