Multiply strategies are ways to *borrow and lend your tokens in smart combinations* so that you can:

* Maximize rewards (staking, fees, etc.)
* Minimize risk (price swings, bad debt)
* Stay efficient in volatile or expensive markets

We’ll break them down one by one, but first:

**Key Terms**

* **Token**: A basic crypto asset (like EGLD).
* **xToken**: A version of a token that earns rewards automatically (like XEGLD = staked EGLD).
* **LP Token**: A token you get for providing liquidity on an exchange. It earns trading fees.
* **APY**: Annual % Yield. How much you're earning or paying over time.
* **Collateral**: What you deposit to borrow something else.
