burn debt tokens
Overview
Previously, we established how much debt user was inclined repay and assigned its value to paybackAmount
. Now we are going to burn the corresponding debt tokens to reflect a repayment in debt.
Burn
Depending on which kind of debt the user has, stable or variable, the burn function will be called on the corresponding debt token contract.

Note:
InbalanceIncrease
> amount
, tokens are not actually minted. amountToMint
is simply a representation of the remaining interest accrued, less the nominal burn amount.
Essentially, each unit of scaled token represents itself and the interest it has accrued as dictated by the index. Therefore, to account for the interest, the nominal amount is divided by the index to obtain amountScaled
.
Index here refers to variableBorrowIndex
Note: the actual number of tokens being burnt is amountScaled
. This is because debt tokens accrue interest in the same way that ATokens do; against an index.
_burn
reduce total supply by burn amount
get user's balance decrement it by burn amount
apply incentives if defined (
