THE COLLATERAL BREATHING ROOMLOCAL EXPERIMENT / VOL. 001

Big tides.
Little cushion.

Markets move. Debt stays put.
See how much room your collateral
really has to breathe.

Take a pressure test
NO WALLET. NO DEPOSIT. JUST THE MATH.

INFLATABLE CONFIDENCE

BUILT FOR A LITTLE
MORE BREATHING ROOM
01 / THE STRESS LAB

How low
can you float?

Build a hypothetical position.
Pull the tide down. Find the point
where the cushion runs out.

Amounts restore the threshold at the stressed price. Add more room to move below it.

A calm sea never tested a cushion. Save a scenario to compare it here.

02 / NOTES FROM THE SEAFLOOR

Know what
holds you up.

This is an educational, browser-local model.
It tests a position, not a promise.

01 / THE FIXED WEIGHT

Debt doesn't
follow the tide.

A 25% price fall shrinks collateral value. The borrowed amount stays the same in this model, so loan-to-value rises.

02 / THE SOFT EDGE

A limit is
not a cushion.

Reaching the threshold leaves no margin. Real protocols have their own pricing, fees and liquidation rules.

03 / THE TWO LEVERS

More beneath.
Less on top.

Adding collateral grows the denominator. Repaying debt shrinks the numerator. Try both before the next wave.

SMALL CRAB. HEALTHY RESPECT FOR THE OCEAN.

Leave room
for the unexpected.

THE NEXT DEPTH / SOON

Let's keep this
one on dry land.

Live borrowing is not available. This lab does not connect a wallet, issue credit or move funds. Verified contracts, price oracles and a borrowing integration are still required.

Your test conditions are preserved. Keep adjusting the tide.
