# How to use Virtue?

Using Virtue is simple and permissionless. Here’s how you can get started:

1. Deposit Collateral\
   Choose a supported asset (e.g., $IOTA or $stIOTA) and deposit it into the system to open a CDP(Collateralized Debt Position).
2. Mint $VUSD\
   Based on your collateral value and the system’s minimum collateral ratio, you can borrow and mint $VUSD, a decentralized, over-collateralized stablecoin.
3. Use VUSD Freely\
   Spend, buy more assets, or deposit your VUSD into the Stability Pool to participate in liquidations and earn steady returns. $VUSD is designed to remain stable and usable across the IOTA ecosystem.
4. Manage or Close Your CDP\
   You can repay your debt at any time to retrieve your collateral. If your position becomes undercollateralized, it will be fully liquidated through the Stability Pool.&#x20;

## 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.virtue.money/user-guides/publish-your-docs.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.
