# Creating a Borrow Order

1. **Connect Your Smart Wallet**: To borrow on LENDBIT, first connect your **Coinbase Smart Wallet**. This secure wallet integration ensures that all transactions, including loan disbursements and repayments, are managed seamlessly.
2. **Set Up Your Basename**: Ensure your **Basename** is linked to your account. Your Basename acts as your unique identifier on the platform, helping you manage borrow orders and collateral efficiently.
3. **Order Setup**: Navigate to the "Create Borrow Order" section in the marketplace, where you will set:
   * **Loan Amount**: Specify the amount you wish to borrow based on the available lending pools.
   * **Interest Rate**: Choose an interest rate that matches your borrowing needs, or browse available lending pools with predefined rates.
   * **Loan Duration**: Define the period for loan repayment, typically based on your financial situation and the lender’s terms.
