Borrowers in default are subject to (a surcharge), which is applied to any debt covered in liquidated and collected in collateral tokens. Liquidated damages are split between liquidators (typically 5.2%) as a liquidation incentive and the protocol (protocol liquidated damages, typically set at 2.8%).

Liquidated Damages Example
  • Liquidated Damages = 8%

  • Protocol Liquidated Damages = 2.8%

  • Liquidation Incentive = 8% - 2.8% = 5.2%

  • Repurchase Exposure covered in liquidation = 100,000 USDC

  • Markt price of (USDC) based on price oracle = $1.01

  • Market value of (ETH) based on price oracle = $1,800

Fair Value Liquidation = 56.111 ETH = 100,000 USDC * 1.01 USD/USDC / (1,800 USD/ ETH)

Liquidated Damages = 4.4889 ETH = 8% * 56.111 ETH

Liquidation Incentive = 2.9178 ETH = 5.2% * 56.111 ETH

Protocol Liquidated Damages = 1.571 ETH = 2.8% * 56.111 ETH

Total Collateral Liquidated = 60.6 ETH
