Collateral Delisting Process

Passed REP5-a.

If a collateral is not borrowed against sufficiently, Ruler will delist the collateral the month after. Collaterals can be listed again in the future when the borrowing needs are justified.

Delist criteria:

• Total borrow amount is less than $70,000.

• Borrow/Loan ratio is less than 20%, and rewards reduction is not possible. If rewards reduction is possible, it will be executed before delisting.

Exception criteria:

• Partner is incentivizing the liquidity pool.

• Collateral liquidity pool has no RULER rewards.

• Total loaned is expected to be more than 200k.
