When you deposit an XPR Network wrapped xToken to a Lending Pool, it becomes an L-Token. For example, XBTC, on Metal X Lending becomes LBTC. The quantity of the L-Token represents your share in the lending pool.
To simplify the experience, by default L-tokens are not withdrawable from contracts.

When a cryptocurrency is deposited into your WebAuth wallet, a wrapping process is initiated via a smart contract. In short, the deposited cryptocurrency becomes an xToken, reference by an "X" in the token name (ie XBTC, XETH etc). xTokens enjoy all of the benefits of the XPR Network blockchain, including:
- Instantaneous transactions
- No gas fees for end-users
- The ability to process micro-transactions
- Access to Metal X
- Easy integration into XPR Network dApps and projects
