# TectonicCore The TectonicCore contract is the risk management layer of the Tectonic protocol. It determines how much collateral a user is required to maintain, and whether (and by how much) a user can be liquidated. Each time a user interacts with a tToken, the TectonicCore is asked to approve or deny the transaction. The TectonicCore maps user balances to prices (via the [Price Oracle](https://tectonic.gitbook.io/docs/developer/price-oracle)) to risk weights (called [Collateral Factors](https://tectonic.gitbook.io/docs/protocol/money-market-parameters)) to make its determinations. Users explicitly list which assets they would like included in their risk scoring, by calling `Enter Markets` and `Exit Markets`.\ \ \ **TectonicCore Proxy Address**: [0x7De56Bd8b37827c51835e162c867848fE2403a48](https://cronoscan.com/address/0x7De56Bd8b37827c51835e162c867848fE2403a48) --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
