4. Enter the amount of tokens you want to use as collateral in the “Deposit” section
5. Enter the amount of EURO3 in the “Borrow” section.&#x20;

Keep an eye on the Health Factor at the bottom of the screen. Lower number means higher risk; higher number means lower risk. The Health Factor is calculated real time and is color coded for your simplicity.<br>

There is a 0.5% fee calculated in EURO3 that gets charged at issuance. After that there is no interest on borrowed funds

6. Approve transaction and mint EURO3
