# Borrow Cap The Borrow Cap represents the maximum token amount that users can borrow from each BitLen lending pool. It is mostly determined by the circulating supply of tokens within the chain. ## Why is this important? It serves to prevent situations where borrowed tokens cannot be repaid, often resulting from liquidation. This is because liquidators would need to exchange the borrowed tokens for collateral tokens. --- # 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.
