Borrow

The Borrow page is where you open a new trove (CDP) by depositing collateral and minting BitUSD. Here you decide how much collateral to lock and how much BitUSD to borrow.


πŸͺ™ Step 1 – Select Your Collateral

At the top, you’ll see the asset you’re using:

  • Collateral Asset: In this example, ROSE.

  • Balance: Your available wallet balance.

  • Allowance: Amount approved for the protocol to use. (You may need to increase allowance before borrowing).

  • Use Native Token: Option to deposit the asset in its native form instead of a wrapped version.


πŸ’΅ Step 2 – Choose Borrow Amount

  • Borrowing BitUSD: Enter the amount of BitUSD you want to mint against your collateral.

  • Slider Bar: Adjust the amount and instantly see your collateral ratio change.

    • The bar is color-coded:

      • Green = Safe

      • Orange = Risky

      • Red = Liquidation risk


πŸ“Š Step 3 – Review Position Details

On the right side, a real-time summary shows:

  • Debt: Your borrowed BitUSD (e.g., 2.75 BitUSD).

  • Collateral Ratio: Current health of your position (e.g., 155%).

  • Position Risk: Safe / Caution / Danger depending on CR.

Detailed Summary:

  • Collateral Asset: Value of your deposit (e.g., $44.4).

  • Borrowed BitUSD: Range from current to new debt (e.g., 0 β†’ 2.86 BitUSD).

  • Collateral Ratio: Updated after borrowing (e.g., 155%).

  • Borrow Fee: Current borrow fee in % (updates every 30s).

  • Liquidation Price: Price of collateral at which your trove will be liquidated.

  • Your Total Debt: The amount of BitUSD you’ll owe including fees (e.g., 2.76 BitUSD).


βš–οΈ Borrowing Fee

  • A small one-time fee applied when minting new BitUSD.

  • Shown live and updates automatically every 30 seconds.

  • Example: 1% borrow fee β†’ 2.75 BitUSD borrowed = 0.01 fee added.


πŸš€ Step 4 – Deposit & Open Trove

Once you’re satisfied with your parameters:

  1. Click Deposit & open trove.

  2. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

  3. Your trove is created, collateral is locked, and BitUSD is minted directly into your wallet.
