auction? Anyone knows?
Check how much $ worth of tokens you pay for the auction and how much $ worth of tokens you get from collateral in return. If what you pay is lower than what you receive, you make bank.
Logically, that was my approach but then when I converted DFI into the price token and the collateral is also DFI it turns out I’m paying more DFI to buy the token than I’ll get in return from collateral. How’s that possible?
It's possible because you made it possible. If you think it's a bad deal, you shouldn't do it.
Is there any API for auctions?
Don’t get it! The bidding price showed lower that the collateral so it should be good. How can I check off I actually made any profit on the deal?
Yeah, but documentation is still lacking: https://jellyfish.defichain.com/ You can also see auctions in the light wallet, at https://defiscan.live/auctions or at https://dfi.terac.de/auctions.
You have to calculate it on your own.
You can see how many dTokens are needed to win the auction and you can see, which collateral you will win. Now go to the DEX, enter the needed amount of the dTokens and see, how many DFI you need to buy.
Can I message you in pm?
From personal experience, right now auctions are 99.99% of the time overpriced and you loose money
I did that and it turns out I need more DFI to buy a token than I get DFI as collateral even though the auction descriptor on the DEFI website says the price is cheaper than the collateral.
The value of the dtokens on the auction page shows the Oracle cost (cost to mint) the tokens not the cost of them on the Dex. You are comparing to different things, minting them vs buying them
You mean for the bid prices? Is there any way, a table to automate this process? To see if the auction is worth the shot?
Absolutely you can build a table using the ocean or jellyfish API
According to the table you’ve posted nearly all the auctions are a loss? WTF 🤬
From one perspective...they are liquidated vaults so the collateral can't be more than 150% the loan plus 5% fee. If you are buying tokens to bid then it is a straight loss, if you are minting, then now you control more DFI than before, but have an open short... This is how it works...are you looking for a quick win, or do you want to understand
oh so the creditor gets his loan back and the dummy who thinks he’s made a great deal by buying the auctioned vault is getting screwed. Do I get it right?
No, not necessarily. We're currently in an unusual situation were the collateral lost more value than the underlying borrowed amount. If the collateral gains more value than the borrowed amount again, it might make sense to earn with auctions again.
Ok, is this because the stocks dived lately?
Rather because cryptos dipped more than stocks.
That adds to the lower spread, but again you are bidding for the right to close an open short
Ah, OK. So using that table you’ve sent the link to. I always have to see that the collateral dUSD value is higher than the loan dUSD, this way I should be good. Correct?
Yeah. I'd rather look at the USD value of the assets you're beginning with in the first place, though.
