# Cross-chain lending guide

Now BiFi offers cross-lending service. That means you will be able to lend tokens on one chain and borrow from another using your collateral. In this guide we will see the example of supplying BFC in Bifrost Mainnet and borrowing USDC from BNB chain.

*(Note: For deposits and loans you will need BFC in Bifrost Mainnet to be able to pay the gas fees and use cross-chain services)*

1. Connect to your preferred wallet

#### Market overview

When checking the supply APY you might see a 0% for some tokens in our list. Currently, due to the lack of demand for some tokens, can cause a lack of loan liquidity. Once the borrow for those tokens increases, so will do the supply APY.

#### Glossary

Borrow limit: Also known as LTV, it refers to the amount ratio that the user can borrow against their collateral assets

Margin call limit: Refers to the predefined point at which a borrower's collateral value falls below a certain threshold, triggering a margin call and requiring the borrower to add more collateral or repay the loan to avoid the liquidation of their assets.
