# How do you create a loan in CurveUSD protocol?

To open a collateralized debt position in CurveUSD protocol on DeFi Saver, the first step would be to create a Smart Wallet **`LINK`**.\
\
After choosing the market (e.g. collateral asset) you'd need to specify:\
\
\- Collateral amount\
\- Debt amount (in $crvUSD)\
\- Number of bands (in which the collateral will be distributed proportionally)

#### Creating a leveraged position in CurveUSD

DeFi Saver offers creating a leveraged position in CurveUSD by switching to the "Leverage" tab on the create page (second screenshot below). 

*The process stays the same, but it's important to note that in case of creating a leveraged CDP all the $crvUSD debt will be used to buy more collateral.*
