Collateral primitives are fundamental digital assets or tokenized representations of value accepted as security within decentralized lending and borrowing protocols. These assets are deposited by users to secure loans or participate in various decentralized finance activities. They serve as the foundational elements enabling credit and leverage within blockchain-based financial systems. Their role is central to protocol solvency.
