New Feature: Pay Interest And Add Collateral Instantly From Your Exchange

Hey Lantern Community,

You can now make payments for your Lantern loans and add collateral directly from your existing exchange and wallets, all without leaving our platform.

But first, market update!

Say goodbye to switching tabs

With Mesh integration, you no longer need to manually copy addresses or switch between platforms to pay your interest. Everything happens in one secure flow, right from your Lantern dashboard. It's faster than traditional transfers, safer than copying addresses manually, and works with exchanges or wallets you already trust. Supported for:

• Interest payments

• Principal payments

• Adding collateral

Supported exchanges:

• Coinbase

• Crypto.com

• Kraken

• Robinhood

• More exchanges coming soon, including Uphold in Q1 2026

Supported wallets:

• MetaMask

• Phantom

Assets: All Lantern-supported assets except HBAR (HBAR support coming soon)
