Understanding Collateral Baskets
Juris Protocol features Collateral Baskets, allowing you to combine multiple different tokens (e.g., $LUNC and $USDC) into a single account.
Diversification: Mixing stablecoins with volatile assets can help stabilize your Health Factor.
Isolation: Each account's collateral is independent. A liquidation risk in one account does not affect your other accounts.
Pro Tips & Best Practices
[!TIP]
Account Naming: Use functional titles like "Liquidity Reserve" or "Long-Term Hedge." This helps you quickly identify which account needs attention during market volatility.
Monitor Health Factor: Always aim to keep your Health Factor significantly above 1.0. If it drops to 1.0, your collateral may be liquidated.
Gas Fees: Every step (creating the account, pledging collateral, and borrowing) is an on-chain transaction requiring a small amount of $LUNC.
Start Small: If you are new to DeFi borrowing, start with a small amount of collateral to see how the Health Factor moves as asset prices change.
