Why a market will not open

Every reason DeVOLT will refuse to open a leveraged position, what each one actually means, and, the useful part, whose problem it is to fix.

A market can be perfectly healthy and still not be one you can lever here. When that happens the market page says which reason applies rather than showing a disabled button, because “not available” on its own tells you nothing about whether to wait, act, or look elsewhere.

The reasons are grouped below by who can do something about them, which is the only grouping that changes what you should do next.

Can this market be levered here, and if not, whose problem is it?

Yours to act on
  • the collateral is permissioned, and onboarding with the issuer is what opens it
The venue has to change something
  • the venue has not authorised DeVOLT to act for you
  • the collateral grants no borrowing power here
  • the venue has switched borrowing off
  • the venue is not taking new deposits
  • the venue has paused the market
This one recovers on its own
  • the borrow cap is full, and frees as borrowers repay
  • no free lender on that chain holds enough to flash
Shaped in a way DeVOLT cannot drive
  • this market sits outside what the venue adapter handles
  • the collateral is the coin of the chain rather than a token
  • the collateral sells for far less than its oracle price, so a close could not repay the loan
  • a levered position here could not be closed when tested on a copy of the live chain
  • the venue is supported, the adapter is not deployed here yet
Something could not be read
  • the price feed could not be read
  • no aggregator would quote a trade into the collateral
  • nothing matched, so the panel says that rather than guessing
The collateral has an end date
  • the collateral is dated and has passed its maturity
The refusals as the panel groups them. Most of the list is read from the same place the market page reads it, so a refusal the product learns to give cannot go undescribed here. The dated collateral and the missing route are decided earlier, by the rules that decide what gets listed at all, which is why they are the ones you will meet before a market page rather than on it.

You can act on this

KYC required
The collateral is a permissioned real-world asset behind an on-chain approval list. It has no open liquidity, so it cannot be traded or levered here. Onboarding with the issuer is what unlocks it, and the panel links to them.

The venue has to change something

These are not properties of your wallet or your size, and nothing you approve will help. They are settings on the lending venue itself.

not enabled here yet
The venue requires its own governance to authorise DeVOLT to act for users, and has not. Trying would fail. You can still supply and borrow in the market directly on the venue.
collateral grants no borrowing power
The venue lists this collateral with a maximum loan-to-value of zero. It can be supplied, but nothing can be borrowed against it, so there is nothing to lever.
not accepting new borrows
The venue has switched borrowing off in this market by setting its cap below the debt already outstanding. Unrelated to how much liquidity is sitting there.
not accepting new deposits
The venue has capped how much collateral this market will take, and the cap is full.
paused
The venue has paused the market outright.

This recovers on its own

borrow cap reached
The venue caps how much of the loan token may be borrowed here and the cap is currently full. It frees up as existing borrowers repay.
not enough to flash
Opening needs to borrow the loan token for the length of one transaction, and the lender that chain uses holds too little of it. The panel names the lender it checked and what it measured, so the refusal shows its evidence instead of asserting, and the market page lists every other lender with what each holds. With engine v3 any of them that holds enough is chosen instead.

The market is shaped in a way DeVOLT cannot drive

market not supported
DeVOLT levers this venue, but not this particular market, usually because its debt asset is outside what the venue adapter handles.
native collateral
The collateral is the coin of the chain itself rather than a token, and the contracts move tokens.
no adapter on this chain
The venue is supported, but the contract that drives it has not been deployed on this chain.

Something could not be read

no oracle price
The price feed for this market could not be read. Sizing a leveraged position without a price is not something to attempt.
no route
No aggregator would quote a trade into this collateral at all, so the buying step has nowhere to execute.
reason not identified
Nothing else matched, so the panel says so rather than naming a confident wrong reason. It is worth reporting when you meet it, because a refusal nobody can explain is a defect on our side rather than a property of the market.

The market has an end date

matured
The collateral is a dated instrument that has passed its maturity. New positions are closed off; existing ones can still be exited, which is the direction that matters.

What a refusal never means

It is not a judgement about the market’s quality, and it is not a claim that the market is unsafe. Most of the reasons above are about DeVOLT’s reach rather than the market’s health, and nearly all of them leave the market perfectly usable directly on the venue that hosts it. Where that is the case the panel links you there.
