We’ll dive into how to borrow tokens on Solana.How lending platforms work
Before we start, it's important to understand how lending platforms like Solend and Kamino Finance work and the risks involved in liquidation, which depend on the liquidation threshold. To learn more about this, you can check out our tutorial on how crypto lending works. If you borrow tokens, you will have to pay a certain interest for it, which varies depending on supply and demand.Set up a wallet and get funds
For this tutorial, you will need a Solana wallet. If you don’t have one, check out our tutorial on how to get started with Phantom wallet. You will also need SOL to pay for gas fees. To add funds, watch our tutorial on how to use Phantom wallet.Using Kamino Finance
Now, let’s start! In this example, we will use Kamino Finance. To access it, tap on the explorer icon, type "Kamino" in the search bar, and access the website. You will see an interface where you can lend and borrow tokens. First, you will need to supply tokens to use as collateral. To learn how to supply tokens, you can check out our video on how to stake tokens on Solana. When supplying tokens, it’s important to check the LTV or Loan-to-Value ratio. This is the liquidation threshold we mentioned earlier. Once you have supplied tokens, you are ready to borrow. Search for the asset you want to borrow on the market. In this case, let’s borrow SOL. You can see the borrow annual percentage yield, which is the annual interest you will have to pay. This interest is automatically added to your borrowed amount over time. Now, you need to tap on “Borrow.” Type the amount of tokens you want to borrow, taking into account the LTV value of your supplied asset, and try to borrow a smaller percentage of your LTV value to reduce the risk of liquidation. Then tap “Borrow” again. Confirm the action in your wallet, and once the transaction is executed, you will see your borrowed balance. You can repay the debt whenever you want by tapping on “Repay” and typing the amount of tokens you want to repay.Continue reading by joining Cryptonary Pro

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
