Sumer introduces a novel risk engine that considers the correlation among assets when underwriting risks. Unlike traditional lending protocols which determine borrowing power based on assets supplied as collateral, Sumer intelligently matches users’ liability based on the asset supplied as collateral to maximize users’ borrowing power without adding additional risks. Correlated assets in a user position (deposit wstETH, borrow ETH) get significantly higher LTV maximizing capital efficiency and asset utilization than non-correlated assets.
Let us look at a typical use case in DeFI;
DeFI User Position
AAVE E-mode
Silo/ Isolated Lending
Sumer
Deposit wstETH, borrow ETH
93% LTV
93-95% LTV
92% LTV
Let us now look at the flexibility Sumer providers around typical scenarios surrounding our use case;
Scenarios
AAVE E-mode
Silo/ Isolated Lending
Sumer
User has excess collateral and needs Stable borrowing
Remove collateral, open new position
Remove collateral, open new position
81% LTV with same wstETH collateral
User has low position health, holds excess stable
Deposit USDC (75% LTV) to increase health
Not feasible
Deposit USDC (82.5% LTV) to increase health
Increased demand for LRTs, potential looping with wstETH
Lower LTV for wstETH-LRT looping; not all assets are supported in e-mode
Not Feasible
LRT Users will deposit LRT to borrow wstETH at 90% LTV increasing wstETH yield – a win-win for LRT users and Sumer Users
Temporary wstETH depeg
Close Position

Provide any supported asset as Collateral temporarily
As evident from above, Sumer’s capital efficient unified liquidity pool offers flexibility to users to manage their positions unlike existing lending and borrowing protocols.
