mrgnloop
Use mrgnloop to arbitrage interest rates across a diverse range of assets and open leveraged long positions with marginfi flashloans.
How Does mrgnloop Work?
mrgnloop uses marginfi flashloans to make accessing leverage more user friendly than ever. This is because marginfi-v2 flashloans allow mrgnloop to bundle multiple borrow and lend instructions within a single transaction. Flashloans allow marginfi accounts to borrow an outsized position relative to their lend position by circumventing the health checks that are typically performed when a user withdraws liquidity from marginfi.
For example, if a user wanted to open a long position on SOL relative to USDC, marginfi flashloans would handle the process in the follwing order:
The flashloan first borrows all the USDC the user needs.
The flaslohloan swaps the USDC for SOL.
The flashloan deposit the SOL from the swap and the principal lent amount into the user's marginfi account. At this point, the flashloan has ended.
The health check is performed once the flashloan has completed.
Flashloans allow the user to be in bad health during the borrow-lend process without throwing an error, as long as the user is in good health at the end of the transaction.
When you have a starting amount to deposit, like 10 SOL, and decide which tokens you want to borrow against and their respective weights, this will determine your Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio and maximum leverage. LTV is the ratio of your loan amount to the value of your deposited assets. With this information, you can calculate how much you can increase your investment through leverage.
By using flashloans, mrgnloop ensures that users can access liquidity without the typical constraints of traditional borrowing and lending processes. With mrgnloop, you can maximize your capital efficiency by leveraging their assets, meaning you can control larger positions with a smaller initial investment.
mrgnloop uses flashloans to create a secure and flexible method for optimizing capital and enabling long strategies, all within a secure and user-friendly platform.
