TACO and loss rebates
What is TACO?
TACO is the House LP's share token.
How much TACO does a loss earn?
When a position closes at a loss or is liquidated, the amount credited to the pool, L, earns TACO worth r × L at net asset value, minted in the same transaction directly to your wallet. The remaining (1 − r) × L stays with existing holders. Because open losses are already counted in net assets, holders see the loss as it builds up; at the close, the rebate is paid out of it.
Deposits, openings, unrealized losses and winning or break-even closes earn nothing. If minting fails, the close or liquidation reverts.
| Case | Amount credited to the pool (L) |
|---|---|
| Loss close, position funded from your balance | Loss minus the loss fee actually collected (2% when the queue is empty; no fee when it isn't) |
| Loss close, position funded from queued profit | Canceled queued amount minus the loss fee actually collected |
| Liquidation, position funded from your balance | Margin minus the 2% liquidation fee (full margin when the queue isn't empty) |
| Liquidation, position funded from queued profit | Queued amount used as margin |
All losing positions closed with one signature are added into one L. Winning positions in the same batch do not offset it; the rebate is priced after the whole batch is settled.
How is the rebate rate set?
The rebate rate r is always below 1, so the pool keeps most of every loss.
| Pool state | Rebate rate | TACO for a $1,000 loss |
|---|---|---|
| Net assets $10 million, after launch | 8% | $78.40 ($980 credited after the loss fee) |
| Net assets about $100,000, early launch | about 22% | about $217 ($980 credited) |
| Winners queued | 30% | $300 ($1,000 credited; no loss fee while queued) |
A higher rate returns more of a loss. It does not guarantee a gain: rebate TACO is worth r × L only at the net asset value when minted.
