# SCDP

{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

The shared collateralized debt position (SCDP) allows different accounts to deposit [Collateral Assets ](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/collateral-assets.md)into a single position. These pooled [deposits](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps/scdp/deposits.md) are utilized as liquidity for zero-slippage [swaps](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps/scdp/swaps.md) where [Kopio Assets ](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/kresko-assets.md)can be exchanged to an equal value of another Kopio Asset.

## Use Cases

For example, Kopio Assets borrowed from an [ICDP](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps/icdp.md) can be swapped to another Kopio Asset, translating to a short position on the borrowed asset. Conversely, using [ONE](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/kiss.md) or [synth wraps](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/synth-wrap.md) to obtain Kopio Assets for a swap allows any Kopio Asset to be acquired without borrowing.

## Reasoning

The shared position concentrates the liquidity of Kopio Assets while liquidity providers and traders avoid the downsides of a regular AMM, such as slippage, impermanent loss and fragmented liquidity.

## Participants

Accounts can participate in the SCDP as a depositor, trader and/or a [liquidator](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps/scdp/liquidations.md).

## Risk

Most notable risk to the SCDP is depositors being unable to fully manage their risk, leaving them to rely on the protocols risk mitigation parameters. Since **depositors** **are the counterparty for each swap**, they bear the risk of adverse selection and rapid changes to the [debt composition](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps.md#total-debt-value) which might lead into liquidations. Because of this, the protocol is committed to align the incentives as such.

To mitigate risk of the depositors, the [MCR](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps.md#minimum-collateralization-ratio) used for the SCDP has a large difference to the [liquidation threshold](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps.md#liquidation-threshold). As collateral is utilized by arbitrary trading and [depositors](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps/scdp/deposits.md) can [withdraw](/kopio-docs/fundamentals/cdps/scdp/deposits.md#withdrawals) any non-utilized collateral, it shouldn’t be a concern to hit the MCR.\
