# Farm Overview

> Deploy assets from your Margin Account into external yield strategies - single-asset lending pools and multi-asset LP pools.

Farm lets you deploy assets from your **Margin Account** into external yield protocols to earn additional yield. All Farm positions are tracked inside your Margin Account - your Health Factor applies to everything you deploy.

## Two types of Farm pools

Farm supports two pool types - choose based on your strategy and risk appetite:

|                   | Single-Asset Pools                    | LP Pools                                      |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **How it works**  | Deposit one asset, earn lending yield | Deposit two assets, earn trading fees         |
| **Receipt token** | b-Tokens (e.g. bXLM)                  | LP shares                                     |
| **Yield source**  | Borrower interest                     | 0.30% fee per swap                            |
| **IL risk**       | None                                  | Yes - price divergence between the two assets |
| **Complexity**    | Simple - one asset                    | Requires both assets in the correct ratio     |

## Farm vs Earn

Both Farm and Earn let you earn yield - but they are different products:

* **Earn** (Vanna native) - supply assets to Vanna's own lending pools → receive **vTokens**
* **Farm** (external protocols) - deploy assets from your Margin Account to external protocols → receive **b-Tokens** or **LP shares**

Do not confuse vXLM (Earn) with bXLM (Farm). They come from different protocols and behave differently.

## Before you start

* **Margin Account with assets** - you need collateral already deposited. See [Deposit Collateral](/guides/margin/deposit-collateral).
* **Wallet connected** - see [Connect Your Wallet](/guides/connect-wallet).

<Note>
  Farm positions use your Margin Account balance. Deployed assets are still subject to your Health Factor. If your Health Factor drops to 1.1×, your account can be liquidated.
