From our homepage:"Borrowing against LP tokens involves risk, including liquidation if market conditions move against your position. Avana does not custody your funds, rehypothecate LP positions, or alter how your liquidity operates on underlying AMMs. Only borrow amounts you are comfortable maintaining through market volatility."
