Once it's live, you can check and close any position from here.

How to liquidate

  1. 01Find a loan below 125%. Call isLiquidatable to confirm.
  2. 02Hold the stock they owe, and approve the pool to take it.
  3. 03Call liquidate. You pay their stock debt and receive their ETH plus 7%.

Simulate before you send. Someone else may have taken it in the block before yours.

When it's blocked

  • Market closed. No price, no liquidation.
  • Stale feed. Over 30h old and the contract refuses.
  • Grace period. 30 minutes after a reopen, so borrowers can top up before bots take everything.

The protocol's cut

Zero. The whole 7% goes to whoever does the work. The point is to get bad loans closed quickly, not to earn from them.
