# Withdrawing Assets ## How to Withdraw Withdrawing from Everst is straightforward and can be done anytime, subject to available liquidity. ### Quick Steps 1. Navigate to your Dashboard 2. Click "Withdraw" on the supplied asset 3. Enter the amount to withdraw 4. Confirm the transaction 5. Receive your assets plus earned interest ## Understanding Withdrawal Conditions ### Available Liquidity You can withdraw when the protocol has sufficient unborrowed funds. The available liquidity equals total supplied minus total borrowed for that asset. **High Utilization Scenarios** When utilization exceeds 90%, withdrawals may be temporarily limited. The high interest rates incentivize new supply and loan repayments, quickly restoring liquidity. ### Collateral Requirements If you have active borrows, your supplied assets serve as collateral. You cannot withdraw amounts that would cause your Health Factor to drop below 1.0. **Safe Withdrawal Calculation** The maximum you can safely withdraw while borrowing equals your excess collateral value - the amount above your minimum required collateral. ## Step-by-Step Withdrawal Guide ### Step 1: Check Your Position Before withdrawing, review: * Current supply balance with interest * Any active borrows * Your Health Factor if borrowing * Available liquidity in the pool ### Step 2: Calculate Withdrawal Impact If you're borrowing, ensure withdrawal won't trigger liquidation: * Check post-withdrawal Health Factor * Maintain safety buffer above 1.5 * Consider partial withdrawal if needed ### Step 3: Execute Withdrawal 1.
