# What is Notional Exponent

**Notional Exponent** is a leveraged yield protocol that enables users to maximize returns on DeFi yield strategies with leverage.

Notional Exponent is built for DeFi power users who deploy leverage to increase yield. The protocol connects directly to leading lending markets like **Morpho** to source borrow liquidity for specialized yield vaults. This allows users to lever up and increase their returns.

**TLDR**

1. Notional Exponent builds yield strategy vaults that are specifically designed for leveraged yield.
2. Notional Exponent is built on top of external lending protocols like Morpho to source borrow liquidity for looping.
3. The Notional Exponent UI makes it easy to create, manage, and track earnings from leveraged yield strategies.
