Select your strategy: Navigate to the “Earn” tab and select “Strategy”. Select one of the three different strategies.
Set your position: Enter the amount of Sui you would like to deposit and the number of times you would like to leverage. This number effectively represents the number of ‘loops’ that will occur, i.e. your SUI will be staked for vSUI, which will be lent as collateral to borrow SUI, which will be staked for vSUI etc.
Confirm: Click “Supply” to initiate the looping sequence and sign transactions to confirm.
