Each market serves an NFT collection, select a market for an NFT that you own, and your NFTs from the selected collection will show up on the right.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Step 3 - Select NFT" %}

### Choose an NFT

Select an NFT from that collection, and click the `DEPOSIT NFT` button to deposit the NFT onto the platform.&#x20;

At the moment, markets are limited to 1 loan per wallet, to protect markets at launch. This means only 1 of your NFTs at a time can be used as collateral in a market.
{% endhint %}

Depositing the NFT creates a loan position, with a debt of 0 SOL. No interest is accruing until you borrow SOL.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Step 4 - Borrow" %}

### Borrow SOL&#x20;

After depositing an NFT into a market, you can now borrow liquidity from lenders. The NFT you have deposited serves as collateral.

At the top left corner, you will find the **estimated value** of your collateral (NFT). This is value is read from Switchboard oracles, tracking the floor price of the collection.

Below you will see your **risk level**, as this goes up, your loan is more likely to get liquidated. Keep this low to not lose your collateral.

Your **allowance** is how much you can borrow from this NFT.

### Input a SOL value

Use the slider to select an amount of SOL you would like to borrow. This will automatically tell you how much USD worth of SOL you will receive.
