Gearbox (GEAR)
Gearbox is a generalized leverage protocol. In essence, the protocol brings about “composable leverage” by allowing users to deposit collateral and borrow from a segregated pool of capital which they can then bring to any whitelisted protocol in DeFi.

- From Our Network (11-11-2022):
"Since Gearbox is currently limiting Credit Account access to whitelisted Leverage Ninjas, with the intent of limiting risk, the recent growth in CAs reflects only a fraction of the total demand to use the protocol. The protocol will fully remove the whitelist in the future, but there seems to be early PMF with borrowers."

How it works
- From Our Network (11-11-2022):
"Gearbox allows users to deploy leveraged positions across DeFi protocols and enable boosted APYs in a composable manner. On Gearbox, LPs supply funds to pools in order to earn interest. Borrowers create a Credit Account (CA), deposit collateral, and obtain up to 10x leverage from the LP pools directly. CA users can then deploy the levered capital on popular DeFi protocols."

Usage
- From Our Network (11-11-2022):
"Since V2 launch on Oct 31, TVL and capital borrowed on Gearbox have increased more than 10x to $100m and $70m, respectively. Currently, the most popular strategies are leveraged stable farming: LUSD3CRV-f and FRAX3CRV-f account for 69% of CA assets."
