Asymmetry USDaf FAQs

What is Asymmetry USDaf?

USDaf is a synthetic stablecoin associated with Asymmetry Finance. The protocol description says users can open collateralized debt positions (CDPs) with BTC and yield-bearing stablecoins to borrow at fixed rates.

What does borrowing with USDaf cost?

The product promotes user-set fixed interest rates, but USDaf does not publish the rates or other borrowing costs in the project details here. Confirm the rate, any protocol fees and repayment terms in the app before opening a position.

Is Asymmetry USDaf safe to use?

Two audits are listed, but their names, scope and findings are not specified. Before depositing, verify the current collateral options, liquidation rules, contract addresses and audit reports; borrowing against collateral can result in liquidation if your position falls below required thresholds.
