# Supply

At Yei Finance, depositing assets into our lending pool allows you to earn interest. Simultaneously, these assets act as collateral, enabling the borrowing of additional assets.

### **How to Supply Assets?**

To start supplying assets at Yei Finance, first access the dashboard where you can manage your assets and monitor your earnings. Follow these straightforward steps:

1. **Access the Dashboard:** Visit the Yei Finance platform and navigate to the dashboard. This is your hub for asset management and tracking returns.

2. **View Available Markets:** On the left side of the dashboard, check the "Assets To Supply" list to see which markets are available.
3. **Select the Asset:** Choose the asset you wish to supply as collateral, and click “Supply”.
4. **Specify the Amount:** You can enter the amount manually or use the max option to select the amount you wish to deposit.

6. **Confirm Transaction:** Click the "Supply Asset" button to complete the supply process.

#### **Supply Caps**

Supply caps define the maximum amount of an asset which can be supplied to the protocol. Supply caps can be used to limit the protocol’s exposure to riskier assets and protect against infinite minting exploits. A supply cap is an optional parameter, and the value will depend on on-chain liquidity of the asset and total volume of collateral assets in the pool.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yei.finance/products/yeilend/supply.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
