Prerequisite Readings

Shorter’s Anatomy

  • Pools: It initially paves the way for altcoin holders for unstable tokens’ deposits and profit. The controllable shift of these assets grants the trading capacities to this whole protocol.
  • Trading Hub: The core ingredient serves users as a gateway over the logic between positions and underlying assets.
  • Position: Managed by Trading Hub and Auction Hall. Its lifecycle shifts in obedience to the prescribed rigorous rules before.
  • Auction Hall: A venue built on contractual logic supporting debt bidding and recovering activities.
  • Committee: Similar to committees in real but even more decentralized.
  • Farming: This can be of substantial assistance to help users care more about their earnings by interacting with smart contracts or getting involved in activities.
  • strPool: The staking proof token distributed by pools, maintaining the pool-related data structures as well.
  • Vault: It gives far more opportunities for arbitrage rulers to bid on Legacy assets through a set of open interfaces.
  • Treasury: This is a catch-all for overall protocol revenue.
