According to him, now that these functions are implemented in the wallet’s interface, nothing prevents the client’s assets from starting to work.
“It is enough to choose a coin for lending, then a smart contract, and the amount that you are willing to lend. Further, the cryptocurrency falls into the smart contract and begins to earn interest,” a Coinbase Wallet representative explained.
The option is currently available for iOS wallet users, an update for Android is going to appear in the coming weeks.
