How do Wasabi vaults work?

• Wasabi vaults provide liquidatable loans to traders that want leverage. The LPs earn yield denominated in the asset that they lent out. Wasabi’s ETH pool supplies the long positions whereas the other token pools supply the short positions.

What are the risks associated with using vaults?

• The risks of LPing on Wasabi is that we are unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner. This will lead to interest and/or principal payments being effected. We reduce the risk of bad debt through liquidatable loans and deep settlement liquidity.
