# Edit Collateral

On Nitron, in order to borrow and mint assets, you must hold a certain amount of collateral to do so. 

At any point of time, you can edit (i.e. add or remove) collateral. In the event that your health factor is too low and at a risk of liquidation, you can add collateral to stabilise your health factor.

Before you edit your collateral, please refer to [this section ](https://guide.dem.exchange/products/nitron/glossary#collateral)to understand this can affect your health factor. 

Follow these steps to edit your collateral:

**Step 1:** Launch Demex, click “Earn” in the navigation menu and click “Nitron” under the dropdown bar.

**Step 2:** Under the “You’re Lending” window, you can view all assets that you can have lent out at any given time. You can also view how much you have locked in as your collateral out of your total lent amount.
