# Market-agnostic Lending

Nucleus is partnered with Ion Protocol, a completely price-agnostic lending platform that leverages provable validator-backed data to allow users to borrow ETH and other staked/restaked assets against their LSTs and restaking positions.

* All loan positions in Ion are price-agnostic, and their parameters (interest rates, LTVs, position health, etc.) are determined by consensus layer data.
* This means liquidations are triggered by **changes in consensus layer state, not by price oracles, meaning the only insolvency risk users are exposed are derived by slashing.**

Nucleus can deposit any combination of the following collateral types into the protocol's lending markets at scale:

1. LSTs
2. LST LP Positions
3. Restaking Positions
4. Liquid Restaking Positions (LRTs)
5. Staked LST LP Positions (e.g. Aura Finance’s ERC-4626 positions)

Nucleus can lend capital within its vaults to these markets, generating returns on top of the base rewards of their collateral.
