# Isolated E-Mode

## **Overview**

Isolation Mode enables the safe addition of new or highly volatile assets to the protocol, preventing any potential risks from spreading system-wide. Assets listed in this mode can serve as collateral exclusively for borrowing a predefined set of assets—usually stablecoins—subject to a fixed debt ceiling. This approach effectively isolates risk while broadening the range of supported assets.

## **Why is it important**

When a user chooses to enable an Isolated asset as a collateral

* Only specifically permitted assets can be borrowed.
* Borrowing is capped through a conservative supply cap.
* No additional assets can be used as a collateral.

This mechanism safeguards the protocol by restricting the total debt against higher-risk assets, thereby minimizing potential systemic impact.
