FAQ

General

What is Orchid Credit?

Orchid Credit is a native lending protocol on MegaETH that allows users to supply assets, borrow against collateral, and manage positions in real time with full risk visibility.


What makes Orchid Credit different?

Orchid Credit is built for instant execution:

  • Real-time position updates

  • Immediate rate adjustments

  • Continuous risk visibility

There are no delayed updates, hidden mechanics, or opaque rebalancing.


Is Orchid Credit suitable for beginners?

Yes. The protocol is designed to be simple and intuitive, with:

  • Clear metrics (Health Factor, rates, collateral)

  • Straightforward supply and borrow flows

  • An interface aimed at reducing common mistakes


Supply and Borrow

What does “Supply” mean?

Supplying assets means:

  • Providing liquidity

  • Earning yield from borrowers’ interest

  • Using supplied assets as collateral if desired


Can I borrow without collateral?

No. All borrowing on Orchid Credit is overcollateralized to protect protocol solvency.


Can I borrow the same asset I supplied?

This depends on the market configuration and asset-specific risk parameters.


Health Factor and Liquidations

What is the Health Factor?

The Health Factor measures the safety of your position by comparing risk-adjusted collateral value to outstanding debt.

  • Health Factor > 2: healthy position

  • Health Factor ≤ 1: liquidatable position


What happens during liquidation?

When a position becomes undercollateralized:

  • Part of the debt is repaid

  • A corresponding amount of collateral is seized

  • The position is restored to a safer state


How can I avoid liquidation?

You can:

  • Add more collateral

  • Repay part of your debt

  • Reduce leverage exposure


Rates and Liquidity

How are interest rates determined?

Rates adjust dynamically based on:

  • Supply and demand

  • Pool utilization

  • Market risk parameters

They update continuously.


Can rates change quickly?

Yes. Rates respond immediately to liquidity and demand changes.


Security and Risks

Is Orchid Credit risk-free?

No. As with any DeFi protocol:

  • Market volatility exists

  • Liquidations are possible

  • Users remain responsible for managing risk


What if an oracle reports an incorrect price?

Orchid Credit uses:

  • Carefully selected oracles

  • Fallback mechanisms

  • Safeguards against abnormal prices


Technical Access

Which network does Orchid Credit run on?

Orchid Credit is natively deployed on MegaETH.


Do I need a bridge to use Orchid Credit?

Yes, if your assets are on another EVM network.

The DApp integrates bridge and swap solutions for easy access.
