# Native Pool FAQ

#### What is Native Pool?

Native Pool is an earn product on Native Core. You deposit supported assets to earn yield and can withdraw them at any time using the available withdrawal options.

#### How do I start earning?

You can deposit a supported asset directly into Native Pool from an EVM network, or deposit into Native Core and move your available Core balance into Native Pool. Check the app for the currently supported assets, minimum deposit requirements, and any first-time account-activation fee.

#### Where does yield come from?

Yield is funded by demand for capital on Native Core, including verified market maker utilization and trading fees generated through Native Relay. Yield is variable; it is not a guaranteed rate of return.

#### How is yield distributed?

Native distributes yield to eligible earning balances. Your allocation is based on your eligible balance for that asset when a distribution is made. The app displays current yield information and balance details.

#### What happens when I request a scheduled withdrawal?

The requested amount moves from your earn balance into a pending withdrawal and stops earning yield. You can claim it after the pending period displayed in the app. You may cancel a request before it becomes claimable to return the amount to your earn balance. Only one scheduled withdrawal can be pending at a time.

#### Can I withdraw immediately?

Yes. An instant withdrawal is available subject to the fee and availability shown in the app. Review the amount you will receive before confirming.

#### What happened to Fixed-Term and Flexible Earn?

New deposits use Native Pool. If you have a legacy position, use the Legacy entry in the app to review it and, where available, migrate it to Native Pool.

#### What are the risks?

The value of deposited assets can change, and yield can vary with market and product activity. Smart-contract, operational, liquidity, and market risks may also affect the product. Review [Risks](/native-dev/concepts/risks.md) before participating.

#### How does Native protect assets?

Native applies controls including monitored market maker access, collateral and liquidation processes, independent balance checks, and the ability to pause relevant product activity during an incident. These controls reduce risk but cannot eliminate it.
