This proposal will grant Solend Labs emergency permission to temporarily take over Whale’s account so liquidation can be over-the-counter (OTC).
Previously, Solend founder Rooter urged one particular Whale to repay the loan as soon as possible to avoid liquidation risk. Solend has temporarily disabled borrowing from its main pool from $USDC, $USDT, and $SOL.
