Open a trove

POST 

/v1/actions/river/open

Open a trove on a River market: deposit collateral, mint satUSD.

River (rebranded Satoshi Protocol) is a Prisma-lineage pooled CDP minting satUSD behind one SatoshiXApp diamond per chain (BNB, Base, Hemi). One TroveManager per collateral = one RIVER_<chainId>_<TM_INDEX> market; troves are keyed by OWNER ADDRESS — at most one per user per market, no ids. Interest is protocol-set (currently 0%); the only borrowing cost is a one-off decaying-baseRate mint fee (0.5%–5%) on open/borrow-more, guarded by maxFeePercentage (quoted automatically).

Standard lending actions cover the day-to-day ops:

  • satUSD deposit/withdraw → the single per-chain Stability Pool (attached to market index 0; zero approvals)
  • collateral deposit/withdraw → addColl/withdrawColl (no troveId — address-keyed)
  • borrow → withdrawDebt (mint fee applies)
  • repay → repayDebt clamped to entireDebt − gasComp − minNetDebt; isAll=true routes to closeTrove (burns entireDebt − gasComp from the wallet, returns all collateral; blocked in Recovery Mode)

The 2-satUSD debt-side gas compensation is minted on open and burned from the GasPool on close — it never touches the wallet.

Validates the diamond-level minNetDebt and rejects paused/sunsetting markets; quotes the mint-fee guard live. Returns the transaction plus the collateral approval (to the diamond).

FieldTypeDescription
successTrue
dataobjectInformational data (quotes, simulation results, etc.)
actionsobjectTransaction calldata and approvals. Null for quote-only responses (no account provided).
actions.transactionsobject[]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[].tostringTarget contract address
actions.transactions[].datastringEncoded calldata
actions.transactions[].valuestringETH value to send with the transaction
actions.transactions[].descriptionstringHuman-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.alternativesobject[]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[].tostringTarget contract address
actions.alternatives[].datastringEncoded calldata
actions.alternatives[].valuestringETH value to send with the transaction
actions.alternatives[].descriptionstringHuman-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.permissionsobject[]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[].tostringTarget contract address
actions.permissions[].datastringEncoded calldata
actions.permissions[].valuestringETH value
actions.permissions[].descriptionstringHuman-readable description of the approval (e.g. "Approve borrow for AAVE_V3", "Approve ERC20")
actions.permissions[].spenderstringERC-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.
