When reserves are insufficient, the plan would allocate them pro rata among eligible borrowers, omit actions at or below $1,000, and cap repayments at the lowest of reserves, available cash, or current borrower debt.<\/p>\n<p>The cbETH row lists $1,768,665.13 of gross bad debt, a $1,768,664.86 net shortfall, and $7,360.83 of reserves, but the report does not say whether the $1,000 cutoff, available cash, or another consideration produced the $0 allocation.<\/p>\n<p>The shortfall traces back to a Feb. 15 oracle misconfiguration that priced cbETH near $1.12 instead of roughly $2,200. Anthias Labs said liquidators seized 1,096.317 cbETH and left the protocol with about $1.8 million in initial total bad debt.<\/p>\n<p>A February recovery proposal later calculated about $2.7 million in net losses across roughly 181 borrowers liquidated between Feb. 14 and 18, and proposed treasury funding followed by protocol-revenue repayments.<\/p>\n<p>Moonwell&#8217;s help material says withdrawals\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">depend on<\/span> available liquidity, so the API reading and two public complaints point to an unresolved liquidity question.<\/p>\n<p>Moonwell and Anthias Labs had not responded in the public forum thread by about 11:30 UTC on Aug. 25.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Debt,DeFi,Featured,Lending,cbETH,ethereumcbETH,ethereum#Moonwell #1.8M #liquidity #hole #latest #plan #allocates #fix1787722514<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decentralized lending protocol Moonwell has proposed no cbETH repayment in its latest reserve round, even as the Base market for Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH carries a $1.77 million net shortfall.
