# Physical Redemptions

The GumBall borrowing mechanism opens the door for creators to be paid using loans on GBT/gNFT positions. For example, a creator deploys a collection that incorporates a service or physical good. Users could pay for the service by staking their position and borrowjng against. The borrowed base asset would then be used to pay the creator for their goods and services. The staked position is still earning yield, this yield can be routed to the redeemer.

Because staked positions accrues fees, this model is  also perfect for creators looking to incorporate wear-to-earn or use-to-earn elements into items. Imagine wearing socks that give you passive income.
