How to claim faucet on V2

  1. Please make sure you have some Sepolia ETH to facilitate the faucet claim.
  2. Each user can claim faucet once

Confirm from your wallet.

A basket of faucet tokens will be sent to your wallet upon confirmation of the transaction.

Supercharged Mode

You can switch to Supercharged Mode for optimized capital efficiency, allowing you to borrow more asset with collateral assets of similar value.

Currently, we support two categories of assets on Sepolia: 1) stablecoins; and 2) ETH and its derivatives. Please select your preferred category, and you will be able to see the elevated LTVs under the Supercharged Mode.

Click on ‘Enter Supercharged Mode’ to continue.

In Supercharged Mode, the LTV for stablecoins has been increased to 90%.

For example, if you supply 10,000 USDC as collateral, you can borrow up to $9,000 worth of other stablecoins.

You can exit ‘Supercharged Mode’ and switch back to the global pool from the Dashboard.

Segregated Mode

We have enabled three assets under the Segregated Mode on the Sepolia testnet: ARB, MAR, and rETH.

It’s worth noting that these segregated assets are not considered collateral by default; you will need to tick the box to enable them for use as collateral to back your loans.

Additionally, you can only enable segregated assets as collateral when you have NO other assets supplied as collateral at the same time — they are contradictory to each other.

We have implemented customized risk parameters for each supported segregated asset, including a borrowing cap for each borrower and for each asset during a specific period, among other factors. You can view the available borrowing amount for the selected asset on the same page.

As a gentle reminder, please ensure that you maintain your Adequacy Ratio above 1 to prevent loan defaults and collateral liquidation.
