So, I’ve deposited my collateral (ANY), and minted my USDP. I set the liquidation price at $1 (ANY’s price is $2.90). So, I need to keep an eye on the price of ANY. If it gets close to $1, then I should pay back the borrowed USDP and then I’ll be able to withdraw my collateral for no penalties. Right? And if I don’t do that, I’ll lose 15% of my collateral. Right?!
