# Isolation Mode Isolation Mode is a risk management feature used in Superlend Markets to support new or higher-risk collateral assets. When an asset is listed in Isolation Mode, it can be supplied as collateral under stricter borrowing constraints to limit potential system-wide risk. *** ### How Isolation Mode Works * Isolated assets have a debt ceiling, which caps the total amount that can be borrowed against that asset across the market. * When using an isolated asset as collateral, users can only borrow approved stablecoins. * Borrowing limits are enforced automatically at the smart contract level. Isolation Mode allows Superlend to safely introduce new asset types without exposing the entire market to excessive risk. *** ### Borrowing Restrictions While an isolated asset is enabled as collateral: * Only configured stablecoins can be borrowed * Other volatile assets cannot be borrowed * The debt ceiling applies at the market level, not per user *** ### Entering and Exiting Isolation Mode Isolation Mode does not require manual activation. * You enter Isolation Mode automatically when you supply an asset that is listed as isolated collateral. * You exit Isolation Mode once the isolated asset is no longer used as collateral. *** ### Why Isolation Mode Exists Isolation Mode helps: * Reduce contagion risk from new or less-proven assets * Protect market liquidity and solvency * Enable gradual onboarding of real-world assets and other novel collateral types --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
