🌩️High Efficiency Mode (E-mode)

Understanding E-mode in Pu239 Governance

E-mode, or High Efficiency Mode, simplifies the borrowing process when the collateral and the borrowed assets exhibit similar price movements. This feature groups together assets like DAI, USDC, and USDT, all stablecoins tethered to the USD, in E-mode. For example, using DAI as collateral in E-mode allows borrowers to access more of similar assets such as USDC or USDT. E-mode restricts borrowing to within the same asset group, like stablecoins, while other assets can still be used as collateral with standard loan-to-value (LTV) and liquidation guidelines.

Activating E-mode

To turn on E-mode, go to your dashboard and find the "Your Borrows" menu. There, you will see an option labeled "Enable E-mode." Initially, this will show that E-mode is off. Simply click the button to activate it and follow the on-screen instructions. Once activated, E-mode allows borrowers to increase their borrowing limits up to 97% LTV, but only within the same asset type, like stablecoins.

Disabling E-mode

To turn off E-mode, return to the "Your Borrows" section and choose "Disable E-mode." Follow the instructions to deactivate this feature.

Impact of E-mode on Borrowing

Activating E-mode boosts the borrowing capacity for assets within the same E-mode group, promoting more efficient borrowing strategies.
