4.2 Borrowing

Before borrowing assets, you need to supply assets into Flux Protocol. The supplied assets will be used as collateral in order to borrow assets from the money markets! Below is the list of the asset’s collateral factor:

cUSDT - 130%

cUSDC - 130%

cDAI - 130%

cETH - 130%

cBTC - 130%

For example, if a user supplies 130 cUSDT into Flux Protocol, the accounts supply balance will increase by 130cUSDT (1cUSDT = 1 USD) and the Borrow Limit will increase by $ 100.

Collateral Rate Example

Once the account’s Collateralization Ratio falls below the Collateral Factor of the collateral (in the example above — 130% of cUSDT), then the user cannot withdraw the supplied assets anymore. The user must increase the account’s Collateralization Ratio by repaying the borrowed assets or supplying more assets into the money market to increase the account’s Collateralization Ratio.

4.2.1 Borrowing assets from the money market

Select the desired money market to borrow assets from, input the amount to be borrowed, click on “Borrow”, and confirm the transaction on ConfluxPortal.
