Liquidation

Liquidity Provider (LP)

Oracle
A smart contract that provides an input of off-chain information to the blockchain such as current asset price.
Pool
The contract in which a collection of LPs' deposited assets to be managed by a given Pool Delegate.
Pool Delegate

Technical Terms
Term
Definition
accountedInterest
The amount of outstanding interest that has been accounted by the LoanManager, but not yet received.
accruedInterest
The time-dependent amount of interest represented in the LoanManager since domainStart. Accrues over time according to the issuanceRate.
closingRate
The fee rate (applied to principal) to close the Loan.
domainEnd
The timestamp after which the issuanceRate is no longer valid and interest stops accruing.
domainStart
Defines the timestamp from which the issuanceRate is valid.
drawableFunds
The amount of funds in a given Loan that can be drawn down by its Borrower.
gracePeriod
An amount of seconds that a payment can be late before a default can be triggered on a Loan.
incomingNetInterest
The amount of interest expected to be paid by the end of the payment interval for a given Loan, net of management fees.
issuanceRate
The amount of interest per second accrued by the LoanManager, representing the aggregate current rate of accrual of interest across all outstanding Loans. This value is scaled up to 30 decimal places for improved precision.
lateFeeRate
A flat rate against principal that is charged when a Loan makes a late payment.
lateInterestPremium
The amount to increase the interest rate by for late payments.
liquidityCap
The maximum amount of value that a Pool can manage. It can be less than the current value of the Pool, preventing additional deposits. Deposits are limited by this value, where the maximum deposit amount is the difference between the current liquidityCap and the current value of the Pool.
principalOut
The aggregate amount of outstanding principal across all Loans in a given Pool.
refinanceInterest
An amount of interest that was accrued during the payment interval prior to a refinance. This amount is added to the first payment post-refinance.
unrealizedLosses
An amount of losses that is accounted and represented in the Pool's value, but it still can be recovered, either through repayments or liquidations.
