Lend

You can lend Underlying assets by placing a Fixed Yield order.

Order

In the Front End context, an Order is any valid Market Order or Limit Order placed on a given Market to lend, buy or sell Underlying or Token assets.

Orderbook

The table of valid, open Orders for a given Market

Fill

Fill orders are Orderbook Orders that fulfill your Market Order or Limit Order partially or in full.

Fixed Yield

A Fixed Yield order uses the Swivel protocol to give the user an immediate yield for lending Underlying assets. When a Fixed Yield order is filled, Swivel mints an equal amount of nToken and zcToken on the Underlying, leaving the zcToken in your balance and immediately selling the nTokens on the Orderbook, and returning the Underlying to your Balance.

Amplified Yield (deprecated: 'Floating')

An Amplified Yield order purchases nTokens from the marketplace and adds them to your Balance, where they will continue to earn a variable yield until the given Market matures.

Sell

You can sell your nTokens or zcTokens back to the Orderbook at any time with a Sell order.

Market Order

Placing an Order as a Taker, transacting at the best available price on the Orderbook.

Limit Order

Placing an Order as a Maker, transacting at a determined price for the given order type and Market. Valid unfilled Limit Orders appear in your Open Limit Orders view. Depending on Order size and Orderbook volume, Limit Orders may be filled partially over an undetermined amount of time.
