Debt Hedging Strategies

Debt Hedging

  • Active debt is your share of the global debt pool. It is not static; it changes with the composition of the debt pool. View the current debt pool composition at https://staking.synthetix.eth.limo/debt/overview.
  • Once you view the composition of the debt pool, you’ll want to take your issued debt (when minting snx) and use it to mirror the composition of the debt pool.
  • This is done by buying similar assets to the debt pool on Kwenta. We recommend that you check your debt hedging strategy every week to ensure that you roughly match the composition.
  • Ex: If the debt pool is 80% sUSD and 20% sETH, you’d take 20% of your debt and purchase sETH. Now you’re protected from the debt pool increasing
