BORROW

The BORROW page can be used to borrow Terra stablecoins from Anchor. The protocol requires users to provide bAsset tokens as collateral before making a loan. To create bAssets from your staking tokens, see the BOND page guide.

Borrows can be made until the loan's borrowing usage reaches the borrowing limit, calculated based on collateral types, their prices, and deposit amount. Loans with a borrowing usage higher than the borrowing limit can be liquidated, and thus it is important for borrowers to closely maintain their borrowing usage as changes in collateral prices may occur.

As of March 17th, 2021, Anchor only supports Terra USD as the base currency.

The BORROW page displays:

• Collateral Value: Total USD-denominated value of all collaterals provided by user.

• Borrowed Value: Total USD-denominated value of Terra stablecoins borrowed by user.

  • Borrowed: Total amount of Terra stablecoins borrowed by user.

• Net APY: Net annualized percentage yield (APY) on borrows from both Borrow APR and Distribution APY

  • Borrow APR: Current annualized percentage rate (APR) of borrow interest.

  • Distribution APY: Current APY of ANC distribution to borrowers

• Loan Position Graph: Displays the risk ratio of user's loan position.

  • Borrow Limit: Maximum USD value borrowable by user based on provided collaterals.

  • Borrowed Value / Borrow Limit Ratio: Ratio value that signals user loan position's liquidation riskiness. Calculated by dividing user's borrowed value with their borrow limit.
