### 4. Choose the currency and amount to borrow

It's also possible to opt-in for [liquidation insurance](../../about-the-jpegd-protocol/liquidation-insurance). \
Please note that for borrowing against Cryptopunks, they need to be first deposited in the escrow contract before they can be used as collateral. The deposit transaction will queue up from the modal and borrowing will be enabled once all selected cryptopunks have been transferred.
