+## Usage
+
+The monorepo contains directories for:
+- `contracts`: holds Solidity smart contracts
+- `frontend`: NextJS application under `neohack` and subgraph under `ethbank-sub`
+
+To build the contracts:
+```
+yarn compile
+```
+
+Deploy the contracts:
+```
+npx hardhat lz:deploy --network sepolia-testnet --tags <ContractName>
+```
+
+Run the web application:
+```
+cd frontend/neohack
+yarn dev
+```
+
+The application is built on Vercel once is deployed to the repository. The build can be debugged by running:
+```

+### Ethena
+
+Staking/Unstaking on high yield savings account. Also used on staking when users deposit on lending pool. 
+
+**Staking**: The ERC4626 vault that is the interface for the high-yield savings account. Manages the user's rewards.
+
+**Lending**: the funding pool consists in a `Factory` and a `Pool` instance. When a new project the factory keeps track of its address and handles administrative tasks for it such as `staking` and `unstaking`. The pool manages all protocol parameters such as interest rate of return as well as the borrow rate for the institution. The `depositor` is the end-use which `deposits` fund into the protocol. The `bank` staked the liquidity pool during the capital raising fund. The institution is the KYB-ed actor that receives fund from the bank. The institution `repay`s the loan to the bank.
