How to Go Long or Short – and Farm at the Same Time!

Boosted Long: Free Leverage / Hedge If you want to go long AVAX to USDC, you need to open a Credit Account denominated in a stable coin.

Steps:

1. Go to the margin trading

2. Select AVAX long and configure all the parameters

3. Click on the "Boosted Trade" box to turn your long into a farming long

Result: You now have an AVAX long that is potentially paying you a rewards rate (possibly higher than the borrow rate on the USDC). It’s a boosted leveraged trade!

Depending on the interest rates in StackFi vs. external protocols (e.g., Yearn), you could get a self-repaying long or even a net-positive return.

Boosted Short: Free Leverage / Hedge If you want to go short AVAX to USDC, you need to open a Credit Account denominated in AVAX.

Result: You now have an AVAX short that is potentially paying you a rewards rate (possibly higher than the borrow rate on the AVAX). It’s a boosted leveraged trade!
