Deployment Closure & Refunds

Test 2.1: Close Deployment - Price Unchanged - Remint Credits Sufficient

Objective: Verify closing deployment uses remint credits (no new AKT minted)

User Actions:

  1. Create new wallet, fund with 1000 AKT
  2. Record oracle price (P_initial)
  3. Create deployment with 500 AKT deposit
  4. Record RemintCredits after deposit
  5. Let deployment run briefly (1-2 settlement periods)
  6. Confirm oracle price is still ~P_initial
  7. Close deployment: 
    akash tx deployment close --owner <addr> --dseq <seq> --from <wallet>
  8. Query final state

Expected Results:

  • User receives AKT refund for unused portion
  • Refund amount = (Unused ACT) / P_current
  • Since price unchanged: AKT out ≈ AKT in (minus compute used)
  • RemintCredits decreased by refund amount
  • TotalMinted unchanged (no inflationary mint occurred)
  • VaultAKT decreased
  • OutstandingACT decreased

Critical Verification:

  • Check that TotalMinted did NOT increase
  • Confirm refund came from remint credits, not new minting

Test 2.2: Close Deployment - AKT Price Increased - Remint Credits Sufficient

Objective: Verify user receives fewer AKT back when price rose, using only remint credits

User Actions:

  1. Create new wallet, fund with 1000 AKT
  2. Record oracle price: P_initial = $1.00
  3. Create deployment with 500 AKT deposit (user gets 500 ACT worth of credits)
  4. Record RemintCredits (should be ~500 AKT)
  5. Let deployment run minimally (avoid significant compute charges)
  6. [Testnet Admin] Adjust oracle price to P_final = $2.00
  7. Close deployment
  8. Query final user AKT balance and BME state

Expected Results:

  • User deposited: 500 AKT at \(1.00 =\)500 worth
  • User had ~500 ACT credits (minus minimal usage, say 490 ACT remaining)
  • At withdrawal: 490 ACT / $2.00 = 245 AKT returned
  • User started with 1000 AKT, ends with ~745 AKT
  • RemintCredits decreased by 245 AKT (not 500 AKT)
  • 255 AKT remains in RemintCredits as surplus
  • TotalMinted unchanged (no inflation)

Critical Observations:

  • This confirms USD exposure, not AKT exposure
  • The “deflationary” effect: remint credits surplus remains in system

Test 2.3: Close Deployment - AKT Price Decreased - Remint Credits Insufficient (Inflationary Path)

Objective: Verify system mints new AKT when remint credits are insufficient

User Actions:

  1. Create new wallet, fund with 1000 AKT
  2. Record oracle price: P_initial = $1.00
  3. Create deployment with 500 AKT deposit
  4. Record:
    • RemintCredits (should be ~500 AKT)
    • TotalMinted (baseline)
    • Total AKT supply
  5. Let deployment run minimally
  6. [Testnet Admin] Adjust oracle price to P_final = $0.50
  7. Close deployment
  8. Query final state

Expected Results:

  • User deposited: 500 AKT at \(1.00 =\)500 worth
  • User had ~490 ACT remaining
  • At withdrawal: 490 ACT / $0.50 = 980 AKT needed
  • RemintCredits only has 500 AKT
  • Shortfall: 480 AKT must be newly minted
  • RemintCredits reduced to 0
  • TotalMinted increased by 480 AKT
  • Total AKT supply increased by 480 AKT
  • User receives full 980 AKT

Critical Verification:

  • Confirm TotalMinted increased (inflationary event)
  • Verify total AKT supply increased
  • This is the inflationary path we discussed earlier

Test 2.4: Close Deployment - Partial Remint Credit Usage

Objective: Verify system uses all available remint credits before minting

User Actions:

  1. Create scenario where RemintCredits = 300 AKT
  2. Create situation requiring 400 AKT payout
  3. Verify:
    • 300 AKT comes from remint credits
    • 100 AKT is newly minted
  4. Query ledger record for this transaction

Expected Results:

  • RemintCredits reduced by 300 (to 0)
  • TotalMinted increased by 100
  • Ledger record shows:
    • RemintCreditIssued: 300 AKT
    • Minted: 100 AKT
