The Borrower

PreviousThe LenderNextLiquidation

Last updated 1 year ago

Borrowers are users that take out a loan from a lending market against collateral that they have deposited - as such, borrowers are both lenders (unless using ) and borrowers in a lending market.

Borrow Page

The borrow page outlines key information for a borrower.

Available to Borrow

Available to Borrow refers to the amount of tokens a user may borrow based on their collateral deposited and that collateral's maxLTVmaxLTVmaxLTV.

This is given by:

AvailableToBorrow=ValueOfCollateral×maxLTVAvailableToBorrow= ValueOfCollateral \times maxLTVAvailableToBorrow=ValueOfCollateral×maxLTV

currentLTV

The CurrentLTVCurrentLTVCurrentLTV is a comparison of the value of a user's collateral and loan positions.

This is given by:

CurrentLTV=ValueLoanValueCollateralCurrentLTV= \frac {Value_{Loan}}{Value_{Collateral}}CurrentLTV=ValueCollateral​ValueLoan​​

Health Factor

HealthFactorHealthFactorHealthFactor is a ratio that indicates how close a position is to being liquidated - at a HealthFactorHealthFactorHealthFactor of 0%, the position may be signalled for liquidation.

This is given by:

HealthFactor=1−CurrentLTVLiquidationThresholdHealthFactor=1- \frac {CurrentLTV}{LiquidationThreshold}HealthFactor=1−LiquidationThresholdCurrentLTV​

Any factor that affects a user's currentLTV or the Liquidation Threshold will affect Health Factor, including:

  • Changes in price of collateral token

  • Changes in price of borrowed token

  • Interest accrued

  • Withdrawal of collateral

  • Repayment of loan

Current APR

APRAPRAPR is the annualized interest rate a borrower will pay for a specific token in that silo.

This value is dependent on utilization and the token's interest rate configuration.

Projected APR

Projected APRAPRAPR is the expected APRAPRAPR for specific token in that silo at current utilization rates. This figure will only be shown if APRAPRAPR state is not stable.

APR State

APRAPRAPR state for a token can either stable or unstable.

An unstable APRAPRAPR state is where utilization exceeds the critical threshold, meaning interest rates will increase with a time-based multiplier even if utilization remains constant.

Max LTV

MaxLTVMaxLTVMaxLTV is the maximum CurrentLTVCurrentLTVCurrentLTV that a position can be .

MaxLTVMaxLTVMaxLTV is specific for each token in a given silo.

Liquidation Threshold

The LiquidationThresholdLiquidationThresholdLiquidationThreshold is the CurrentLTVCurrentLTVCurrentLTV at which a user's position may be signalled for liquidation. Note thatn when CurrentLTVCurrentLTVCurrentLTV is equal to LiquidationThresholdLiquidationThresholdLiquidationThreshold, the position's HealthFactorHealthFactorHealthFactor will be equal to zero.

LiquidationThresholdLiquidationThresholdLiquidationThreshold is specific for each token in a given silo.

Max Liquidation Fee

The MaxLiquidationFeeMaxLiquidationFeeMaxLiquidationFee is the portion of a borrower's collateral that will be used to pay liquidators in the event of liquidation.

This is given by:

MaxLiquidationFee=1−LiquidationThresholdMaxLiquidationFee=1-LiquidationThresholdMaxLiquidationFee=1−LiquidationThreshold

Protocol Fee

ProtocolFeeProtocolFeeProtocolFee is the portion of a borrower's interest that goes to SiloDAO.

Borrower Positions Tab

When a borrower successfully makes a deposit, this will become visible in their positions tab.

Borrowers can view their deposit and borrow position as well as some other key metrics.

Borrowing Power Used

BorrowingPowerBorrowingPowerBorrowingPower used is a ratio of a borrower's CurrentLTVMaxLTV\frac {CurrentLTV}{MaxLTV}MaxLTVCurrentLTV​.

Users may not borrow any more or withdraw collateral when BorrowingPowerBorrowingPowerBorrowingPower is 100%.

Liquidation Price

A LiquidationPriceLiquidationPriceLiquidationPrice is shown for both collateral and borrow tokens.

Assuming the price of the collateral token remains stable, liquidation price indicates the price loan token can reach before a position is liquidated (vice versa for the loan token).

While this is not shown on the UI, it is proxied by which also accounts for the collateral's .
