Terms & Concepts
  • Bad debt: Losses on loans or protocol positions that cannot be fully repaid, often after collateral becomes insufficient or invalid.
  • Unbacked USR: USR tokens that were minted without the collateral or reserves required to support their stated value.
  • Solana DEX: A decentralized exchange built on the Solana blockchain, where users trade assets directly through on-chain infrastructure rather than a centralized intermediary.
