# Token exposure protection

{% hint style="success" %}
Protects limited exposure to assets in case of extreme volatility
{% endhint %}

Complementary to [Asset Whitelisting](/degenprime/security/asset-whitelisting.md), each asset has two limits: 

### Token-specific borrowing power

The [borrowing power](/degenprime/degen-account/the-degen-account/assets.md) of a token how much a user can borrow against that collateral. A borrowing power of 10x means that for every dollar you deposit, you can borrow assets up to $10. 

Different tokens can have different borrowing powers. Since DegenPrime is cross-margin, you can have an average borrowing power for your [Degen Account](/degenprime/degen-account/the-degen-account.md). More information on how this is calculated can under [Health](/degenprime/leverage-and-health.md) of your Degen Account.

The borrowing power of a token is based on the liquidity and stability of the [assets](/degenprime/degen-account/the-degen-account/assets.md). The ability for different borrowing powers enables DegenPrime to integrate more tokens, faster and build out its offering, instead of sticking to major tokens.

### Global token cap

This deposit cap limits the number of tokens that can be deposited of a specific asset. It is the maximum exposure that DegenPrime as a whole can have on that asset. This makes sure liquidation bots can [liquidate](/degenprime/security/liquidations.md) assets for their market price. This cap goes for deposits and for borrowed funds.

Thus, if the token cap for USDC would be $500k, and one user would deposit $250k USDC from his wallet, and another user borrowers $250k from the lending pool, this would mean the token cap is reached. Until the total exposure of a token is decreased (in this case, USDC is withdrawn or paid back), that token can not be deposited or borrowed.
