Liquidation

When the total borrowed

exceeds the borrowable amount

(e.g. 50%) of the borrow balance

To incentivise third parties to liquidate other users’ under-collateralized loans, a liquidation bonus

A portion of the liquidation bonus is kept by the protocol as revenue, as determined by the liquidation fee
