# Use Cases Yona Network is a Bitcoin L2 specializing in DeFi infrastructure. The key distinction from non-Bitcoin blockchains is that Yona Network users operate within the Bitcoin realm itself, without the need for wrapped assets. The main use cases include: * **DEXes**. Users can trade BTC and assets like BRC-20 and on spot in both AMM and orderbook-based protocols. * **Perps.** Trading perps for the same asset classes. * **Meme Coins**. Yona will host a unique meme coin culture combining both Solana and Bitcoin worlds. * **Lending and Borrowing.** Users can lend their Bitcoin to others and earn interest, or borrow Bitcoin by providing collateral. * **Stablecoins.** BTC and other Bitcoin assets can be used as collateral to mint stablecoins, which are pegged to stable assets like the USD. * **Yield Farming and Staking.** Users can stake their Bitcoin in DeFi protocols to earn rewards, or participate in yield farming to maximize returns. * Restaking primitives: Building LRTFi infrastructure and BTC restaking capabilities in restaking protocols via Yona Network --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
