# Borrow

The borrowing feature offers a unique opportunity for users to leverage their Ethereum (ETH) holdings as collateral to acquire XPET tokens

**Using ETH as Collateral:**

The borrowing system allows users to use their Ethereum (ETH) holdings as collateral. This means that users can temporarily lock in a portion of their ETH assets to access XPET tokens.

**Collateral Value Limit:**

Users can borrow up to a maximum of 85% of the value of the ETH they provide as collateral. This ensures a responsible borrowing limit while allowing users to make the most of their existing assets.

**Receiving XPET Tokens:**

Once the ETH collateral is successfully deposited, users receive a corresponding amount of XPET tokens in return. These tokens can be used within the XPET.tech ecosystem for various purposes.

**Repayment with XPET Tokens:**

To retrieve the collateralized ETH, users are required to repay the borrowed XPET tokens. This process essentially functions as a means of repayment. By using XPET tokens, users can reclaim their original collateral.
