Recovery Mode in BOOKUSD

Recovery Mode is a safety mechanism activated when the system’s total collateralization ratio (TCR) falls below 175%, indicating that the protocol is at risk of becoming under-collateralized. It is designed to protect the stability of BUD and ensure the system remains solvent.

Key Features of Recovery Mode

Priority of Collateral Health:

• Borrowing is restricted to ensure new loans improve the system's collateralization.

• Only troves that bring the TCR closer to 175% are allowed to open or adjust.

Liquidation Adjustments:

• Troves with a collateral ratio below 175% are liquidated first, regardless of their size.

• This incentivizes borrowers to maintain high collateral ratios, even during periods of market stress.

No Issuance of New Risk:

• Borrowers are encouraged to strengthen their positions by increasing collateral or repaying debt.

Impact on Users

• Borrowers: Must ensure their Vaults are over-collateralized (above 175%) to avoid liquidation.

• Stability Pool Depositors: Benefit from increased rewards, as liquidations transfer collateral to the Stability Pool.
