Discount rate tiers:

The discount rate tiers will be adjusted according to the base currency of USDT trading pairs in the table above.An example of discount rate adjustment:

If the base currency's first tier max borrow amount for AGLD/USDT is adjusted to 1000 AGLD, then the max collateral at the first tier of AGLD's discount rate tiers is set to be 1000 AGLD.
