In today&#39;s article, we want to explore another aspect of MetalSwap, specifically how the dApp could be used as a tool for protecting oneself in borrowing operations within decentralized finance.<h2 id="header-0">MetalSwap Use Cases</h2>The case study we will use to explore this aspect of MetalSwap is a use case released on the official blog, where <a href="https://metalswap.me/aave" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the Hedging Contracts are employed to protect against a loan</a> executed on Aave, the leading dApp in the lending and borrowing field. In this specific use case was demonstrated how to take a loan in stablecoin using ETH as collateral.Given the high volatility of the underlying asset, there is a risk of liquidation, however, thanks to MetalSwap it’s possible to eliminate this risk by opening a short position within the dApp.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/c79bf919fc0b41b794e77321bbbbcc3e.png" /><a href="https://metalswap.me/dAppOP" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Short position on MetalSwap dApp</a><h2 id="header-1">Paying a Premium and Eliminating Volatility</h2>Certainly, none of the users requesting an on-chain loan on Aave or similar dApps wants to be liquidated, as it would result in a significant loss of capital. MetalSwap addresses this issue by offering, for the first time in the history of DeFi, hedging contracts that nullify the volatility of a specific asset for a user-selected period.For this strategy, it is necessary to open a short position within the dApp. If you are still unclear about how MetalSwap works, we invite you to read this guide on <a href="https://metalswap.me/short-position" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">opening a short position</a>.The idea behind this strategy is that if the underlying asset, in this case ETH, loses value, then thanks to the gain derived from the position on MetalSwap it will be possible to add new collateral and push the liquidation price away.<h2 id="header-2">The Lending &amp; Borrowing Market</h2>Analyzing DefiLlama in the &#34;<a href="https://defillama.com/protocols/Lending" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Categories</a>” section reveals that the Lending category is second only to Liquid Staking dApps.
