# Reserve Factor

The Reserve Factor is a useful parameter for navigating volatile markets since it can be set at the asset level, this additional buffer will be contributed to the treasury.

It represents the portion of protocol revenues (paid by borrowers as interest) retained by the protocol as a liquidity backstop or insurance fund and potentially to supplement the treasury in the future based on community feedback.

It is also the delta between what the protocol takes in from borrowers and what it pays out to suppliers. A change in reserve factor could be passed along to borrowers as an incentive. Therefore, the reserve factor could be used to incentivize either borrow or supply behaviors.

The Reserve Factors can be found in the table below:

<table><thead><tr><th width="166">Asset</th><th>Reserve Factor</th><th>Remarks</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>DUSD &#x26; dStocks</td><td>0.20</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>dCrypto</td><td>0.25</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Canonical Stablecoins</td><td>0.30</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>DFI</td><td>0.40</td><td>Highest borrowed assets</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://seahorsefi.gitbook.io/seahorsefi/protocol/reserve-factor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
