# Leverage/Earn

The Gearing Token (GT) is an ERC721 token designed for investors seeking leveraged yields with an associated liquidation risk. The Fixed-rate Token (FT) is an ERC20 token that allows investors to earn fixed income by purchasing the token at a discounted price and redeeming it at its maturity date. Please follow the below steps to buy GTs and FTs.

## Buy FT

## Step 1

Select the FT you want to buy. As an example, let's use WETH with a maturity date of December 27, 2024.

## Step 2

Click and type in the amount of FTs you want to buy. The system will automatically calculate the slippage, fee, and effective APY. If everything is correct, click "submit" to submit your order.&#x20;

## Step 3

You must customize token approvals with a spending cap before making deposits. This allows dapps to interact directly with and transfer specific quantities of ERC-20 tokens from your wallets. Click "Next" to proceed.&#x20;
