A Collateralized Debt Position (CDP) is a mechanism used in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, like MakerDAO, to generate stablecoins through the use of collateral. In a CDP, users lock up cryptocurrency as collateral to mint stablecoins such as DAI. The locked collateral ensures that the loan is backed by assets, and users can reclaim their collateral after repaying the loan, including any accrued interest.
The CDP model has gained popularity because it allows users to access liquidity without needing to sell their underlying assets. This provides flexibility, particularly in volatile markets, where users can take advantage of price movements while using stablecoins for day-to-day transactions or other investments. CDPs are an integral part of DeFi, as they offer a decentralized way to borrow, create liquidity, and manage risk in a non-custodial manner.
