Token Overview

What is GRAI?

GRAI is an over-collateralized debt token issued by Gravita Protocol. GRAI can be minted by depositing collateral on Gravita Protocol.

Hard price ceiling

GRAI's Vessels' maximum LTV of 90% with WETH as a collateral creates a natural price ceiling at $1.10.

When GRAI exchange rate exceeds that level, borrowers can make an instant profit by borrowing the maximum amount against their collateral and selling GRAI on the market for more than $1.10.

If 1 GRAI trades at $1.20 for example, you can lock up $2200 worth of the LST of your choice, take out a loan of 2000 GRAI and sell it for $2400. No matter if your loans gets liquidated or not, you have made an arbitrage gain of $200.

Since also bLUSD is a supported collateral asset against which users can borrow at up top 99% TVL, GRAI hard ceiling price could also theoretically be considered $ 1.01. However this specific collateral asset will have mint caps in place to avoid excessive sell pressure on GRAI.

Hard price floor

The ability to redeem GRAI for collateral creates a hard price floor, below which arbitrage opportunities become profitable.

We call these "hard peg mechanisms" since they are based on direct processes.
