# Venus

> Supply assets to Venus's core lending markets or its Flux vaults on BNB Chain.

Venus runs two distinct products on BNB Chain, both integrated by yield.xyz under separate provider IDs: Venus core pools (`venus`, public type `lending`) and Venus Flux (`venus-flux`, public type `vault`). Both take a deposit and mint an ERC-4626-style or protocol-native receipt token.

## Venus core pools (lending)

Venus's native lending markets, spanning a broad set of BNB Chain assets including USDC, USDT, BNB, DAI, CAKE, SOL, XRP, DOT, AAVE, UNI, and LINK. You supply a token and receive the matching `v`-prefixed vToken (for example `vUSDC`), redeemable for the underlying asset at any time as its exchange rate rises. Yield IDs follow `binance-{token}-venus-lending`; query [`GET /v1/yields?providers=venus`](/api-reference/YieldsController_getYields) for the live list.

Entering supplies the token and mints vTokens in the same flow. Exiting redeems vTokens for the underlying asset; there is no cooldown. Interest accrues to the vToken's exchange rate automatically; Venus core pools expose no manual reward-claim action through yield.xyz.

## Venus Flux (vault)

Venus Flux vaults are ERC-4626 vaults, built on the same vault infrastructure as Fluid, that allocate deposits across Venus lending markets. You receive an `f`-prefixed share token (for example `fUSDC`, `fWBNB`).

| Input token | Share token |
| - | - |
| USDC | `fUSDC` |
| USDT | `fUSDT` |
| United Stables (U) | `fU` |
| WBNB | `fWBNB` |

The WBNB vault also accepts native BNB: pass no `inputToken` (or the native symbol) and yield.xyz wraps it before depositing, and unwraps it back to native BNB on exit.

Exits are instant: no cooldown or withdrawal queue. Request an exit with `amount`, `shareAmount`/`shareAmountRaw`, or `useMaxAmount` for a full exit. Interest accrues automatically into the share price; there is no manual claim step and no separate incentive token on any Flux vault.
