There are many ways to do DeFi. One is to finely balance many hundreds of parameters through governance. Another is to have 0 adjustable parameters, no governance and immutable smart contracts 🌌
12/ That's 600 parameters to adjust, which becomes even more complex when market listings balloon.
Effectively managing these parameters is only possible with an automated risk engine with a streamlined governance process.

We recently identified a possible way to grief a section of users of the protocol. Whilst we're uncertain how likely this is to happen - we believe the safest thing to do is for users pay down their debt and withdraw their funds.

There is a lot of analysis on loans with $CRV collateral on various lending markets at the moment. Due to limited liquidity, liquidating these loans might be problematic, and some users are strongly concerned.
A bit of background
Curve's founder first rushed to repay the loan on Fraxlend because the borrowing rates were the highest.
Naturally, other protocols with CRV collateral want to increase borrowing rates so that the debts will be repaid on their protocols ASAP.

Time for another stick figure thread on Hoyu loan liquidation! We have discussed the intricacies of LTV-criterion-based loan liquidation last week. Today we're looking into a Liquidity Limit, which is a new criterion specific to Hoyu.
@GwartyGwart
I actually think money markets like Aave and Compound are the closest.
The gaps are actually the type of collateral they can take, and the poor pricing/adoption of fixed rates.
Even in North America, the ability to get a loan against assets, financing a mortgage etc, is

Only a handful of tokens are accepted as collateral on-chain, despite thousands available. Why? It's a safety measure. Supply & borrow caps might appear to seal the deal, but even they often leave room for a liquidity spill.

What if a money market protocol allowed any token as collateral with no permissioned opinions about what is money? Fully self-contained, relying only on the underlying network and VM? No external liquidators, no price oracles—just a decentralized path to ideal money? 💭

Spot Price Mechanics: Rather than using oracles, Hoyu taps into its Trading Market (DEX) reserves for current prices. Selling collateral works even at close-to-100% loan-to-value.
@Risk_DAO
Protecting against bad debt hinges on ensuring the liquidation of collateral covers the issued loan amount. Liquidity of the collateral asset determines how achievable this is.

Classical AMMs are more versatile than you might think. The k=x*y's are so robust that they remain the go-to tech for volatile assets, that's why Hoyu builds on this simple AMM.
