# How to Farm Volatility

### Getting Started

Once you have acquired your **pTKN** (see [How to Wrap into a Pod](/how-to-guides/how-to-wrap-into-a-pod.md)), you can start **Volatility Farming** by providing liquidity (LP). Every LP position consists of **50% pTKN** and **50% Paired Asset**.<br>

### Step 1: Selecting Your Volatility Farming Position

1. Choose how much **pTKN** you want to provide as liquidity.
2. By default, the protocol will borrow an equal value of the **Paired Asset**, creating a **2x Leverage Factor (LF)**. This means your **debt matches the value of assets deposited**.

### Step 2 (Optional): Adjusting Leverage Settings

For more control over your position, you can adjust your **Leverage Factor (LF)** using the **Advanced Settings**:

* **1x LF (No Leverage)**: You provide an equal amount of **pTKN** and **Paired Asset**, with no borrowing involved.
* **1x - 2x LF**: The position is created using a mix of **depositing and borrowing** the **Paired Asset** to form the 50/50 LP which lowers the leverage factor and **reduces the liquidation price**.
* **>2x LF**: No **Paired Asset** deposit is required. Instead, excess **Paired Asset** is sent to your wallet. The position is opened at higher leverage factor and the debt value exceeds the value of your deposited assets, increasing **liquidation price**.

### Step 3: Reviewing Your Position

Once you've set your LP preferences, the protocol will generate a **summary** of the steps it will execute to create your position as well as a comprehensive Position Summary which can be found under the "Outcome" in the summary.

#### The Comprehensive Position Summary Includes:

* **Loan-to-Value Ratio**
* **Liquidation Price**
* **Expected Yield & Expenses**
* **Projected APY**

Review these details carefully to ensure they align with your risk and yield objectives.

### Step 4: Opening Your Volatility Farming Position

Once you're satisfied with your setup:

1. Click **"Deposit"** to confirm your Volatility Farming position.
2. Approve the transaction in your wallet.
3. Your LP position will be created, and you will start **earning yield** based on wrapping/unwrapping activity in the Pod.

You can monitor and adjust your position anytime through the Peapods **Dashboard** via the [**My Portfolio & Yields** page](https://beta.peapods.finance/me).
