About

You can borrow assets using your supplied assets as collateral.

Prerequisites

  1. 1.
    Deposit one or more assets to the protocol. This will be used as collateral to take out an over-collateralized loan.
    • All supported assets are listed in Markets.
  2. 2.
    Enable asset(s) for use as collateral.
    • The collateral toggle feature serves the purpose of allowing users to specify whether they want to use an asset as collateral for borrowing.
    • To designate an asset as collateral, the user must select "YES" on the collateral toggle. This indicates their intention to use the asset as collateral for borrowing purposes.
    • For example, if a user wants to borrow against their supplied GLMR (asset), they need to choose "YES" for their supplied GLMR on the collateral toggle. This indicates that the supplied GLMR will serve as collateral for their borrowing.
    • If a user does not intend to borrow against an asset, they can keep the collateral toggle set to "NO". This indicates that the asset will not be used as collateral for borrowing.
