# FiRM

FiRM is Inverse Finance's flagship lending protocol that lets you borrow DOLA stablecoin at fixed interest rates using a variety of crypto collateral. Unlike traditional DeFi lending where rates fluctuate unpredictably, FiRM gives you certainty about borrowing costs through the DBR system, where you purchase and hold borrowing rights that stream over time.

Whether you are borrowing DOLA for the first time or looking to optimize an existing position, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about using FiRM safely and effectively.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inverse.finance/inverse-finance/inverse-finance/products/firm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
