Liquidation

Automatic selling of collateral when a loan becomes undercollateralized.

What is Liquidation?

Liquidation occurs when your borrowed position's collateral falls below the required threshold. The protocol sells your collateral to repay the debt.

How to Avoid Liquidation

  • Monitor your health factor
  • Use less volatile collateral
  • Don't borrow near the maximum
  • Set up alerts for price movements

Liquidation Penalty

Most protocols charge a liquidation penalty (typically 5-15%) on top of repaying the debt.
