- Collateral Factor

Stella uses the concept of LP as collateral to enable undercollateralized loans. By assigning a collateral factor to each LP, the protocol can determine how much credit is gained from collateralizing an asset. An LP's collateral factors depend on the volatility, trustworthiness, and data backtesting of relevant assets.
