LienTokens
LienTokens
are tokenized debt positions created and held by Vaults upon loan origination. Each LienToken
contains relevant information for the loan it represents (see Loan Terms
). When a lien is fully paid off, its LienToken
is burned.
LienTokens
may be purchased for a reserve amount that is equal to the remaining debt on the lien with an additional penalty to compensate the gas costs of loan origination.
Liquidations
When the underlying collateral for a LienToken
is liquidated, all received auction funds are used to repay the lien before being returned to the borrower. Any excess funds after the LienToken
has been paid back are returned to the initial liquidated borrower.
