The Stability Pool

The Stability Pool is Ethos Reserve’s ultimate source of ERN liquidity, designed to repay debt from liquidated positions and establish a consistent source of yield for ERN.

When positions are liquidated under normal circumstances, an amount of ERN equal to that position’s remaining debt is burned from the Stability Pool’s balance for repayment. In exchange, the entire collateral from the position is transferred to the Stability Pool.

To users, these liquidations can be thought of like purchases of discounted collateral from each pool each time a position becomes unhealthy. Your balance of ERN will continuously decline as your balance of collateral tokens will continuously increase.

Many users sell the discounted collateral they receive for more $ERN to benefit from the effects of compound interest. This is handled for you automatically in the staked ERN (stERN) vault.

Can I withdraw my ERN deposit whenever I want? Generally speaking, the Stability Pool is not locked and remains accessible. However, withdrawals may be temporarily suspended whenever there are positions with collateral ratio below 110% that have not been liquidated yet.
