# Borrowing and minting PAR/paUSD

To borrow and mint PAR/paUSD equal to `BORROW_AMOUNT`, call the `VaultsCore.borrow()` function.

```
VaultsCore.borrow(myVaultId, BORROW_AMOUNT);
```

Your maximum borrow amount is equal to:

```
Max Borrow amount = collateral deposit amount * collateral price / collateralization ratio (e.g. 1.6)
```

Make sure you do not borrow beyond your maximum borrow amount to avoid getting liquidated.
