# Methods

Idle allows you to lend different underlying assets (e.g. *DAI*, *USDC*) through the use of IdleTokens. So for each underlying asset supported there is a corresponding IdleToken (e.g. IdleDAI, IdleUSDC) implemented as an IdleToken instance.

### Core methods

[`mintIdleToken`](/developers/best-yield/methods/mintidletoken.md)**:** lends assets in Idle and receives IdleTokens back.

[`redeemIdleToken`](/developers/best-yield/methods/redeemidletoken-1.md)**:** redeems your assets and interests and burns IdleTokens.

[`redeemInterestBearingTokens`](/developers/best-yield/methods/redeeminterestbearingtokens.md)**:** redeems interest-bearing assets and burns IdleTokens.

[`rebalance`](/developers/best-yield/methods/rebalance.md)**:** reads allocations from IdleRebalancer and changes IdleToken pool allocations if needed.

[`tokenPrice`](/developers/best-yield/methods/tokenprice.md)**:** gets current IdleToken price without fees.

[`getAPRs`](/developers/best-yield/methods/getaprs.md)**:** gets APRs from all implemented protocols.

[`getAvgApr`](/developers/best-yield/methods/getavgapr.md)**:** gets current IdleToken average APR.

[`userAvgPrices`](/developers/best-yield/methods/useravgprices.md): gets avg price per IdleToken paid by a user (used to calculate earnings).

[`getGovTokensAmounts`](/developers/best-yield/methods/getgovtokensamounts.md): gets the number of redeemable governance tokens a user can withdraw.

[`getAllocations`](/developers/best-yield/methods/getallocations.md): gets an array with the last allocations.

[`getGovTokens`](/developers/best-yield/methods/getgovtokens.md): gets an array with the governance token addresses distributed.

[`getAllAvailableTokens`](/developers/best-yield/methods/getallavailabletokens.md): gets an array with all interest-bearing token addresses supported.

[`getProtocolTokenToGov`](/developers/best-yield/methods/getprotocoltokentogov.md): gets the governance token associated with a specific interest bearing token, if any.

[`tokenPriceWithFee`](/developers/best-yield/methods/tokenpricewithfee.md): gets the current IdleToken price for a specific user, counting fees
