# Borrowing

Although most users will never need to borrow clAssets, borrowing can be useful for more advanced actions like shorting clAssets. To begin borrowing on Clone Liquidity, locate the Borrow tab on the top  of the interface.

### Creating Your Borrow Position <a href="#creating-your-borrow-position" id="creating-your-borrow-position"></a>

Once you're on the Borrow tab, click the "Add new borrow position" button to get started. Next, choose which clAsset you wish to borrow, determine the amount of collateral you're willing to provide, and decide on the quantity of clAsset you aim to mint. Keep in mind that the minimum collateral ratio for borrowing any clAsset is 250%, any borrow position with a collateral ratio lower than 250% will be subject to liquidation. Therefore, we advise maintaining a collateral ratio of at least 300%. Once you've set your parameters, hit the "Borrow" button to initiate the transaction. You've just minted your first clAsset through borrowing!

### Managing Your Borrow Position <a href="#viewing-your-borrow-position" id="viewing-your-borrow-position"></a>

Now that you've successfully borrowed clAssets, you can monitor your position by navigating back to the "Borrow" tab. Here, you'll find a comprehensive view of your borrow positions. You can easily manage your positions by clicking on them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.clone.so/clone-mainnet-guide/clone-liquidity-or-for-lps/borrowing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
