# Collateral Configuration

In Coupon, the same asset can be lent out to relatively safe collateral for lower rates or risky collateral for higher rates. This enables higher yields without compromising the whole protocol.

Our m:n mapping allows us to customize the risk. This means long-tail assets can be listed on Coupon, opening up opportunities for both lenders and borrowers.

The asset to collateral m:n mapping will be set by Coupon governance in the future. This ensures a dynamic and responsive ecosystem that adapts to changing market conditions.
