💡
Note that there may be slippage when closing or unwinding your position. This cost is due to the relevant token exchange estimations used (eg. swapping your position OUSD to lvUSD) during the closing transactions. This slippage amount does not go to the protocol.

FAQ What happens if I close my browser before I get the Close Position confirmation?
  • Don’t worry, all events are stored on-chain. If you completed the Close Position process then you can confirm this by checking your wallet's address transactions on Etherscan at this link: https://etherscan.io/address/[your-wallet-address]
Why did I receive a lower amount of OUSD than what was showing in My Dashboard?
  • The following items will affect your claimed funds when closing a position:
    • Curve exchange fee
    • Current exchange rate of lvUSD/OUSD
    • Debt Repayment (only if your position was negative when closing)
What wallets do you support?
  • Currently we only support Metamask. It’s important to note that there are many different Metamask plugins and alternatives. While some work well, others are known to break. We try to test our platform with the most common compatible Metamask plugins but we can not guarantee 100% coverage.
  • Therefore, we advise users to only use the original Metamask with our platform. If you have used an alternative Metamask plugin and are having any issues, we recommend switching to the original Metamask. If needed you can transfer your position NFT to a Metamask wallet and manage or close it from there.
