Collateral Monitoring & Liquidation
Borrow provides tools to help you understand the status of your loan, including your current Loan-to-Value (LTV), collateral value, and repayment requirements.
These tools are intended to help you monitor risk while you remain in full control of your loan decisions.
Loan visibility
Your dashboard shows key information for each active loan, including:
current LTV
collateral value
outstanding loan balance
accrued interest (if applicable)
This information helps you stay aware of how market movements or interest changes may affect your loan.
Liquidation risk
If the value of your BTC collateral falls relative to the borrowed amount, the loan may approach a liquidation threshold.
Each lender defines its own parameters for:
liquidation LTV
interest model
required collateral levels
Borrow displays these thresholds so you can understand the conditions under which liquidation may occur.
User actions to manage loan health
You can take steps at any time to adjust your loan and manage risk, including:
adding more BTC as collateral
repaying part or all of the borrowed amount
These actions can help reduce your LTV and lower the risk of liquidation during periods of price volatility.
Notifications & awareness
Borrow highlights important loan status details in the interface, but users are responsible for monitoring their own positions, including:
market changes
collateral fluctuations
lender-defined terms
Loan health may change quickly during periods of market volatility.
Borrow’s role
Borrow provides visibility into your loan and facilitates actions you choose to take.
Borrow does not:
intervene automatically
adjust collateral on your behalf
prevent liquidations initiated by the lender
alter lender-defined parameters
Managing loan risk is ultimately the borrower’s responsibility.
