LPs can only supply USDC to earn fees and incentives (no sUSD minting capability)
Wrapped tokens may appear in your wallet or on Etherscan.

⚠️ Skew or poor market performance can increase debt
In the first few weeks after launch, debt levels may fluctuate based on trader performance and market conditions.
As Open Interest caps are increased, arbitrageurs are expected to balance any skew in the perps markets, neutralizing its impact on debt.
⚠️ Smart contract vulnerabilities
⚠️ Collateral depeg (USDC)
As always, do your own research and only deposit what you can afford to lose. Understanding the risks is crucial before participating as a liquidity provider.
