# Collateralizing

Before you can borrow on TezFin, you need to collateralize your ꜰTokens. ꜰTokens represent your lending position on TezFin. The more ꜰToken you collateralize, the larger your Borrowing Limit becomes.    Keep in mind, that to un-collateralize you'll need to return your borrowed amounts of assets.

To collateralize your ꜰTokens follow these steps:

1. Connect your wallet
2. From the "Supplying" table, click the "Collateral" toggle switch for the ꜰToken that you want to collateralize &#x20;
3. Click "Use as Collateral" in the modal that pops up asking you to confirm usage of this ꜰToken as collateral
4. Sign the Transaction from your wallet

That's it. Your ꜰToken should now be being used as active collateral. You should be seeing the "Collateral" toggle in the "Supplying" table is switched on.&#x20;

You may now proceed to either Borrowing, or Uncollateralizing
