# Den Management

Dens are at the heart of Beraborrow’s collateral management system, providing users with a way to deposit assets, earn yield, and mint NECT, all while maintaining exposure to their original collateral and being able to close your position at any time. This flexibility allows users to unlock liquidity without having to sell or give up their position in valuable assets.
