**Borrowing Fees:** A one-time 0.5% upfront fee is charged for loans longer than 6 months. Short-term borrowers get incentives through a partial refund mechanism.

**Total Debt:** The total amount of LYU that you are borrowing in the form of debt against the collateral deposited in your Trove.

**Loan-To-Value:** The ratio between your collateral deposit and borrowed LYU value. Lower LTV is safer, higher LTV is riskier.

**Est. Debt Ahead:** Amount of LYU available for redemption in Troves with a higher LTV than yours. The lower the amount, the more likely it becomes for your Trove to be redeemed against.

**Liquidation Price:** This is the price that your collateral token would need to reach for your Trove to be liquidated.

**Fee Refund:** If the user repays their debt within six months, they will receive a pro-rated refund of the 0.5% fixed borrowing fee for the time elapsed, with a minimum of one week's interest.
