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

    How to Pay Interest (USDC) Through Your Exchange in 4 Simple Steps

    Log in to your Lantern dashboard and click the "Make Payment" button on your active loan.

    Step 4: Review and Confirm

    After connecting your exchange, review:

    • The payment amount

    • The network you're using (Ethereum or Solana for USDC)

    • Any applicable fees

    Click "Pay with Coinbase" (or your selected exchange) to complete the transaction.
