Curve LlamaLend (Optimism)
Takes as collateral: bitcoin and ether
One of 3 deployments of Curve LlamaLend · also on Arbitrum, Ethereum
Dollar loans only: other currencies are separate books, never added in
Debt and rates count loans made in US dollars and dollar stablecoins. Loans in euros, francs, yen, ether or bitcoin itself are separate books, shown by currency on each venue, never added in.
- BTC collateral — the supplied amount of the venue's pegged-bitcoin reserves as each pool reports it — what is deposited, not what is pledged against a loan.
- Liquidates at — the markets taken together at one threshold (they run 95%–96.5%, which puts it between $39,935 and $40,566); debt and collateral as each market reports them, thresholds as read on 2026-10-01 (2026-09/curve.json).
What “Liquidates at” is: one price for the whole book, not a forecast
"Liquidates at" is the bitcoin price at which this book, taken as one position, stops covering its debt at its liquidation thresholds — an aggregate, not a forecast: individual loans are levered differently and liquidate above it.
Loan duration is not a venue figure on an on-chain pool: these markets are open-term, and a position runs until it is repaid or liquidated. A fixed term exists only where the venue writes one — the custodial desks (cefi_credit_rates.term_days) and Gavel's auction, which is fixed-rate and fixed-term by construction.

Markets — as served, not a venue rate
One row per market, as the venue publishes them. These are market rates: combining them into a single venue rate is a weighting across this venue's markets, and choosing one here would be a methodology decision taken in a web page.
No BTC market rows are served for this venue. It runs contracts, so the absence is this dataset’s, not the venue’s.
Price
What does credit cost here, and how is the price formed?
| Rate formation | algorithmic_utilisationsourceEach market names a monetary policy contract that sets the borrow rate from the market's own utilisation (crvUSD supplied to its vault against crvUSD borrowed): algorithmic_utilisation. The curve each policy implements was not read. |

| Rate certainty | variablesourceCurve one-way lending factory 0x451200382d931F62b2d2bC9C215d99Aa106Dc8d0, 0x5F94073E3f51c1FFf92ffc6b4B06b7Af193B3640 on OP Mainnet (chain 10) — the borrow rate is whatever the market's monetary policy contract returns when the market is touched; nothing is fixed at origination. |
Quality
What stands behind a position, and what can change under the reader?
| Oracle dependency | singlesourceCurve one-way lending factory 0x451200382d931F62b2d2bC9C215d99Aa106Dc8d0, 0x5F94073E3f51c1FFf92ffc6b4B06b7Af193B3640 on OP Mainnet (chain 10) — each market is one Controller and one AMM (LLAMMA), and the AMM reads ONE price oracle contract for its collateral (price_oracle()). Markets do not share collateral, so a loan depends on its own market's oracle and no other. What each oracle contract aggregates was not read. |
|---|---|
| Default & liquidation | softsourceCurve one-way lending factory 0x451200382d931F62b2d2bC9C215d99Aa106Dc8d0, 0x5F94073E3f51c1FFf92ffc6b4B06b7Af193B3640 on OP Mainnet (chain 10) — a loan's collateral is deposited into the market's AMM across price bands. As the oracle price falls through a band the AMM converts that band's collateral into the borrowed asset, and converts it back if the price recovers (soft liquidation). Once a loan's health falls below zero anyone may liquidate it outright (Controller.liquidate). liquidation_discount, read per market, is the discount at which health is computed. |
| Custody & backing | protocol_custodialsourceCurve one-way lending factory 0x451200382d931F62b2d2bC9C215d99Aa106Dc8d0, 0x5F94073E3f51c1FFf92ffc6b4B06b7Af193B3640 on OP Mainnet (chain 10) — create_loan() transfers the collateral into the market's AMM contract, which holds it (and any of it converted to the borrowed asset) until the loan is repaid or liquidated. |
| Recourse | non_recoursesourceCurve one-way lending factory 0x451200382d931F62b2d2bC9C215d99Aa106Dc8d0, 0x5F94073E3f51c1FFf92ffc6b4B06b7Af193B3640 on OP Mainnet (chain 10) — liability is bounded by the collateral in the loan's bands; no function pursues a borrower beyond it, and a shortfall stays in the market as bad debt. |
| Track record | 2 months observedsourceDerived from the first aggregator observation this dataset holds for the venue (defi_rates_llama, 2026-07-23; the registry holds no first_date for it). This is a LOWER BOUND on the venue's age, not the age itself: a venue trading long before the aggregator began listing it reads short here. The observer is the aggregator, not the venue's own contracts. Not typed, and not a claim about the venue's longevity. |
Composition
Who and what makes up this market?
| Collateral accepted | BTC-collateral markets with 1,000 crvUSD or more of debt (1): WBTCsourceCurve one-way lending factory 0x451200382d931F62b2d2bC9C215d99Aa106Dc8d0, 0x5F94073E3f51c1FFf92ffc6b4B06b7Af193B3640 on OP Mainnet (chain 10) (registry/resolution/2026-09/curve.json). Curve's API lists 8 lending markets on this chain, 2 with a bitcoin-symbol collateral, read 2026-09-30. With debt: WBTC/USDC — Controller 0x9fC15ac3EF97093832f49B7997A58E29b49C56dE, collateral 0x68f180fcCe6836688e9084f035309E29Bf0A2095 (8 decimals), 71,428 USDC across 11 loans, loan discount 8%, liquidation discount 5%. ⚠ BOUND: a market Curve's API does not list is not found. Each market takes ONE collateral, so the collateral behind a loan is unambiguous. |
|---|---|
| Book depth & concentration | unknown (no per-venue counterparty count exists in this registry or in the comparison payload, so depth and concentration cannot be established. This is a gap in THIS DATASET, not in the venue, and is a different value from `undisclosed`, which would mean the venue does not publish it.) |
| Observability | price: partial — Observed through the aggregator (DefiLlama). The aggregator's rows are each pool's published borrow and supply rates as it reports them — not a read of the venue's own contracts, and not checked against one. As of 2026-10-01. quantity: partial — Observed through the aggregator (DefiLlama): bitcoin collateral is the supplied amount of each pegged-bitcoin reserve, converted at the day's bitcoin reference, and debt is the borrowed amount per pool or vault. Neither is a read of the venue's own contracts. As of 2026-10-01. composition: none — Not obtainable from an aggregator — composition is loan-level and requires event ingestion, which is not planned for this venue. |

Each currency is a separate book; the dollar equivalents compare sizes and are never added together.
Backing chain
Each link from what this venue takes as collateral down to the bitcoin it rests on, in order, with how each link was established.
How a chain is read, and what it does not claim
backing_chain: the ordered claims standing between a creditor and the coins, each link derived from a sourced fact already held and carrying it in `derived_from` — the custody cell, the venue's borrow card, or wrapper_registry.yaml for who holds the bitcoin behind a token. A `representation` link has one branch per token the venue takes; branches are alternatives, not a sequence. A link nobody has established is shown with status `incomplete` and names what is missing — it is never dropped, because a missing link omitted makes a long chain look short. `undisclosed` means the party does not publish it; `incomplete` means this dataset has not established it. NEVER SCORED AND NEVER COUNTED: no length, link count or ranking is published, and none should be derived — chain length and link transparency are orthogonal (ETP-backed margin is the longest chain here and every link of it is regulated). `recourse` is what the creditor holds beyond the chain. ⚠ Tokens are identified BY SYMBOL: the wrapper registry is not keyed by chain or address, so every `representation` link carries a `deployment` step that is incomplete — whether a token is native to the chain of the venue or a bridge receipt (one more link) is not established — and a symbol the registry knows to name a different token on a venue is shown unresolved, not given that wrapper's holders.

The generic axis set
Identical for every venue, identically computed. An axis that cannot be computed here renders its reason — never silently omitted, because an omitted axis says it was not considered. A figure that covers only part of what the axis asks is marked, with what it leaves out beneath it. Collateral, debt and the borrow and lend rates are the tiles at the top of this page.
