Close a trove

GET /v1/actions/liquity/close

Close a trove: burns the FULL live entireDebt (incl. per-block interest accrual — keep a small stable buffer above any quote) from the sender and returns all collateral plus the gas compensation. Equivalent to lending/repay with isAll=true.

Liquity V2 family is a pooled CDP — one branch per collateral, troves = sub-accounts (troveId, the sub-account id from user data), user-set adjustable interest rates, and a per-branch Stability Pool as the stable-token earn side. Deployments: LIQUITY_V2 (Ethereum) + friendly forks (USDAF, FELIX, NERITE, QUILL, ENOSYS_LOANS, SONETA, EBISU) — all share this surface; per-fork parameters (min debt, rate bounds, gas compensation) come from metadata.

Standard lending actions cover the day-to-day ops for a <DEPLOYMENT>_<chainId>_<COLL_INDEX> market key:

stable-token deposit/withdraw → Stability Pool (earn; isAll withdraw uses the protocol sentinel)
collateral deposit/withdraw → addColl/withdrawColl (pass troveId)
borrow → withdrawBold (pass troveId; upfront-fee guard quoted automatically, override with maxUpfrontFee)
repay → repayBold clamped to entireDebt − minDebt; isAll=true routes to closeTrove (burns the full live debt from the wallet, returns collateral + the WETH gas compensation)

The endpoints in this section handle the trove lifecycle ops that need more than one amount or no amount at all. Fees to know: the upfront borrowing fee (≈7 days of average branch interest on any debt increase) and the premature rate-adjustment fee (same formula on the WHOLE debt when changing the rate within the cooldown). Repaying itself is always free.

Parameters

Parameter	In	Type	Required	Description
`chainId`	query	string	yes	Chain id See the `ChainId` schema for the full set of supported chains.
`lender`	query	string	yes	Per-branch key, e.g. LIQUITY_V2_1_0 See the `LenderId` schema for the full set of accepted values.
`troveId`	query	string	yes	Trove id (sub-account id from user data)

Response 200

Field	Type	Description
`success`	`True`
`data`	object	Informational data (quotes, simulation results, etc.)
`actions`	object	Transaction calldata and approvals. Null for quote-only responses (no account provided).
`actions.transactions`	object[]	Pre-trade setup transactions (e.g. e-mode switch, collateral enable). Execute these before the main swap. Empty when no setup is needed.
`actions.transactions[].chainType`	`evm`	Which VM executes this step. ABSENT means `evm`, which is the only value any endpoint returns today — every EVM response is unchanged. A non-EVM chain would return a different shape (a serialized, PERISHABLE transaction rather than `to`/`data`/`value`) carrying its own `chainType`, so a client that wants to stay forward-compatible should branch on this field rather than assume `to` is present.
`actions.transactions[].to`	string	Target contract address
`actions.transactions[].data`	string	Encoded calldata
`actions.transactions[].value`	string	ETH value to send with the transaction
`actions.transactions[].description`	string	Human-readable label. For `alternatives`, this is the aggregator name (e.g. "Paraswap"). For `transactions`, describes the setup action (e.g. "Switch e-mode to 1").
`actions.alternatives`	object[]	DEX aggregator swap transactions sorted by best output (descending). Each entry's `description` is the aggregator name. The client should pick one to execute. Present on loop action endpoints.
`actions.alternatives[].chainType`	`evm`	Which VM executes this step. ABSENT means `evm`, which is the only value any endpoint returns today — every EVM response is unchanged. A non-EVM chain would return a different shape (a serialized, PERISHABLE transaction rather than `to`/`data`/`value`) carrying its own `chainType`, so a client that wants to stay forward-compatible should branch on this field rather than assume `to` is present.
`actions.alternatives[].to`	string	Target contract address
`actions.alternatives[].data`	string	Encoded calldata
`actions.alternatives[].value`	string	ETH value to send with the transaction
`actions.alternatives[].description`	string	Human-readable label. For `alternatives`, this is the aggregator name (e.g. "Paraswap"). For `transactions`, describes the setup action (e.g. "Switch e-mode to 1").
`actions.permissions`	object[]	Approval/delegation transactions that must execute before both `transactions` and `alternatives`. Includes ERC20 allowances (targeting the composer contract) and lender borrow/withdrawal delegations (targeting the lending protocol contract directly). Filtered against on-chain state so only missing approvals are returned. Null when no approvals are needed.
`actions.permissions[].to`	string	Target contract address
`actions.permissions[].data`	string	Encoded calldata
`actions.permissions[].value`	string	ETH value
`actions.permissions[].description`	string	Human-readable description of the approval (e.g. "Approve borrow for AAVE_V3", "Approve ERC20")
`actions.permissions[].spender`	string	ERC-20 approve spender (x-chain permissions). Match it against the selected quote's `approvalTarget` — several bridges can share one spender, so do not match by description.
`actions.permissions[].type`	`ERC20`, `Lender`	What kind of grant this is. A `signatures[]` offer names the `type` it replaces via its `replaces` field.
`actions.signatures`	object[]	EIP-712 payloads the user can sign INSTEAD of sending the corresponding `permissions` entry. Only present when the caller opted in with `permit=auto\|required` and a permit path exists. Sign with `eth_signTypedData_v4`, then POST the same endpoint with `{permits: [{permitId, signature}]}` (plus `builds` where the response issued buildIds) — the permit executes inside the main transaction.
`actions.signatures[].permitId`	string	Opaque, self-describing handle for this permit. Round-trip it verbatim: POST `{permits: [{permitId, signature}]}` back to the same endpoint.
`actions.signatures[].kind`	`erc2612`, `dai`, `permit2`, `aaveCredit`, `morphoAuth`, `cometAuth`	Permit flavour
`actions.signatures[].typedData`	object	Ready for `eth_signTypedData_v4` (domain, types incl. EIP712Domain, primaryType, message). All numeric fields are decimal strings.
`actions.signatures[].replaces`	string	Which `permissions` entry this signature replaces (`ERC20` \| `Lender`)
`actions.signatures[].spender`	string	Who the signature authorises. Match against the permission / quote (`approvalTarget`) it replaces — on multi-spender responses (x-chain) only routes whose approvalTarget equals this spender are covered by the signature.
`actions.signatures[].description`	string	Human-readable label for this entry.
`actions.signatures[].unscoped`	boolean	True when the grant is NOT amount-scoped (full position control until revoked) — surface this to the user.
`actions.signatures[].deadline`	string	Unix seconds after which the signature is worthless (default: 30 minutes).
`actions.permitSkipped`	object[]	Why a permit was NOT offered for a permission, when one was asked for (`permit=auto\|required`). The corresponding approve transaction stands.
`actions.permitSkipped[].replaces`	string	Which permission kind stays a transaction (`ERC20` \| `Lender`)
`actions.permitSkipped[].reason`	string

Close-trove transaction

Rate limited. Unauthenticated callers share a per-IP budget; send an x-api-key header to lift it. Retry with exponential backoff.

An upstream data source or protocol origin failed (error.code is ORIGIN_FAILED). error.details carries the per-origin status. This is also what a missing or malformed required parameter currently returns, rather than a 400.
