Collateral Factor Dynamics

Collateral factor dynamics define how much a specific asset can be borrowed against within a protocol. This factor is a percentage representing the maximum loan-to-value ratio for a given asset.

Assets with higher volatility or lower liquidity are assigned lower collateral factors to mitigate risk. The protocol continuously monitors these factors to ensure that the overall risk profile remains within acceptable limits.

By adjusting these factors, governance can manage the risk exposure of the entire lending market. This is a primary tool for risk management in multi-asset collateralized platforms.
