The Polynomial liquidity layer acts as the counterparty for derivative applications, which can result in debt accumulation.
Pool-Level Debt: Debt is distributed across all liquidity providers according to their share of deposits Shared Responsibility: All stakers share in both profits and losses
⚠️ Warning: Market skew or poor performance can cause debt to increase.
Market skew: Imbalanced long/short positions
Trader performance: Poor trading outcomes
Market conditions: Volatile or unfavorable market movements
To withdraw liquidity from the pool, you must first pay off any outstanding debt:
Bridge additional funds: Debt must be bridged to Polynomial Chain
Pay from new funds: Debt won't reduce your staked amount
Complete repayment: Once debt is paid, you can unstake
24-hour waiting period: After unstaking, wait before withdrawal
Additional funds required: You need to bridge extra funds to settle debt
No reduction in stake: Your staked amount remains unchanged
Timing matters: New deposits reset the 24-hour withdrawal timer
For Liquidity Providers:
Monitor debt levels before depositing
Consider market conditions when staking
Follow market trends and trading activity
For the Ecosystem:
Higher caps encourage arbitrageurs to balance markets
Open interest limits help manage risk during early phases
