Parallel Finance, a Defi Hub whose mission is to provide all necessary Web 3 financial services for users in one platform has introduced a innovative Money Market lend, borrow option providing a way for its users to avail liquidation free loans!!
Parallel Finance, aspires to be a protocol that brings capital efficient DEFI to its users, meaning the protocol aims to be a DEFI platform which will offer avenues for users to find best possible yields, loans and lucrative APY rewards out of their crypto assets/collateral etc.
So, keeping that agenda in mind now Parallel Finance offers users a way for users to get most out of their cDOT, that is liquid crowdloaned DOT which users received in return for contributing to Polakadot’s Parachain crowdloans using Parallel finance’s Crowdloan Module.

Now, cDOT has found another interesting use case in Parallel Finance as the asset can be used to avail liquidation free loans!!
From Parallel Finance's Tweeter
This is made possible with Parallel Finance finding an innovative way to make it possible for it’s users to avail liquidation free loans.
Zero liquidation risk free DOT loans against user’s cDOT collateral in Parallel Finance
From Parallel Finance's Tweeter
Let us now understand how Parallel Finance makes availing Liquidation free loans for users possible using their cDOT asset.
From Parallel Finance's Tweeter
Note, that only assets against which a diamond symbol is marked are eligible to be used as collateral for availing Liquidation free loans in Parallel Finance.
So, all cDOT and LP-DOT/cDOT assets can be used as collateral to avail liquidation risk free loans in DOT.
All the cDOT assets with a diamond mark beside them are eligible to collateral to avail DOT liquidation free loans in
Parallel Finance's Money Market.
This is because cDOT is a derivative of DOT that’s locked until the lease period of the parachain (which is secured through crowdloaned DOT lend by users) finishes. After this, as the locked DOT is unlocked and released, users get their cDOT redeemed for DOT.
So, cDOT will always equal the value of DOT, as at the end of the parachain lease period, all contributed cDOT gets redeemed for DOT.
Therefore, the user’s cDOT collateral value will equal their availed DOT loan value. The availed DOT loan value will always correlate with the value of deposited cDOT collateral, so there is no risk of liquidation when availing DOT loan using cDOT as collateral. Cool is it not?? !!
From Parallel Finance's Tweeter
So, if the value of a user’s cDOT collateral reduces tomorrow, the user’s availed DOT loan would also reduce in the same proportion as the user’s deposited cDOT collateral. So, there is no liquidation risk and DOT loans availed through cDOT collateral are liquidation free loans.
This amounts to getting DOT which can be used in DEFI even outside Parallel Finance
From Parallel Finance's Tweeter
Availing risk free DOT loans against cDOT collateral is a cool way to get DOT for the received cDOT and use it in any Defi protocol even outside of Parallel Finance. As now with the XCM feature activated, Polkadot Parachains are able to interact with each other, making parachain to parachain token transfers possible.
