USDC is not currently routed through Venus

This page answers the USDC on Venus query, but Sats Terminal does not currently return that protocol and asset pair. Continue with USDC selected, while the composer keeps its normal eligible protocol selection.

How Venus borrowing differs

Core and isolated pools

Venus groups lending markets into pools. Isolated pools keep their assets and risk settings separate from other pools.

Two risk thresholds

A collateral factor limits new borrowing, while a separate liquidation threshold determines when a position can be liquidated.

Market-level liquidity

Borrowing depends on available cash, caps, prices, and interest terms in the selected Venus market.

What to know about Venus

The USDC on Venus query describes an external protocol and asset combination, but it is not a current Sats Terminal browser route.

01

USDC market context on Venus

Venus documents USDC borrowing markets across its pool deployments, but external protocol availability does not create a current Sats Terminal route.

02

What this page can do

Use this page to check the current Sats Terminal availability status and understand the protocol-specific mechanics behind the query. Continuing opens the normal composer without sending an unsupported Venus protocol value.

03

How Venus borrowing works

Venus borrowing happens inside a selected pool. Collateral factors limit new debt, liquidation thresholds define the risk boundary, and market cash and caps can restrict borrowing.

04

Why Sats Terminal does not route it

Venus market combinations are configured in Sats Terminal, but the Venus quote-generation loop is disabled in the current public browser flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not through the current browser route. You can continue with USDC selected, and Sats Terminal will compare eligible protocols without forcing Venus.

Primary sources

Protocol mechanics are grounded in official documentation. Route availability comes from Sats Terminal's current browser loan configuration and may change.
