2. Honzon Stablecoin
The Honzon Protocol is a set of mechanisms to manage aUSD loans with multiple collaterals, monitor and adjust stability of aUSD based on various risk parameters such as collateral ratio, interest rates, debt level etc. We outline a user guide per below to use the Honzon protocol.
If you have yet had an account and test tokens, please refer to the Get Started Guide.
The guide below will illustrate the following functionalities
- Check Required Collateral Ratio

Check important figures for a particular loan:
-
liquidation price: if a collateral price drops to or under theliquidation price, then the loan is unsafe -
liquidation ratio: if the collateral ratio of a loan is below this ratio, then the loan is unsafe -
liquidation penalty: it is applied on top of the debit amount and paid to the liquidator. -
current ratio: current collateral ratio -
required ratio: required collateral ratio for borrowing (additional) aUSD, this is usually higher thanliquidation ratioto maintain a safety vault -
interest rate: annualized interest rate for the loan, this is indicative of course, as rates are calculated each block
Click the Create Loan button, follow the prompt to select a collateral type, and the amount of aUSD to generate.
For the aUSD borrowed, you can pay back, and generate more if there is enough collateral. For the collateral asset, you can deposit more (but not immediately generate aUSD), or withdraw available collateral.
Use Chain state -> cdpEngine -> requiredCollateralRatio to check required collateral ratio for a given token.
On Mandala Test Network, DOT at 160%, and BTC at 150%.
Use Chain state -> oracle -> values to check price for a given token. Convert the hex value to number.
Use Extrinsics -> honzon -> updateVault to loan out aUSD.
-
currency_id: asset used as collateral -
collateral: amount to deposit as collateral for this loan -
debit: the amount to loan out, note this is not aUSD amount, but a debit unit to account for aUSD owed plus accumulated interest etc.
To get debit to aUSD exchange rate, use Chain state -> cdpEngine -> debitExchangeRate.
On Mandala Test Network, the debit to aUSD exchange rate starts at 0.1.
As for the above aUSD example
- 1 DOT is deposited as collateral for the loan
- 1500 debit units equivalent to 150.736577445027942000 aUSD will be loaned out
- with DOT value at about $300, the actual collateral ratio was about 199.02%
Use Chain state -> loan -> collaterals to check collaterals locked in the loan.
Use Chain state -> loan -> debits to check amount owing, again this is not aUSD amount, but a debit unit to account for aUSD owed plus accumulated interest etc. See above section for obtaining debit to aUSD exchange rate.
Use Extrinsics -> honzon -> updateVault to withdraw collateral and/or payback aUSD loan.
-
collateral: a negative amount means a withdraw -
debit: a negative amount means paying back aUSD, again this is not aUSD amount, but a debit unit to account for aUSD owed plus accumulated interest etc. See above section for obtaining debit to aUSD exchange rate.
