Loan and Decentralized Tokenization

Warning: Loans are in testing phase and is an experimental feature.

Interacting with Defichain loans requires multiple steps. Please refer to the pinkpaper to understand the different concepts such as :

• Collateral requirements
• Liquidation
• Auctions

This tutorial will teach you how to create a vault, take and payback a loan, and bid on an auction through the command line interface.

Create a vault

Prerequisites

• ownerAddress: Any DFI address with 2 DFI utxo (1 DFI fee for vault creation, 1 converted to collateral transparently, which is reclaimed on closevault).

./defi-cli createvault <ownerAddress> <vaultId> <loanSchemeId>

List collaterals

./defi-cli listcollateraltokens

Send collaterals to address

./defi-cli utxostoaccount '{"<address>":"<amount(`value@token`)>"}'

Deposit to vault

Prerequisites

• Any DFI address with collaterals

./defi-cli deposittovault <vaultId> <address> <amount(`value@token`)>

List loan tokens

List all available tokens to take a loan from.

./defi-cli listloantokens 

Take a loan

Prerequisites

• Enought collaterals in vault to respect collateralization ratio
• A valid loan token

./defi-cli takeloan '{"vaultId":"<vaultId>", "amounts":"<amount(`value@token`)>"}'

Payback loan

Prerequisite

• Any DFI address with enough loan tokens to payback loan

./src/defi-cli loanpayback '{"vaultId":"<vaultId>", "from":"<DFI Address>","amounts":"<amount(`value@token`)>"}'

Withdraw collaterals from vault

Prerequisite

• Enought collaterals to keep collateralization ratio above the one defined by the chosen loan scheme after withdrawal
• To withdraw all collaterals, there should not be any active loans in vault

./src/defi-cli withdrawfromvault <vaultId> <address> <amount(`value@token`)>

./src/defi-cli getloaninfo

List collateral tokens

./src/defi-cli listcollateraltokens     

List loan tokens

./src/defi-cli listloantokens

List all available loan schemes

./src/defi-cli listloanschemes

Get loan scheme

./src/defi-cli getloanscheme <loanSchemeId>

Get interest info

---

Vault utility functions

Get a vault

./defi-cli getvault <vaultId>

Update a vault

./defi-cli updatevault <vaultId> '{"ownerAddress":"<address>", "loanSchemeId":"<loanSchemeId>"}'

List vaults

Use listvaults to get all vaults owned by an address

./defi-cli listvaults '{"ownerAddress":"<address>"}'

Close vault

Prerequisites

• Any DFI address to receive collaterals (if any) and half of creation fee back (other half is burnt).

./defi-cli closevault <vaultId> <address>
