Using corvusSOL in DeFi
Check oracles, liquidation thresholds, and unwind liquidity before using corvusSOL as Solana DeFi collateral or running leveraged staking.
A protocol that lists corvusSOL can take it as collateral, pair it in a liquidity pool, or lend against it so you can loop staking exposure. Loan-to-value, borrow rate, incentives and liquidation threshold all belong to that protocol rather than to Corvus Labs. Check the market's token against the mint on the corvusSOL page before you deposit.
Your liquidation risk depends on how the market prices corvusSOL
If the market prices corvusSOL off the protocol exchange rate, your position tracks staking value and a thin-liquidity dip in the market price leaves your health factor alone. If it prices off a market feed, a temporary depeg, one large seller or a stale feed can liquidate you while the stake underneath is perfectly healthy.
Not every market says which it uses. If you can't find out, assume it's market-priced and size for that.
Check two more things while the position is still hypothetical: what the swap route pays at your full size in the selling direction, and whether the exit the interface offers is a swap or an unstake on Solana's epoch schedule.
Looping
Deposit corvusSOL, borrow SOL against it, convert that to corvusSOL, deposit again. Your return is the staking yield on the whole position less the borrow rate on what you borrowed.
Lending interfaces such as Project 0 offer looping or leveraged positions where there's an active corvusSOL market.
That's a walkthrough of the interface, not a quote and not a recommendation. Every rate and parameter in it is from the day it was recorded.
