Rate Mechanism
How RAVA charges for leverage on a liquidation acquisition. Built around one fact: RWA exits can take weeks or months, not seconds. Tokens redeem at NAV through the issuer's monthly or quarterly window. Cash does not flow until then.
So the loan is full PIK. No cash payments while you hold. Interest accrues to the loan principal. You repay everything in one settlement at exit.
The rate has two parts
Base + spread.
- Base: SOFR or its on chain equivalent. Floats with the market.
- Spread: starts at 300bps. If the asset is hot at issuance, surge pricing widens it.
All in at issuance: roughly 6.65%.
Miss a redemption window, the rate steps up
Each missed window adds 300bps to the spread. Three windows missed, the pool forecloses.
| When | All in rate |
|---|---|
| Issuance, locked through window 1 | ~6.65% |
| Window 1 missed | ~9.65% |
| Window 2 missed | ~12.65% |
| Window 3 missed | foreclosure |
This is what keeps you exiting promptly. Sitting costs money.
If the position goes bad, enforcement is graduated
If the underlying value drops, your LTV rises. Crossing a threshold does not trigger an immediate seizure. It triggers a sequence:
- Warning. Visible on the dashboard.
- Cash sweep. Distributions from the asset redirect to the pool.
- Partial release. A slice of collateral is sold to repay the pool. You keep the rest.
- Foreclosure. Pool takes the position.
Each step gives you a chance to cure. Your collateral absorbs loss first. The pool absorbs anything beyond it.
Fees
- Origination: 0.35% one time on the loan amount, deducted at issuance
- Profit share: RAVA takes 0.50% of realized profit at exit
- Loan repayment: loan principal + accrued PIK, in one settlement at exit
Who decides the offered LTV
The LTV per opportunity is underwritten by Ravariant Labs. You see one number when you open the acquisition. The mechanics behind it stay internal.
