user2068: I was asking to myself in which scenarios do I have to add a collateral when consuming an UTXO in a Script Address. I have just read the basics, but do you know if there is minimum needed in each collateral UTXO ? from the protocol parameters it appears to be as well that there is a maximum of collateral utxos, Do i need to provide one always even if the amount of ADA that I am sending is high enough to cover any any fee related to the  execution of the scripts? ... I guess the answer for the second is affirmative but i would appreciate  any insights about it.
Also I would appreciate any additional info about the cardano.getCollateral() endpoint of the NamiWallet.

user2537: Whenever a script is evaluated in a transaction, a collateral is needed. It is collected by the validating stake pool in case the transaction passes the first stage validation process but then fails because one of the script UTxOs cannot be validated (see: here). The collateral is not related to the transaction fees. Both need to be satisfied by the transaction: fees need to be covered and collateral provided.
The collateral is a special field of the transaction and needs to contain at least one UTxO. This UTxO can be one of the input UTxOs of the transaction. Nami wallet asks the user to generate a specially designated UTxO which is then never used as input UTxO so that it can always be used as collateral. I don't know of any constraints other than that this UTxO must contain the minimum Ada value (which is always satisfied as it wouldn't exist in the wallet otherwise). The value of the collateral determines the script execution budget. So the higher its Ada value the lower the risk that the transaction fails because script execution was aborted.
