Although Auros, an algorithmic trading, and market-making company, has not yet commented on the claim made by M11 Credit, Maple Finance has retweeted the thread.
M11 Credit emphasized that just when a payment was missed, that doesn’t indicate the loan is in default. Instead, the “5-day grace period as per the smart contracts” has been triggered by the delayed payment.
According to this, Auros has until December 5 to make the late payment before being deemed in default.
What Does It Mean By Staked Maple Tokens?
A default might cause the borrower’s collateral to be sold off, and staked maple tokens and USDC on the platform could be utilized to make up any shortages to lenders, according to an official Maple Finance YouTube video. The New York courts may also be used to take enforcement action.
“Working with Auros to develop a joint statement that gives additional information to lenders,” according to M11 Credit, is what they claim to be doing.
Cointelegraph has contacted M11 Credit and Auros for comment, but no response has been received.
