Borrowing on Qubit
How does borrowing work?
Borrowers start borrowing Tokens by posting collateral to Qubit's Borrow Markets.
This is also known as taking a position on an investment.
You can initiate a position by calling up to the corresponding maximum loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of the Token you are interested in borrowing.
This LTV ratio is equal to the value of the borrowing Tokens to the value of the Tokens posting as collateral, all in USD($). Once sufficient collateral is posted, you immediately receive the Tokens in your wallet and start to pay interest for them, calculated by the Borrower Interest Rate.

For example, if a Borrower is interested in borrowing $200 worth of specific assets to invest elsewhere, the Borrower will be able to borrow a maximum of the LTV × Value of the Collateral, where the current LTV is set to be a maximum of 50% in Qubit protocol.
Therefore, in order to borrow $200 worth of the interested assets, a Borrower posts 1 BNB worth $400 as collateral. The maximum LTV ratio for BNB is 50%. The borrower may borrow up to 200 BUSD. This is 50% of the value in USD of the 1 BNB posted as collateral*. They immediately receive $200 worth of 200 BUSD in their wallet, which they can do whatever they want with, and start paying an Interest Rate for it, which is based on their Utilization Rate of existing Liquidity in the Qubit Markets.
Additional support for other collaterals will be added as the Qubit Supply & Borrow Market develops.
