Anchor is a savings protocol built on Terra that offers low-volatility yields on Terra stablecoins like $UST.
Anchor’s money market allows users to borrow $UST on their bonded yield bearing PoS assets in the form of bAssets, up to 60% Loan-To-Value (LTV) before the protocol liquidates their collateral.
bAssets are liquid, tokenized representations of staked assets in a PoS blockchain. This allows stakers to gain liquidity over their staked assets.
