Curve Proposes Stable Pool Plan to Recover About $700,000 in LlamaLend Bad Debt

Michael Egorov proposed a Curve Stableswap pilot that would let lenders with trapped LlamaLend deposits sell tokenized claims tied to roughly $700,000 in CRV-long bad debt.

CRV

Summary

Curve founder Michael Egorov proposed a market-based recovery mechanism for about $700,000 in bad debt tied to the CRV-long LlamaLend market. The plan would convert impaired positions into tradable tokenized claims through a Curve Stableswap pool centered around 71% solvency for impaired vault tokens, allowing lenders with trapped deposits to sell their claims. Buyers would gain option-like exposure to a potential recovery in CRV, while the structure could create price discovery and secondary-market liquidity for otherwise illiquid distressed positions.

Terms & Concepts
  • Bad debt: Liabilities that are unlikely to be fully repaid, often arising when collateral falls below the value needed to cover a loan.
  • Stableswap pool: A Curve-style liquidity pool designed for assets expected to trade at close values, using a pricing curve that can reduce slippage.
  • Tokenized claims: Blockchain-based representations of rights to an underlying asset or deposit, allowing those claims to be transferred or traded.
