# 05. Lend & Borrow

In the StarkNet network, there are several lending platforms that are particularly noteworthy, such as [**Nostra.Finance** ](/knowledge-base/protocols-guides/nostra-finance.md)and [**zklend.com**](/knowledge-base/protocols-guides/zklend.md). Nostra has recently been featured on **Starknet.Quest** (<https://starknet.quest/quest/20>), where users can earn NFTs by completing various tasks. It's also worth noting that when aiming for airdrops, lending platforms are the most cost-effective tool for generating volume.
