<summary><strong>Security</strong></summary>

*<mark style="color:green;">Can funds be frozen?</mark>*

Unilend is a decentralized protocol, meaning that user funds are controlled solely by the users themselves. There are no mechanisms within the protocol to freeze user assets.

*<mark style="color:green;">Where are the supplied tokens stored?</mark>*

When tokens are supplied, they are deposited into Interest Bearing contracts deployed for each token within the protocol.

For example, the Interest Bearing contract for wUNIT0 can be found here: [Explorer Link](https://explorer.unit0.dev/address/0x94b514606C161677d1B243d4c4b069B3f2Fb8682).

All contracts are publicly accessible and can be verified in the blockchain explorer: <https://explorer.unit0.dev/>

<summary><strong>Borrowing</strong></summary>

*<mark style="color:green;">How do I borrow?</mark>*

Users can borrow by providing collateral that exceeds the desired loan amount. The borrowing process is initiated through the Unilend web application.

*<mark style="color:green;">How much can I borrow?</mark>*

The borrowable amount is determined by the value of the collateral provided and the specific parameters of the asset being borrowed. Each asset has its own loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, which dictates the borrowing capacity.

*<mark style="color:green;">How do I repay my borrow position?</mark>*

Repayments can be made through the Unilend application by selecting the borrowed asset and specifying the amount to repay. Users can choose to repay partially or in full.

*<mark style="color:green;">How much would I pay in interest?</mark>*

Interest rates are variable and depend on the asset borrowed and current market conditions. The applicable interest rate is displayed at the time of borrowing and can be monitored through the user's dashboard.

*<mark style="color:green;">When do I need to pay back the borrow position?</mark>*

There is no fixed repayment schedule; however, borrowers must maintain their collateralization ratio to avoid liquidation. It's essential to monitor the health factor of the borrow position to ensure it remains above the liquidation threshold.

<summary><strong>Liquidations</strong></summary>

*<mark style="color:green;">What is a Health Factor?</mark>*

The health factor is a numeric representation of the safety of a user's borrow position. A higher health factor indicates a safer position, while a value below 1.0 signifies that the collateral is insufficient, leading to potential liquidation.

*<mark style="color:green;">What happens when my health factor is reduced?</mark>*

A reduced health factor indicates increased risk of liquidation. If the health factor falls below 1.0, the borrow position becomes under-collateralized, and the collateral may be liquidated to repay the debt. Users should monitor their health factor and adjust their positions accordingly to avoid liquidation.
