**This is Nero.** An elegant hyperstructure for borrowing any asset with an on-chain source of truth against an asset or a collection of assets.

Nero is autonomous and cutting-edge in three pillars: dynamicity, stability, and savings.

Nero protocol **uses nonlinear adaptive control theory to automagically output optimal borrow rates.** Furthermore, **all risk parameters—base rate, close factor, LTV threshold, liquidation penalty, and others—are dynamically calculated** based on the composition of your collateralised debt position.
