As we have already done with [Ribbon Earn](/ribbon-earn/introduction-to-ribbon-earn.md), we are collaborating with [Credora](https://credora.io/). Credora aggregates information from custody venues, CEX spot / derivatives positions, on-chain positions across >5 chains, bank accounts, and other sources to get a comprehensive picture of a market maker’s credit worthiness. Most of this can be monitored in real-time, so a borrower’s credit worthiness can change on a minute by minute basis. This real-time info comprises \~50% of a borrower’s credit rating weight. The other \~50% are more traditional methods such as looking into borrow history and lending relationships, custody processes, ROE, ROA, max drawdowns, solvency ratio, etc. See[ Credora docs](https://credora.gitbook.io/credit-methodology/SbLmTxogePkrzsF4z9IK/credit-evaluation/credit-score) for more information on credit methodology. Credora has 16 DeFi integrations, 25 CeFi integrations, and +100 borrower/lender institutions onboarded so far. Credora has helped facilitate $785M in loans and monitors $3.85B to date. It is important to note that although Credora's ratings are representative and timely, they should in no way be interpreted as an invitation to invest in a particular pool or as a "guarantee" of successful investment. They are to be considered solely as indications of the borrowers' creditworthiness. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ribbon.finance/ribbon-lend/introduction-to-ribbon-lend/off-chain-enforcement-credit-underwriting.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
