Introduction to UX
UX is the most programmable, safety-first lending algorithm built as a blockchain. As a base layer blockchain, applications and money lego primitives can be built on top of UX to access cross-chain leverage, liquidity, and debt instruments. The UX chain facilitates interoperability between the Cosmos ecosystem, Ethereum, side chain architectures, layer two scaling solutions, rollups, and alternative base layer protocols.

Tips for Using UX
- Prevent Liquidation: To mitigate liquidation risks, it is essential to constantly monitor your health factor on the Dashboard page. We highly recommend reading UX’s Lending & Borrowing Documentation (opens in a new tab) to understand how the liquidation threshold is calculated and to comprehend the circumstances under which liquidation occurs before you begin borrowing.
- Keep an Eye on Interest Rates: Interest rates can fluctuate. Regularly check them to ensure your lending strategy remains profitable.
- Stay Informed: The DeFi space is rapidly evolving. Stay updated with UX’s updates and general DeFi trends.
