Bond Issuing
Acceptable Collateral Assets
Hipo enables users to deposit one set of collateral assets, while borrow another set of assets. Bonds issuer could borrow corresponding stable coins or Algo by depositing LPs Tokens from Uniswap V2 and issuing bonds.
Valuation of Collateral Assets
Hipo V1 accepts LPs Tokens of USDC/ETH, ETH/USDt, DAI/ETH on Uniswap. Each token represents the LP’s share of the pool’s assets along with the trading fee percentage, thus the value fluctuated with impermanent loss and accumulated fee.
