Borrow FAQ

How Much Can I Borrow?

The amount you can borrow depends on several factors, including:

  • The value of your supplied assets

  • Your available credit

  • Market liquidity

If your Credit Remaining falls below $0 or 0%, you risk liquidation. You can easily check your Credit Remaining on the "Card" page of the Moonwell app.

Are Interest Rates Fixed?

When you borrow USDC on Moonwell, you are taking out a loan and will accrue interest for as long as the loan remains open. You can find the current borrowing interest rate:

  • On the "Card" page of the Moonwell app.

Important: Interest rates on Moonwell are dynamic, adjusting in real-time based on market demand. Regularly monitor your remaining credit to account for fluctuating rates. Ignoring accumulating interest or market changes could increase your risk of liquidation.

Loan Repayments

Unlike traditional finance, Moonwell loans have no fixed repayment schedule or maturity date.

  • You can maintain your loan indefinitely, provided your Credit Remaining stays above $0 or 0%.

  • If Credit Remaining falls below this threshold, a liquidation event will occur, resulting in the loss of a portion of your collateral to repay the loan.

What is a Liquidation?

Liquidation occurs when assets used as collateral are sold to repay a debt if a borrower fails to meet loan obligations. To avoid liquidation:

  • Monitor your Credit Remaining regularly to ensure it stays above $0 or 0%.

  • Take proactive steps to adjust your collateral or repay outstanding amounts as needed.

Purchase USDC from exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, or decentralized options like on Base.
