Are my assets safe on layer 2?
In order to give you the best user experience, Vertex is built on Arbitrum - an Ethereum L2. Arbitrum is an optimistic rollup that improves Ethereum's scalability, offering faster transactions and lower fees while providing the security of Ethereum. Ethereum's security comes from it's consensus method, Proof-of-Stake, where a network of nodes (decentralization) validate transactions.
What deposits/collateral does Vertex accept?
Any spot market added to Vertex will be available as collateral options on Vertex. This means that you can hold and earn interest on your favorite assets while using them as margin to trade and borrow. As Vertex grows and introduces new spot markets, more options will become available.
How do I earn interest after depositing?

Vertex is built with an integrated money market at it's core. When you deposit assets into the protocol, other traders can borrow those assets to take leverage. Lenders are secured through over-collateralized smart-contracts.

TLDR: Your assets are SAFE and EARN MORE on Vertex.
