LTV

Loan-to-value, and why no number is published yet.

ts
LTV = debtValue / collateralValue

A maximum LTV is a statement about how far the protocol trusts its own valuation of the Stockpile under stress. Publishing one before the oracle policy exists would be publishing a guess.

What the number depends on

  • Volatility of the basket legs
  • Staleness of equity pricing outside market hours
  • Depth available to a liquidator
  • Redemption fee, which reduces recoverable value
