# Earn

This is where you can explore DeFi and validating opportunities. As simple as that. DeFi and taking part in the validation of the network does not need to be complicated.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Deposit" %}
Supplying and withdrawing liquidity into DeFi and managing positions does not need to be difficult.&#x20;

'Deposit' will show you the assets you can deposit and the expected APY (annual percentage yield) alongside the total deposits made for that asset.&#x20;

### **Supply**

Let's supply some Bitcoin.&#x20;

1. Click on 'Manage' on the right hand side of the asset. You will be prompted with a pop up. Decide the amount of Bitcoin to supply. Then click on 'Approve Deposit (1/2)'.

And that's it for withdraws.&#x20;
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Validating" %}
Become a validator to secure the Glue network, validate transactions, and earn rewards for your contributions. Validators play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the Glue ecosystem.

On the left hand side navigation bar, go to 'Validating' under 'Earn'.&#x20;

Click on 'Contribute GLUE'. You will be prompted with a pop up to select a wallet. If you have added multiple wallets, you can select the desired one from the list.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/xy3QvciARxz4iZeabwle" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Once the desired wallet is selected, you can decide on the 'No Lockup' or 'Locked (Boosted Yield)' options. For the AlphaNet, currently only the 'No Lockup' option is available. Click on 'Confirm Lockup'.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/ntMxGGMmwNcN7hbWBUuF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Decide on the amount of GLUE tokens and click on 'Confirm Amount'.

<figure><img src="/files/I0G4Fc0O2gW6oirbuCSK" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Due to Glue's blockchain architecture, you are required to first prepare GLUE before it is able to be contributed. It's very easy to do so. Just click on 'Step 1/2 - Prepare 20.00 Glue'. In this guide, the pop up shows 20.00 GLUE as that is the amount decided in the last step.&#x20;

MetaMask will now prompt you to confirm the transaction. Click 'Confirm'.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/RMejDkhRCwkImNowEQmN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Now, click on 'Step 2/2 - Confirm Contribution'.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/5rm0GlSSkCNr0dJP8dJj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Confirm the transaction in MetaMask by clicking on 'Confirm'.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/FMmPHOFoDnshHolhuNPC" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Contribution is now confirmed. Click 'Done'.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/BacxZ9buTBWO69d3OcUe" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can now view your position.&#x20;
