Adding and Removing Collateral

Why Adjust Collateral?

  • Increase Health Factor: Adding collateral can increase your health factor, making your loan position more resistant to liquidation. This is beneficial if you anticipate potential market volatility that could decrease the value of your existing collateral.

  • Capital Efficiency: Removing collateral can free up capital for other uses, such as reinvesting or deploying it in other opportunities. However, the remaining collateral after removal should still maintain a healthy level and not hit the Liquidation Loan-to-Value (LLTV) ratio.

How to Add/Remove Collateral

Removing Collateral:

  1. Initiate Removal: Borrowers can initiate the collateral removal process through the TSI platform.

  2. Automated Transfer: Once the removal is initiated, the TSI system automatically unlocks the specified amount of collateral from the lender's wallet and transfers it to the smart contract. This transfer is based on the lender's pre-approval during loan creation.

  3. Collateral Return: The smart contract then transfers the collateral to the borrower's wallet.

  4. On-Chain Update: The smart contract updates the collateral amount associated with the loan. This ensures that the updated collateral information is used for any future liquidation calculations.

Adding Collateral:

  1. Initiate Addition: Borrowers can initiate the collateral addition process through the TSI platform.

  2. Collateral Transfer: The borrower transfers the desired amount of additional collateral to the smart contract.

  3. Collateral Deposit: The smart contract transfers the collateral to the lender's wallet and locks it.

  4. On-Chain Update: The smart contract updates the collateral amount associated with the loan, ensuring that the updated information is used for any future liquidation calculations.

Important Considerations:

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: When adding or removing collateral, be mindful of the LTV ratio. Ensure that your loan remains sufficiently collateralized to avoid liquidation.

  • Risk Management: Carefully assess the risks before removing collateral. A lower health factor increases your vulnerability to liquidation if the market moves against your position.

  • Monitoring: It is crucial to monitor your loan status and the value of your collateral, especially after adjusting your collateral levels.
