# Depositing

## Overview

Deposit assets on **Bitcoin** or any asset on **Ethereum, BSC, Avalanche, Klaytn** networks to start earning interest and BiFi rewards. 

For example, when you deposit BNB on BSC network, you earn 2.57% interest (APY) on BNB. Additionally, you earn an additional 15.07% interest in BiFi tokens. As a result, your net APY is **17.64%** by depositing BNB.

You may deposit, withdraw, and claim rewards at any time.
