Liquidator

The Liquidator module is responsible for collecting reward tokens from vaults, swapping them and donating back the purchased tokens to the vaults. Typically, this is swapping reward tokens to vault assets which are donated back to the vaults to increase their assets per share. For example, swapping $CRV earned in a Curve pool back to a vault asset like $DAI. There can be multiple reward tokens collected from a vault and different target tokens can be specified for each reward token.
The Liquidator's main task is to batch the swapping of rewards collected from multiple vaults. This socializes the gas costs in swapping rewards across multiple vaults.
The Liquidator uses a Swapper module to do on-chain token swaps. A swapper typically uses a swap aggregator like 1Inch or CowSwap but can use decentralized exchanges like Uniswap or Balancer.

Functions

collectRewards

function collectRewards(address[] vaults) external returns (address[][] rewardTokens, uint256[][] rewards, address[][] purchaseTokens)
The keeper or governor can collect different rewards from a list of vaults. The Liquidator calls each vault to collect their rewards. The vaults transfer the rewards to themselves first and then the Liquidator transfers each reward from each vault to the Liquidator. Vault rewards can be collect multiple times before they are swapped for the vault asset. It's the responsibility of the Liquidator to account for how many rewards were collected from each vault.
Parameters
Name
Type
Description
vaults
address[]
List of vault addresses to collect rewards from.
Return Values
Name
Type
Description
rewardTokens
address[][]
Reward token addresses for each vault. The first dimension is vault from the vaults param. The second dimension is the index of the reward token within the vault.
rewards
uint256[][]
Amount of reward tokens collected for each vault. The first dimension is vault from the vaults param. The second dimension is the index of the reward token within the vault.
purchaseTokens
address[][]
The token to purchase for each of the rewards. The first dimension is vault from the vaults param. The second dimension is the index of the reward token within the vault.

donateTokens

function donateTokens(address[] rewardTokens, address[] purchaseTokens, address[] vaults) external returns (uint256[] assets)
The protocol Governor or Keeper can send the purchased assets in a batch back to the vaults. The order of the input elements is important to aggreate multiple deposits of the same asset to the vault.
ie. Vault 1 has Reward A, Reward B, both rewards are swapped for the same donated Token T.
  • donateTokens([rewardA.address, rewardB.address], [tokenT.address, tokenT.address], [vault1.Address, vault1.Address] Only triggers one deposit of Token T to the underlying vault
