# Lenders & Borrowers benefits

Lenders come with USDC and mint csUSDL. Borrowers come with blue-ship collateral (selected by Steakhouse) and mint csUSDL. Overall, we are lending a yield bearing stablecoin to blue chip assets. 

#### ***Important:*** 

*For graphical representation and simplicity, **wUSDL** is represented as **USDL**. wUSDL is the wrapped version of USDL, designed for enhanced DeFi composability across multiple chains and ecosystems.*
