# Isolation Mode

#### Concept

Isolation Mode enables new assets to be listed with controlled risk.&#x20;

When a borrower uses an isolated asset as collateral, they **cannot simultaneously use other assets as collateral**, but can still supply them to earn yield.

In this mode, borrowing is restricted to select stablecoins approved by governance, **with borrowing capped by a defined debt ceiling** to ensure protocol stability.

#### Best Practise&#x20;

If you’re supplying an isolated asset, consider creating a new account to avoid limiting your overall borrowing power. This approach helps maintain capital efficiency across your positions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.extrafi.io/extrafi-xlend/borrow-lend/isolation-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
