## Liquidity Borrowing

Creators can opt to borrow their initial liquidity within the following specified ranges:

* **Free User:**\
  Borrow between <mark style="color:orange;">**1500 - 3000 ApeCoin**</mark>
* **VIP User:**\
  Borrow between <mark style="color:orange;">**1500 - 15000 ApeCoin**</mark>

## Repayment

### **Methods:**

* If the repayment threshold is reached, <mark style="color:blue;">**Ape Express**</mark> will automatically withdraw enough liquidity to cover the owed amount. The tokens from the removed liquidity are then burned.
* For Tax Tokens, collected taxes are used to repay the owed amount first. Once the debt is cleared, the creator’s chosen tax settings become active.
* The amount owed can be paid manually on the token's page at <mark style="color:blue;">**Ape Express.**</mark>

If the debt remains unpaid for 7 days after the token is created (or from the scheduled deployment date), <mark style="color:blue;">**Ape Express**</mark> will automatically withdraw enough liquidity to recover the owed amount, if possible. This can pose a risk to projects, as it may result in most or all of the liquidity being removed.

## Threshold

A repayment threshold is a creator-selected level that represents how much the Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens must be worth before <mark style="color:blue;">**Ape Express**</mark> automatically recovers the borrowed amount plus interest.

| Repayment threshold | Interest |
| ------------------- | -------- |
| 2x                  | 25%      |
| 3x                  | 50%      |
| 4x                  | 75%      |
| 5x                  | 100%     |

For instance, if a project borrows 1 ApeCoin and opts for a 2x repayment threshold, <mark style="color:blue;">**Ape Express**</mark> will retrieve 1.25 ApeCoin (the borrowed amount plus interest) once the LP tokens reach a value of 2 ApeCoin and an additional amount of tokens. The received tokens will be burned.

## Post-Repayment

After repayment is completed, the LP tokens held by the <mark style="color:blue;">**Ape Express**</mark>  smart contract will be locked for the duration specified by the creator.
