# State
## Parameters and genesis state
`Paramaters` define the rules according to which auctions are run. There is only one active parameter set at any given time. Updates to the parameter set can be made via on-chain parameter update proposals.
```go
// Params governance parameters for auction module
type Params struct {
MaxAuctionDuration time.Duration `json:"max_auction_duration" yaml:"max_auction_duration"` // max length of auction
MaxBidDuration time.Duration `json:"max_bid_duration" yaml:"max_bid_duration"` // additional time added to the auction end time after each bid, capped by the expiry.
}
```
`GenesisState` defines the state that must be persisted when the blockchain stops/restarts in order for normal function of the auction module to resume.
```go
// GenesisState - auction state that must be provided at genesis
type GenesisState struct {
NextAuctionID uint64 `json:"next_auction_id" yaml:"next_auction_id"` // auctionID that will be used for the next created auction
Params Params `json:"auction_params" yaml:"auction_params"` // auction params
Auctions Auctions `json:"genesis_auctions" yaml:"genesis_auctions"` // auctions currently in the store
}
```
## Base types
```go
// Auction is an interface to several types of auction.
type Auction interface {
GetID() uint64
WithID(uint64) Auction
GetEndTime() time.Time
}
// BaseAuction is a common type shared by all Auctions.
type BaseAuction struct {
ID uint64
Initiator string // Module name that starts the auction. Pays out Lot.
Lot sdk.Coin // Coins that will paid out by Initiator to the winning bidder.
Bidder sdk.AccAddress // Latest bidder. Receiver of Lot.
Bid sdk.Coin // Coins paid into the auction the bidder.
EndTime time.Time // Current auction closing time. Triggers at the end of the block with time ≥ EndTime.
MaxEndTime time.Time // Maximum closing time. Auctions can close before this but never after.
}
// SurplusAuction is a forward auction that burns what it receives from bids.
// It is normally used to sell off excess pegged asset acquired by the CDP system.
type SurplusAuction struct {
BaseAuction
}
// DebtAuction is a reverse auction that mints what it pays out.
// It is normally used to acquire pegged asset to cover the CDP system's debts that were not covered by selling collateral.
type DebtAuction struct {
BaseAuction
}
// WeightedAddresses is a type for storing some addresses and associated weights.
type WeightedAddresses struct {
Addresses []sdk.AccAddress
Weights []sdk.Int
}
// CollateralAuction is a two phase auction.
// Initially, in forward auction phase, bids can be placed up to a max bid.
// Then it switches to a reverse auction phase, where the initial amount up for auction is bid down.
// Unsold Lot is sent to LotReturns, being divided among the addresses by weight.
// Collateral auctions are normally used to sell off collateral seized from CDPs.
type CollateralAuction struct {
BaseAuction
MaxBid sdk.Coin
LotReturns WeightedAddresses
}
```
