**What do you mean by Long Tail Assets?**

Long-tail assets are those outside the largest and most well-known assets such as BTC, eth, stablecoins, and some DeFi blue chips. Mochi has developed a way to safely provide yield-bearing and liquidity tokens fully backed by a wide variety of crypto assets.&#x20;

This allows a wider variety of crypto assets, including long-tail and less liquid tokens, with otherwise healthy markets, to get listed, enable collateralization, and mint the USDM stablecoin.

**In the event that my vault becomes undercollateralized and up for liquidation, is there a "grace period" in which I can add more collateral or pay back debt? In the event that it gets liquidated, do I lose the entirety of my collateral or only a % of it?**

Right now there isn't a grace period, because when undercollateralized the priority is for the protocol to recover any debts without risking insolvency or shortfall, as for partial liquidations, that's a priority being worked on, not implemented yet
