# Parameters

There is an explanation of the following parameters in [Model Parameters](/resources/math-paper.md#model-parameters).

## A. Reserve Factor

| USDC   | 0.91  |
| cbBTC  | 0.85  |
| wstETH | 0.82  |
| cbXRP  | 0.60  |

* Ethereum Mainnet

| Asset  | Value |
| ------ | ----- |
| WETH   | 0.86  |
| DAI    | 0.90  |
| USDC   | 0.91  |
| WBTC   | 0.85  |
| wstETH | 0.82  |

We associate a [Risk-Adjust Factor](https://docs.exact.ly/getting-started/math-paper#6.-liquidations) to each asset to assess each collateral asset's borrow and lending power.

To assess the Risk-Adjust Factor for each asset in the protocol, you can query the `markets()` function of the [Auditor](/guides/protocol/auditor.md) contract. This can be done using [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/), a blockchain explorer.

Follow the steps below to check the Risk-Adjust Factor for a specific asset:

1. Go to the Auditor contract on Etherscan by navigating to the following URL: <https://etherscan.io/address/0x310A2694521f75C7B2b64b5937C16CE65C3EFE01#readProxyContract#F17> (for other networks, go to [Smart Contract Addresses](/guides/smart-contract-addresses.md) and click on the address of the desired Auditor contract)
2. To query the `markets` In that contract, you will need the market contract address for the specific asset. For example, you can use the following address to check the Risk-Adjust Factor for USDC: `0x660e2fC185a9fFE722aF253329CEaAD4C9F6F928`. All addresses for each network (Mainnet, Optimism, et al.) are available in [Smart Contract Addresses](/guides/smart-contract-addresses.md).
3. Click the "Query" button to call the function. The result will display various information about the market, including the Risk-Adjust Factor.
4. The Risk-Adjust Factor will be returned as `adjustFactor`. In this case, `910000000000000000` equals 0.91.\
   ![](/files/I6AdlkyuqZcSIutdIBkO)

Following these steps, you can check the Risk-Adjust Factor for any asset in the protocol by simply replacing the market contract address with the one corresponding to the desired asset.

## F. Variable Rate Pool Fee

$$
\begin{align\*} \delta = 10% \end{align\*}
$$

$$\delta$$ is the fraction of the [fixed interest rate fees](https://docs.exact.ly/getting-started/math-paper#4.2.1-supply-interest-rate) retained by the Variable Rate Pool upon leaving the Fixed Rate Pool.

## G. Supply E.M.A. Parameters

$$
\begin{align\*} \beta\_{slow} = 0.000053 \end{align\*}
$$

The time decay parameter is used when the supply is above average.

$$
\begin{align\*} \beta\_{fast} = 0.4000 \end{align\*}
$$

The time decay parameter is used when the supply is below average.

## H. Target Solvency Ratio

$$
\begin{align\*} \Gamma = 1.25 \end{align\*}
$$

Target solvency ratio after [liquidation](https://docs.exact.ly/getting-started/math-paper#6.-liquidations).

## I. Liquidation Bonuses

$$
\begin{align\*} \nu\_{liquidator} = 5.00% \ \nu\_{bad-debt} = 0.25% \end{align\*}
$$

During the [liquidation process](https://docs.exact.ly/getting-started/math-paper#6.-liquidations), the liquidator gets a commission fee, and the Variable Rate Pool receives a percentage of extra liquidation fees to compensate for potential bad debt residuals.

## J. Extraordinary Earnings Distribution Factor

$$
\begin{align\*} \xi\_{extearn} = 2.00 \end{align\*}
$$

## K. Penalty Rate

$$
\begin{align\*} DailyPenaltyRate = 0.45% \end{align\*}
$$

The daily penalty rate fee is charged to fixed interest rate borrowers who didn't pay their loans on time. This fee is charged daily after the maturity day.&#x20;

For example, if your total debt after the maturity date is $100, and you pay 10 days later, the penalty fees will be $4.5 (0.45%\*10\*$100).
