Collateral & Safety Guidelines
Borrowing on Juris Protocol is built on a collateralized debt mechanism. To ensure protocol solvency and protect the ecosystem, all loans must be over-collateralized. This means the value of your pledged assets must always exceed the value of your borrowed debt.
The Health Factor ()
The Health Factor is the primary indicator of your account's safety. It is a live calculation of your collateral value versus your total debt.
(Green): Safe. Your position is well-collateralized and can withstand significant market swings.
(Yellow): Warning. Your position is becoming risky. Consider adding more collateral or repaying part of the loan.
(Red): Liquidation Risk. Your collateral is no longer sufficient to back the loan. The protocol may liquidate your assets to cover the debt.
Dynamic Interest Rates
Juris Protocol does not use flat interest rates. Instead, rates are market-responsive:
Pool Utilization: As more users borrow a specific asset, the interest rate for that asset increases. This incentivizes lenders to provide more liquidity and encourages borrowers to repay.
Real-Time Adjustments: Rates are calculated per block, ensuring you always pay a fair market price based on current demand.
Core Safety Strategies
1. Maintain a Safety Buffer
Market volatility is a constant in DeFi. Aim to keep your Health Factor above 1.5 at all times. This provides a "cushion" during flash crashes or sudden price drops in your collateral assets.
2. Diversify Your Collateral Baskets
Juris Protocol allows you to mix assets (e.g., $LUNC and $USDC) in one borrowing account.
Benefit: If one asset drops in price, the stability of the other (like a stablecoin) can prevent your Health Factor from plummeting.
3. Monitor Utilization Trends
Before borrowing, check the "Details" tab of the asset. If utilization is near 90-100%, the interest rate will be at its peak. It may be more cost-effective to wait for utilization to drop or to borrow a different asset.
[!CAUTION]
Liquidation is permanent. Once a liquidation is triggered by the smart contract, it cannot be reversed. Use the real-time dashboards to stay informed of your position's health 24/7.
