# Withdrawing assets

{% hint style="warning" %}
To help users avoid liquidation risks, Elara provides two safeguards:

* The **"Safe Max" button** allows users to withdraw up to **80%** of their borrow utilization.
* If users manually input their withdrawal amount, the system limits it to **95%** of their borrow utilization.

## **Main pool operations:** 

#### The m**ain pool** allows users to withdraw assets with flexibility, as long as the assets are not being used as collateral for loans. Follow these steps to withdraw from the Main Pool:

1. **Access your portfolio**: Log into ElaraLend and navigate to the **Portfolio** page.
2. **Select the asset**: In the **Main Pool** section, find and select the asset you wish to withdraw (e.g., ETH, WBTC, USDC).
3. **Enter the withdrawal amount**: Input the amount of the asset you would like to withdraw. Be sure to check your **borrow limit** if you are using the asset as collateral to avoid triggering liquidation.
4. **Review the transaction**: Confirm the withdrawal details and ensure that the transaction doesn’t negatively impact any active loans you may have.
5. **Confirm the withdrawal**: Once the details are confirmed, approve the transaction in your connected wallet. Your assets will then be transferred back to your wallet.

## Satellite pool operations:

1. **Access your portfolio**: Log into ElaraLend and navigate to the **Portfolio** page.
2. **Select the satellite pool**: In the **Satellite Pools** section, select the pool from which you want to withdraw assets (e.g., LST/LRT or WETH pool).
3. **Choose withdrawal type**:

**Collateral withdrawals**: If you’ve supplied assets as collateral, ensure that your withdrawal won’t lower the collateral value below the safe limit for your active loans. The system will limit withdrawals to a maximum of **95%** of your borrow limit, but you can also use the **Safe Max** button to withdraw up to **80%** for extra security.

**WETH withdrawals**: If you have supplied **WETH** to earn interest, you can withdraw any portion of your supplied WETH. The system ensures your withdrawal stays within safe limits if you’re also borrowing.

4. **Enter withdrawal amount**: Input the amount you wish to withdraw, considering your borrow limit. You can either:

Use the **Safe Max** button to withdraw up to **80%** of your borrow limit.

Manually enter an amount, which will be capped at **95%** of your borrow limit to prevent liquidation risk.

5. **Review the transaction**: Review the withdrawal amount and ensure it won’t affect your collateral or borrowing status. Confirm that you meet the required collateral-to-loan ratio to avoid liquidation.
6. **Confirm the withdrawal**: Approve the transaction in your connected wallet. Your assets will be transferred back to your wallet, and any necessary adjustments to your collateral and borrow limits will be applied automatically.
