Credit Events
Borrower default and what a Lender can do about it
Two conditions constitute actionable credit events on a Secured Line of Credit:
Failing to repay a Credit Position in full by that position's deadline
Breaching a covenant — in particular the minimum Collateral Ratio where asset collateral is used
Either condition moves the facility's status to LIQUIDATABLE (any past-deadline open position emits an onchain Default event and can be monitored in real time).
Lender recourse when LIQUIDATABLE
Borrower and Lenders can renegotiate at any point — refinancing (new rates, new deadline, new capital) is available even while LIQUIDATABLE, which is the onchain path for a workout.
Insolvency
If the Borrower is permanently unable to repay, the Admin can declare the facility INSOLVENT (only from LIQUIDATABLE). This is the onchain impairment event: it fixes recoverable amounts for accounting purposes — for Lenders, deposit plus repaid interest minus outstanding principal — and lets integrated vaults mark positions accordingly.
Emergency recovery (ABORTED)
Facilities can be deployed with recovery functionality enabled. On such facilities, the Admin and Borrower can by mutual consent move the facility to ABORTED — a terminal emergency state (e.g. responding to an exploit or critical operational failure). Once ABORTED:
The Admin can recover tokens held in the Line, the Escrow (including Uniswap V3 positions), and the Spigot for orderly out-of-band resolution
The facility can never be reactivated
If recovery is not enabled at deployment, no party — including the Admin — ever has these powers on that facility.
