Appendix

This appendix provides additional details to support the Nebula Lending Protocol's whitepaper, offering clarity on technical terms, token allocation, and links to relevant resources.

1. Glossary of Terms

  • Collateralization Ratio: The ratio of collateral value to the borrowed amount. For example, a 150% collateralization ratio means the collateral must be worth 1.5 times the loan amount.

  • IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication): A protocol enabling blockchains to communicate and transfer assets securely and seamlessly.

  • LST (Liquid Staking Tokens): Tokens that represent staked assets, allowing users to maintain liquidity while earning staking rewards.

  • DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization): A governance structure where decisions are made collectively by token holders.

  • Smart Contract: Self-executing programs on a blockchain that automate predefined actions when conditions are met.

2. Token Allocation

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What assets can I use as collateral? Initially supported assets include USDT, USDC, ETH, and native Nibiru tokens. The community can vote to add more assets through governance.

  • How are interest rates determined? Interest rates adjust dynamically based on the utilization ratio of each liquidity pool. A stable rate option is also available for predictable borrowing costs.

  • What happens if my collateral value drops? If the collateralization ratio falls below the required threshold, a portion of your collateral will be liquidated to maintain the protocol's stability.

  • How do I participate in governance? Stake Nebula tokens to gain voting power and participate in on-chain governance proposals.

  • Is Nebula interoperable with other blockchains? Yes, Nebula leverages the IBC protocol to support cross-chain lending and borrowing.

Next Steps

This appendix serves as a supplementary resource for understanding the Nebula Lending Protocol and its ecosystem. For further inquiries, users and developers are encouraged to engage with the Nebula community or explore the resources provided.

How to Include in GitBook:

  1. Create a Chapter: Add a new chapter titled "Appendix" in the table of contents.

  2. Subsections: Use headers (## or ###) to break the content into manageable parts like "Glossary of Terms," "Token Allocation," etc.

  3. Links and Placeholders: Replace placeholders with actual links to relevant resources (GitHub repositories, audit reports, community pages).

  4. Styling: Use tables for structured data like token allocation and FAQs for clarity.

This structure ensures that the appendix is user-friendly and easy to navigate within your GitBook documentation.
