FAQ
- How much USDC can I borrow against wstETH?
- Skope sizes a conservative loan at about 43% of your wstETH value (the market's liquidation LTV is 86%). For example, $10,000 of wstETH backs roughly $4,300 of borrowing.
- What is the borrow rate for wstETH?
- The live USDC borrow rate is about 4.71% APY. It's variable and set by the market's interest-rate model; the figure on this page updates regularly.
- Do I keep my wstETH?
- Yes. Your wstETH stays as collateral in your own Morpho position and is returned when you repay. You keep exposure to its price.
- What happens if wstETH drops in value?
- If your loan-to-value reaches the liquidation LTV (86%), the position can be liquidated to repay the debt. Borrowing well below that threshold reduces, but doesn't remove, the risk.
