Is there any reason why not add WMATIC too? Or do you have initial liquidity providers only for these two?

what happens if solana has one of its “we are currently offline” problems tho? imho the collateral factor should be way lower as it is adding significant risks

it doesn’t matter if Solana is down. Tokens are bridged so no effect on bridged tokens. can be traded on Algorand DEXes. Or what do you mean? I think collateral factor should be lower if liquidity on pools is poor. and when liquidity is deeper, then collateral factor can be higher.

solana down could have a price affect so we need serious liquidity on chain to allow for safe liquidations. if its not down people could liquidate and bridge then back to solana to swap on there for example

that is true. I think they will have some liquidity provider to offer initial liquidity (or at least I really hope so) and like they say, borrow cap is 50k$.

hey roam, MATIC is going to be replaced by a new token (POL) in their Polygon 2.0 vision

Hey lobo, recent downtimes have not significantly affected the Sol’s price. Current parameters are conservative. All the wrapped assets will be in the lending pools with incentives on top of them
