How to Borrow

1

Navigate to Borrow

Go to the borrow section on your token’s page.
2

Deposit tokens as collateral

Select the amount of tokens you want to lock as collateral. They will be held by the protocol.
3

Borrow against the floor

You can borrow up to the floor value of every token deposited. Review the amount and the one-off 3% origination fee.
4

Confirm

Approve the transaction. Funds are sent to your wallet immediately.

​
Key Terms

  • Collateral: Your tokens, locked by the protocol during the borrow
  • Borrow limit: Up to the floor value of your deposited tokens — never the market value
  • Origination fee: 3%, charged once at the time of borrowing
  • Ongoing interest: None
  • Liquidation risk: None

​
Repaying

To repay and unlock your collateral, navigate to your active borrows and initiate a repayment. Your tokens are returned to your wallet immediately upon repayment.

​
Loops

To loop (amplify exposure):
  1. Borrow against your current tokens
  2. Use the borrowed funds to buy more of the same token
  3. Your new tokens can themselves be borrowed against
  4. Repeat as desired
Each loop increases exposure to the token’s upside. Because there are no liquidations on RISE, looped positions cannot be force-unwound by the protocol.
Looping amplifies your position size. While liquidation risk is eliminated, the value of your overall position still fluctuates with the token price above the floor.
