Optimized for @FolksFinance ideal borrow asset for efficiency loops (ALGO/xALGO → borrow USDC → swap → compound). Competitive variable rates with flexible capital rotation. Real yield stacking ALGO/USDC pools on Pact + Folks lending can push 20%+ blended APY (lending + fees + incentives). Deep liquidity on Pact/Tinyman = low slippage.
