Settlement Surplus Actioneer
See SettlementSurplusActioneer.sol for more details.
1. Introduction
The Settlement Surplus Auction Module facilitates the auctioning of surplus coins held by the system following the activation of a global settlement. The module's purpose is grounded in the idea that without conducting an auction, the total circulating coins might fall short of the overall system debt. This imbalance could lead to an increased redemption price for collateral. By orchestrating surplus auctions, the system guarantees an equitable redemption price, while also deterring ill-intentioned actors from exploiting a global settlement to acquire collaterals at a discounted rate.
