# Collateral Risk Parameters

The minimum collateral ratio (MCR) works to ensure that $USC remains overcollateralized at all times. Every shuttle must have a debt position above MCR in order to remain active. 

To recap, collateral ratio is calculated as follows:

*Collateral ratio = (amount of collateral in USD / amount of $USC borrowed in USD) \* 100*

The MCR is dependent on our risk assessment of the underlying collateral type. <br>

| ------------ | ------------------------------ | ------ |
| LCRO (& CRO) | Total Collateral Ratio (TCR)   | 150%   |

## Commonly asked questions

<details>

<summary>What is Total Collateral Ratio (TCR)?</summary>

**Total Collateral Ratio (TCR)** is the average of all shuttle's collateral ratio.&#x20;

* TCR = total dollar value of the respective collateral / total dollar value of the corresponding debt&#x20;

If TCR falls below the specified threshold (in this case it's 150%), then all shuttles with $cdcETH will go into Recovery Mode. You can read more about Recovery Mode and its impact on you [here](/overview/recovery-mode.md).&#x20;

## 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://doc.orby.network/overview/supported-collateral/collateral-risk-parameters.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.
