# Multi-Silo Positions

Multi-silo positions allow different positions to be risk-independent even when using the same collateral.

## Protocols with Multi-Silo Positions vs without

With multi-silo positions, 1 user can have many isolated positions that are risk-independent of each other, therefore, an unhealthy position does not affect other healthy positions.&#x20;

Without multi-silo positions, 1 user can only have 1 cross position. This means that everything is viewed as 1 position, and an unhealthy position could affect other positions resulting in potential liquidation of other positions that may not be unhealthy.
