Supply Collateral

Before borrowing, you must provide collateral. Select an asset to use as collateral and deposit it into the protocol. Screenshot 2025-07-14 at 14.47.41.png

Borrow the Asset

After supplying collateral, you can borrow other assets. The amount you can borrow depends on the value of your collateral and the protocol’s loan-to-value ratio. Select the asset you want to borrow, enter the amount (staying within your borrowing limit), and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Screenshot 2025-07-14 at 14.59.45.png

To avoid liquidation, monitor your health factor and repay your loans on time. Toggle “Repay”, select the borrowed asset, enter the amount you wish to repay, and confirm the transaction. Simply select the specific asset you borrowed and repay the loan. Screenshot 2025-07-14 at 15.26.12.png
