I need cash but I do not want to sell my SOL

„I need liquid money and I do not want to sell my SOL. Is there another route, and how risky is it?“

Collateral logic from zero: what LTV is, how liquidation works, and why it is not a surprise but a threshold known in advance. Before connecting to any protocol — DeFi risks and approval hygiene. It ends with a real position on Kamino and a clear picture of how borrowing looks from a Lithuanian tax standpoint.

Who it is for

Someone who already holds SOL in their own wallet and wants to understand borrowing against collateral — not for leverage, but to keep the asset unsold.

What you will learn

You will be able to state your LTV and liquidation price from memory, understand why the protocol calculates more strictly than the simple formula, and know what you are actually approving and how to revoke it. You will also know when a taxable event occurs in Lithuania and when it does not.

Not for you if

Not for you if you do not yet hold crypto in your own wallet — take the first-purchase path first. Not for you if you want maximum leverage: this path is built around a conservative, low LTV. Not for you if you would rather not look at your position once a week. And importantly — this path does not teach what to do with the borrowed money.

Free material is easy to put off

Something practice teaches: when you paid nothing to learn, it is easy to postpone learning indefinitely. If these lessons actually gave you something — saved you a mistake, or explained what nobody else did — you can pay whatever you think they were worth.

This is not a price, a subscription, or a fee for access. The amount is yours to choose, and paying nothing is entirely fine.

Solana address

Solana network only

Send SOL or SPL tokens (e.g. USDC) only on the Solana network. Sending from an exchange over a different network loses the funds permanently — nobody can recover them.

What you get for it

Nothing extra, and that is deliberate. Every lesson, all three difficulty levels and every calculator stay free and sign-up-free, with or without a donation. There is no gated section, no share of profits, no future token and no claim on anything.

Where the money goes

A donation becomes my own money. I use it to keep the site running and to fund a public demonstration position on a lending protocol — real money, so the lessons have something to show instead of only theory. I publish the results, losses included, publicly and free for everyone. It is my position and my risk, not a pooled fund.
