Vault Registry

Overview

The vault registry is the central place to manage vaults. Vaults can register themselves here, update their collateral, or can be liquidated. Similarly, the issue, redeem, refund, and replace protocols call this module to assign vaults during issue, redeem, refund, and replace procedures. Moreover, vaults use the registry to register public key for the On-Chain Key Derivation Scheme and register addresses for the OP_RETURN scheme.

Multi-Collateral

The parachain supports the usage of different currencies for usage as collateral. Which currencies are allowed is determined by governance - they have to explicitly white-list currencies to be able to be used as collateral. They also have to set the various safety thresholds for each currency.

Vaults in the system are identified by a VaultId, which is essentially a (AccountId, CollateralCurrency, WrappedCurrency) tuple. Note the distinction between the AccountId and the VaultId. A vault operator can run multiple vaults using a the same AccountId but different collateral currencies (and thus VaultIds). Each vault is isolated from all others. This means that if vault operator has two running vaults using the same AccountId but different CollateralCurrencies, then if one of the vaults were to get liquidated, the other vaults remains untouched. The vault client manages all VaultIds associated with a given AccountId. Vault operators will be able to register new VaultIds through the UI, and the vault client will automatically start to manage these.

When a user requests an issue, it selects a single vault to issue with (this choice may be made automatically by the UI). However, since the wrapped token is fully fungible, it may be redeemed with any vault, even if that vault is using a different collateral currency. When redeeming, the user again selects a single vault to redeem with. If a vault fails to execute a redeem request, the user is able to either get back its wrapped token, or to get reimbursed in the vault’s collateral currency. If the user prefers the latter, the choice of vault becomes relevant because it determines which currency is received in case of failure.

The WrappedCurrency part of the VaultId is currently always required to take the same value - in the future support for different wrapped currencies may be added.

Moreover, the system implements a ceiling for the maximum amount of collateral than can be locked in the system per collateral and wrapped token pair. Governance is able to update the collateral ceilings.

Note

Please note that multi-collateral is a recent addition to the code, and the spec has not been fully updated .

Data Model

Scalars

PunishmentDelay

Time period in which a Vault cannot participate in issue, redeem or replace requests.

  • Measured in Parachain blocks

  • Initial value: 1 day (Parachain constant)

LiquidationVaultAccountId

Account identifier of an artificial vault maintained by the VaultRegistry to handle interBTC balances and DOT collateral of liquidated Vaults. That is, when a vault is liquidated, its balances are transferred to LiquidationVaultAccountId and claims are later handled via the LiquidationVault.

Maps

LiquidationVault

Mapping from CurrencyId to the account identifier of an artificial vault (see SystemVault) maintained by the VaultRegistry to handle interBTC balances and collateral of liquidated Vaults that use the given currency. That is, when a vault is liquidated, its balances are transferred to LiquidationVault and claims are later handled via the LiquidationVault.

Note

A Vault’s token balances and collateral are transferred to the LiquidationVault as a result of automated liquidations and report_vault_theft.

MinimumCollateralVault

Mapping from CurrencyId to the minimum collateral a vault needs to provide to register.

Note

This is a protection against spamming the protocol with very small collateral amounts. Vaults are still able to withdraw the collateral after registration, but at least it requires an additional transaction fee, and it provides protection against accidental registration with very low amounts of collateral.

SecureCollateralThreshold

Mapping from CurrencyId to to the over-collateralization rate for collateral locked by Vaults, necessary for issuing tokens.

The Vault can take on issue requests depending on the collateral it provides and under consideration of the SecureCollateralThreshold. The maximum amount of interBTC a vault is able to support during the issue process is based on the following equation:

\(\text{max(interBTC)} = \text{collateral} * \text{ExchangeRate} / \text{SecureCollateralThreshold}\).

  • The Secure Collateral Threshold MUST be greater than the Liquidation Threshold.

  • The Secure Collateral Threshold MUST be greater than the Premium Redeem Threshold.

Note

As an example, assume we use DOT as collateral, we issue interBTC and lock BTC on the Bitcoin side. Let’s assume the BTC/DOT exchange rate is 80, i.e., one has to pay 80 DOT to receive 1 BTC. Further, the SecureCollateralThreshold is 200%, i.e., a vault has to provide two-times the amount of collateral to back an issue request. Now let’s say the vault deposits 400 DOT as collateral. Then this vault can back at most 2.5 interBTC as: \(400 * (1/80) / 2 = 2.5\).

PremiumRedeemThreshold

Mapping from CurrencyId to the the collateral rate of Vaults, at which users receive a premium, allocated from the Vault’s collateral, when performing a Redeem with this Vault.

  • The Premium Redeem Threshold MUST be greater than the Liquidation Threshold.

LiquidationThreshold

Mapping from CurrencyId to the lower bound for the collateral rate in issued tokens. If a Vault’s collateral rate drops below this, automatic liquidation is triggered.

  • The Liquidation Threshold MUST be greater than 100% for any collateral asset.

SystemCollateralCeiling

Mapping from a collateral CurrencyId to a wrapped CurrencyId. Determines the maximum amount of collateral that Vaults are able to lock for backing a wrapped asset.

Vaults

Mapping from accounts of Vaults to their struct. <Account, Vault>.

Structs

Vault

Stores the information of a Vault.

Parameter

Type

Description

wallet

Wallet<BtcAddress>

A set of Bitcoin address(es) of this vault, used for theft detection. Additionally, it contains the btcPublicKey used for generating deposit addresses in the issue process.

status

VaultStatus

Current status of the vault (Active, Liquidated, CommittedTheft)

bannedUntil

BlockNumber

Block height until which this vault is banned from being used for Issue, Redeem (except during automatic liquidation) and Replace .

toBeIssuedTokens

interBTC

Number of interBTC tokens currently requested as part of an uncompleted issue request.

issuedTokens

interBTC

Number of interBTC tokens actively issued by this Vault.

toBeRedeemedTokens

interBTC

Number of interBTC tokens reserved by pending redeem and replace requests.

toBeReplacedTokens

interBTC

Note

This specification currently assumes for simplicity that a vault will reuse the same BTC address, even after multiple redeem requests. [Future Extension]: For better security, Vaults may desire to generate new BTC addresses each time they execute a redeem request. This can be handled by pre-generating multiple BTC addresses and storing these in a list for each Vault. Caution is necessary for users which execute issue requests with “old” vault addresses - these BTC must be moved to the latest address by Vaults.
