Collateral & Liquidations

Liquidations

A critical process triggered when a borrower's health factor falls below 100%. This may happen when the collateral value decreases, or the borrowed debt increases relative to each other.

Simple terms

Health Factor = Sum(Debt AssetQty * Price)/ Sum (Collateral Asset Qty * Price * Liquidation Loan to Value)) 

In the main market, this requires a sumproduct operation across the range of all oustandging borrowed assets

In isolated markets the range is less

Liquidations are triggered by Oracle price feeds and managed by liquidator bots (both internal and third-party). A liquidation penalty is applied to the value of the collateral during liquidation, incentivizing liquidators.


Collateral Types and Selection

Solera supports three types of collateral, each with different protocol capabilities. Each asset is classified according to the asset risk assessment framework.

  1. Main Market Collateral: ERC-20 and OFT tokens with high liquidity.

  2. Isolated Market Collateral: Assets that may not meet the criteria for the main market but are supported via isolated markets with stricter borrowing limits.

  3. RWA Collateral: Real-world assets (e.g., US Treasuries) that require special considerations due to liquidity constraints and non-immediate redemption.

RWA Integration: Liquid RWAs are onboarded directly or via strategies integrated with CDP-backed stablecoins. Over time, Solera will develop new lending primitives to better support RWA lending.

Each new token introduced as collateral increases protocol complexity and solvency risk. Only assets with strong risk profiles should be supported as collateral.

Main Market Liquidations

Solera's main lending market is designed after Aave, where a users health factor indicates when a position is eligible to be closed, close factor indicates how much collateral can be seized by liquidators to earn the liquidation incentive.

Isolated Market Liquidations

RWA Liquidation Flow

For select assets dedicated liquidation and redemption agents perform liquidatiuons and redeem the underlying collateral at a future point off chain, much different than a regular lending market liquidaiton using a flash laon + swap. In
