# Whitelisted Assets

Whitelisted Assets are the set of pre-approved tokens and financial instruments that can be used within the Arkis ecosystem—whether as collateral, for trading, or for borrowing/lending purposes. Only these assets are permitted for operations within [Margin Accounts,](https://docs.arkis.xyz/home/concepts/margin-account) [Markets](https://docs.arkis.xyz/home/concepts/market), and Vaults to ensure security, liquidity, and risk control.

### **Whitelisted assets must pass strict eligibility requirements:**

* **Collateral Eligibility:** Assets must pass Arkis DAO Risk Assesment to be accepted as collateral within Margin Accounts.
* **Liquidity Requirements:** Assets must maintain **sufficient onchain liquidity** and **low slippage** under stress scenarios (e.g., must be liquidatable with <5% slippage via 1inch or supported DEX aggregators).
* **Transparency & Monitoring:** All whitelisted assets are continuously monitored for price volatility, market depth, and protocol risk.
* **Permissioned Use:** Asset Managers can only interact with whitelisted tokens inside Margin Accounts, and Markets can define a specific subset of those whitelisted assets per pool.

### **Examples of Whitelisted Assets**

* **Stablecoins:** USDC, USDT, sUSDe
* **Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs):** EtherFi, Renzo, KelpDAO
* **BTC-related Tokens:** wBTC, BTC-based LRTs like Solv, Lombard
* **Yield-bearing Assets:** Pendle PT tokens, Curve LP tokens
* **Miscellaneous:** Any ERC-20 token meeting liquidity criteria and any liquid Curve LP token
* **Native Assets:** ETH, SOL, AVAX, MATIC, BNB; See full list [here](https://docs.arkis.xyz/home/concepts/whitelisted-assets/list-of-native-assets)

### **Per-Pool Customization**

Each Market can define its own:

* Subset of allowed Whitelisted Assets
* Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios
* Stress-tested valuation thresholds
* Protocol-level usage restrictions (e.g., no yield farming with highly volatile tokens)
