# Lenders

### Overview

Lenders are any participants who wish to lend USDC to qualified borrowers for fixed terms of 6-month maturities and receive receipt tokens, called Term Bound Yield tokens or `TBYs` for short. 

### Yield Generated

At the end of the token's maturity, the lender will have the ability to redeem their `TBY` for their original principal amount plus any interest that is generated during the 6-month time period.
