🏋️Collateral

Accepted assets per network, and how collateral secures every loan

Borrowing on the Fixed-Rate Lending Protocol requires over-collateralization: you deposit assets worth more than you borrow. This replaces credit checks — anyone can borrow, and lenders are protected because under-collateralized positions are liquidated.

Asset notes

  • USDFC — Secured Finance's own FIL-backed stablecoin, minted via CDP on FVM. Learn more.

  • iFIL / wpFIL (liquid staking tokens) — represent staked FIL that keeps earning staking rewards while serving as collateral. For example, stake FIL on GLIF to receive iFIL, then deposit the iFIL as collateral — a dual-yield position. Both are accepted on Filecoin.

  • axlFIL — Axelar-bridged FIL on Ethereum.

  • JPYC — JPY-pegged stablecoin; fixed-rate JPY lending markets are live on Ethereum (as of July 2026).

  • RWA collateral — tokenized money-market fund collateral (uMINT, via DigiFT), accepted as collateral on Ethereum (as of July 2026).

How collateral is monitored

  • The protocol values collateral continuously using Chainlink price feeds, plus Mark-to-Market pricing for ZC bond positions.

  • Your Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio — debt value over collateral value — is visible in the Portfolio risk panel.

  • If LTV reaches the liquidation threshold, the position can be liquidated.

Multi-collateral is supported: you can back a single borrowing book with several asset types, diversifying against any one asset's volatility.

Common questions

What happens if my collateral value drops?

Your LTV rises. If it reaches the liquidation threshold, 50% of your debt can be liquidated — or 100% if LTV deteriorates past the full-liquidation threshold — with a fee taken from your collateral. Prevent this by adding collateral or reducing debt early (unwind the position, or place an opposite order for part of the amount) — see Liquidation.

Can I withdraw collateral while I have open borrows?

Yes, as long as the remaining collateral keeps your LTV safely below the threshold. The app blocks withdrawals that would put your position at immediate risk.

Can ZC bonds themselves be used as collateral?

Yes — lending positions can serve as collateral for borrowing in the same currency, enabling yield-spread strategies. See ZC Bonds as Collateral.
