# Create an LTV Boost

Locking $JPGD can boost your position. There are several types of boosts on JPEG'd (see [Locking Mechanics](/jpegd-dao/about-the-jpegd-protocol/jpegd-boosts.md)). [LTV boost](/jpegd-dao/about-the-jpegd-protocol/jpegd-boosts/ltv-boost.md) allows users to increase the LTV of boosted positions up to **80% LTV** on selected collections. 

To enable the boost, $JPGD tokens need to be locked on a per position basis. The locks get disabled upon request, and the locked $JPGD can be withdrawn after the [withdrawal processing period](/jpegd-dao/about-the-jpegd-protocol/jpegd-boosts/ltv-boost.md#withdrawal).

Boosting is easy, check the tutorial, or follow the steps below.

## Create LTV Boost Lock

#### **Step 1:**&#x20;

Open up your loan dashboard and go to the borrows tab, note it's also possible to create an LTV boost from the wallet tab before doing the first borrow.

#### **Step 2:**&#x20;

For the selected NFTs, choose the amount of LTV boost you want to enable. The higher the boost, the more $JPGD that needs to be locked.&#x20;

The LTV boost configuration modal lets you determine the LTV boost amount from 0 to **20% extra LTV.** LTV Boost can be increased up to the maximum boost value after they have been first created.

## Manage your JPEG'd Boosts

The Boost tab will show you the status of your boosts, as well as let you manage them.&#x20;

You can:

* Update an LTV boost
* Request an unlock to disable your active boosts (please note there is a unlock period to avoid unwanted liquidations)
* Claim unlocked $JPGD

## Disabling a Boost

From the Dashboard/Boosts tab, select the positions you want to disable the boost for. This will start the withdrawal processing period. The period lasts **7 Days** and can be cancelled at any time.
