Market states
The blockchain is always open. The market is not.
Vadium should operate a market-state machine that controls whether users can increase risk based on price freshness, underlying market state and execution liquidity.
| State | New borrowing | Collateral withdrawal | Repay / top up | Liquidation / buy-in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active | Allowed | Allowed if healthy | Always allowed | Allowed with fresh price + execution |
| Restricted | Reduced or disabled | Restricted | Always allowed | RFQ-first / conservative |
| Closed / stale | Disabled | Disabled | Always allowed | Normally paused unless a safe route exists |
| Recovery | Disabled initially | Disabled initially | Always allowed | Reopens before new risk |
