# Key Advantages

Bucket is built for **capital efficiency**. Its design choices translate into clear, durable advantages for leverage users, liquidity seekers, and stablecoin allocators.

### Fixed per-asset interest rates

* Rates are **fixed by collateral type**.
* Funding costs are **known upfront and remain predictable**, so you can **clearly grasp long-term cost** and plan buffers/drawdowns deliberately—not reactively.
* **Result:** long-horizon strategies run on discipline instead of rate anxiety.

### Explicit, predictable risk boundaries

* A simple **CR(Collateral Ratio) / MCR(Minimum Collateral Ratio)** rule defines the boundary; the app surfaces a **live liquidation price** for every position.
* **Per-asset isolation** avoids the confusion of **blended multi-asset risk** paired with volatile rates.
* **Result:** fewer forced exits from opaque mechanics; management centers on cadence and buffer.

### High LTV (Loan to Value)

* **Per-asset CDPs** isolate risk instead of blending multiple assets in one pot.
* **Protocol-run liquidations** execute consistently whenever **CR < MCR**, making enforcement predictable.
* **Result:** more usable capital from the same collateral, without adding ambiguity to risk.

### Turning derivatives collateral into productive capital

* Support for **select derivative-type collateral** (see *Markets*) unlocks financing for positions that were hard to deploy.
* Users can **build leverage** or **free liquidity** against LSTs / sCoins / similar collateral while keeping core exposure.
* **Result:** derivative exposure becomes active capital, not idle constraint.

### What this enables in practice

* **Disciplined, long-term leverage** with a stable cost curve and a clear risk line.
* **Liquidity without selling** the core position—borrow USDB against collateral and manage CR with precision.
* **A clean savings rail** for stablecoin capital via **sUSDB** and the **sUSDB Savings Pool**.
