Design and Principle of the Liquidation
The design and principle of the Liquidation process on Larix
Product logic of Larix
Flowchart of User deposits, collateral and borrow limit:
If the collateral button of an asset is not switched on, then it won’t be liquidated.
Parameters:
- Collateral factor: The maximum amount users can borrow is limited by the collateral factors of the assets they have supplied.
- Liquidation line: The max debt ratio that an account can achieve before liquidation. It is designed to protect user assets from small price fluctuations.
- L-Token: Deposit proof
- Liquidation Reward: The reward for liquidation Initiator is 8% of the total liquidated value. It might change in the range of between 6% to 10% due to the price fluctuation of tokens.
Role play：
Several possible reasons leading to liquidation:
The floating value of collateral changes:
- Withdrawing part of collateral increases debt ratio
- The price of collateralized token decreases
The floating value of borrowings changes:
- The interest of loans continuously increases.
- The price of borrowed assets increases
Liquidation process:
1. Liquidate instruction
1.1 - Repay the borrowed assets for the liquidated account:
- Only one type of asset can be liquidated each time.
- The ‘asset to repay’ and ‘asset to seize’ can be selected by the liquidator.
- The liquidation limit amount is half that of total borrowed value of the selected token.
- Liquidated_amount < 0.5 * total_borrowed_value_of_chosen_token
- Liquidated_value * 1.08 < The_value_of_asset_to_seize
1.2 - Seize the mortgaged assets:
- Only one type of asset can be seized each time.
- The_value_asset_to_seize > 1.08 * Liquidated_value
2. Convert the seized asset
- Since the seized asset is L-Token, it can be converted back to the corresponding asset.
- The converting function is automatically completed by Larix front-end.
Tips:
During an extreme market event with high volatile token prices that fluctuate greatly, there will be
- more clearable accounts on the platform.
- clearable amounts will be relatively larger
- an increase in the liquidation rewards
Therefore, it will attract more robots for arbitrage and the liquidations will become more timely.
