Collateral Factors

Introduction

Silos are permissionless. Therefore, anyone can create a silo for any token asset, provided a price feed has been set up for the silo's base token asset.
Each silo has the following settings:
  • Maximum Loan to Value (LTV)
  • Liquidation Threshold (LT)
  • Price Feed
  • Interest Model
Every silo supports a custom configuration of the above settings. For example, the USDC Silo might have 90% LTV, 95% LT, a Balancer v2 price feed, and a custom interest model.

Each silo's collateral factors may be adjusted through governance. Through on-chain voting, token holders can:
  • Replace a silo's price feed for another
  • Adjust LTV/LT
  • Change the interest model
