1️⃣ Exciting times ahead for Open Dollar with the launch of mainnet featuring unique auction mechanisms designed to boost protocol stability and liquidity 🌊

Let's dive into how these auctions work and what they mean for you 👇 https://t.co/GYRckszfXx

2️⃣ Collateral Auctions

These are triggered during vault liquidations 🌊

The seized collateral is sold in exchange for OD 💱

The OD that is received by an auction is burned 🔥 https://t.co/YV2GELpfKe

3️⃣ Increasing Discount

To attract bidders, collateral is sold at an initial discount

This discount increases until a maximum value is reached at the discount deadline timestamp

This ensures that the auctions are competitive and fair 📉

4️⃣ Settlement

These auctions have no set deadline and continue until all collateral is sold or the needed amount of OD is raised

If the latter occurs, any remaining collateral is returned to the vault owner

This ensures no excess collateral is sold off 🔄

5️⃣ Surplus Auctions

Here, surplus OD inside the protocol is auctioned off for ODG

The ODG collected is also burned 🔥 https://t.co/PU2lCCF2ME

6️⃣ How to Bid in Surplus Auctions?

You'll need to bid a higher amount of ODG for a fixed amount of OD

Each subsequent bid must be at least 3% higher than the last

7️⃣ Debt Auctions

Reserved for emergency circumstances in the event of uncovered bad debt, these auctions mint and sell new ODG in exchange for OD

This process ensures the protocol can recover from debts efficiently by leveraging its own governance token 🪙 https://t.co/zQAPUYeMrC

8️⃣ How to Bid in Debt Auctions?

You bid a fixed amount of OD for a decreasing amount of ODG

This means each new bid must accept less ODG for the same amount of OD, ensuring the most efficient debt recovery possible ⬇️

9️⃣ Claim Tokens

Both auction types feature a 'Claim Tokens' button, allowing you to retrieve your OD or ODG if outbid

This ensures that even if you don't win the auction, your funds are returned to your account promptly 🔄
