# TLDR

In a nutshell:

* DegenPrime is a trustless borrowing platform
* [Degenerate](/degenprime/protocol/double-ds/degenerates.md) traders borrow funds to leverage up and boost their trading strategy to amplify returns
* They use their full collateral and borrowed funds
* These borrowed funds come from [Diamond Hands](/degenprime/diamond-hands/hodl.md), who receive a variable interest rate
* This magic happens thanks to the Degen Account: Each Degen has their own Degen Account. It is a [separate smart contract](/degenprime/security/degen-account-separation.md) with guardrails encoded
