Debt Tokens

Debt tokens are interest-accruing tokens that are minted and burned on borrow and repay, representing the debt owed by the token holder. Currently, there is only one type of debt tokens:

  • Variable debt tokens, representing a debt to the protocol with a variable interest rate

The source code can be found on Github here.

EIP20 Methods

Although debt tokens are modelled on the ERC20/EIP20 standard, they are non-transferrable. Therefore they do not implement any of the standard ERC20/EIP20 functions relating to transfer() and allowance().

balanceOf() will always return the most up to date accumulated debt of the user.

totalSupply() will always return the most up to date total debt accrued by all protocol users for that specific type (variable) of debt token.
