Borrow

By depositing supported tokens as collateral at Yei Finance, you gain the ability to borrow various assets. The terms of borrowing, such as the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, conform to predefined risk parameters, with interest accruing according to these terms.

How to Borrow?

Preparing to Borrow

To enable borrowing, first deposit assets as collateral. The maximum amount you can borrow depends on:

• The value of your deposited assets.

• The type of assets you have deposited.

• The liquidity available in the assets you wish to borrow.

Potential Risks of Borrowing

Borrowing carries inherent risks, especially if market conditions fluctuate significantly:

• Risk of Liquidation: If your Health Factor falls below 1, the protocol may initiate liquidation of your collateral to cover the debt, which could lead to substantial losses.

Borrow Caps

Borrow caps define the maximum amount of an asset which can be borrowed. Borrow caps can be used to prevent traditional and flash borrowing of an asset which may experience a price exploit and lead to protocol insolvency. A borrow cap is an optional parameter, and the value will depend on-chain liquidity of the asset and total volume of borrowed assets in the pool.
