LendingManager is the native lending protocol that manages interest rates, collateral calculations, and provides advanced features through integration with the order book system.

Core Functions

Asset Configuration

Each supported asset has configurable parameters:

Collateral Management & Health Factor

Health Factor

Health Factor determines borrowing safety with different risk levels: Health Factor Levels:
  • > 2.0: Very Safe - plenty of buffer against market volatility
  • 1.5-2.0: Safe - comfortable position with moderate risk
  • 1.0-1.5: Moderate - monitor closely, consider reducing debt
  • < 1.0: Risky - liquidation warning, add collateral or repay debt
Example: $4,000 ETH Deposit
Health Factor Formula:
Risk Levels:
  • > 2.0: Very Safe - plenty of buffer against market volatility
  • 1.5-2.0: Safe - comfortable position with moderate risk
  • 1.0-1.5: Moderate - monitor closely, consider reducing debt
  • < 1.0: Risky - liquidation warning, add collateral or repay debt

Interest Rate & Utilization

The protocol uses a kinked interest rate model that dynamically adjusts rates based on pool utilization:

Interest Rate Curve Visualization

The kinked interest rate model creates two distinct rate zones: Interest Rate Formula:
  • Below 80% utilization: Rate = BaseRate + (Utilization × Slope1)
  • Above 80% utilization: Rate = BaseRate + (80% × Slope1) + ((Utilization - 80%) × Slope2)
Example Rates:
  • Low utilization (30%): ~3.5% APY
  • Optimal utilization (80%): ~8% APY
  • High utilization (95%): ~25% APY
  • Full utilization (100%): ~50% APY
This model encourages:
  • Borrowing when utilization is low (cheaper rates)
  • Lending when utilization is high (higher returns)
  • Equilibrium around the 80% kink point

Liquidation Logic

Order Book Integration Features

Zero-Slippage Liquidations

Pre-positioned protective orders prevent forced market sales:
