Efficiency Mode (E-Mode) is a feature in HypurrFi that enables users to maximize their capital efficiency when borrowing assets that share similar risk characteristics.

​
What is E-Mode?

E-Mode allows users to achieve higher borrowing power by grouping assets with correlated risks. For example, stablecoins like USDC and USDT typically maintain a similar value, so they can be grouped together in an E-Mode category.

When a user activates E-Mode for a specific category, they can:

  • Borrow assets from the same category with a higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratio
  • Maintain a lower liquidation threshold for these correlated assets
  • Access greater capital efficiency than the standard borrowing mode

​
How E-Mode Works

E-Mode works by recognizing that certain assets have correlated price movements, which reduces the overall portfolio risk when these assets are used together as collateral and borrowed assets.

When E-Mode is activated:

  1. The user’s borrowing power increases for assets within the same E-Mode category
  2. The user can only borrow assets that belong to the activated E-Mode category
  3. The user’s health factor is recalculated based on E-Mode parameters

​
E-Mode Categories

HypurrFi will offer several E-Mode categories, but currently emode is only enabled for HYPE-stHYPE pairings.

​
Benefits of Using E-Mode

  • Higher capital efficiency: Borrow more against your collateral
  • Reduced liquidation risk: When using correlated assets
  • Optimized yield strategies: Enable more efficient leveraged positions
  • Enhanced liquidity management: Better utilize your capital across different assets within the same risk category

Note that activating or deactivating E-Mode will affect your borrowing power and may require adjusting your positions to maintain a healthy collateralization ratio.
