Health Factor
The health factor determines if a position can be liquidated:
Health Factor = Collateral Value × Liquidation Threshold Borrow Value \text{Health Factor} = \frac{\text{Collateral Value} \times \text{Liquidation Threshold}}{\text{Borrow Value}} Health Factor = Borrow Value Collateral Value × Liquidation Threshold
When Liquidation Occurs
A position becomes liquidatable when:
NFT floor price drops significantly
Accumulated interest pushes debt too high
Health factor falls below 1.0
Liquidation Process
Detection - Liquidator identifies position with HF < 1.0
Repayment - Liquidator repays borrower’s debt
Collateral Transfer - Liquidator receives NFT collateral
Bonus - Liquidator gets discount on collateral value
Avoiding Liquidation
Best practices to stay safe: - Monitor your health factor regularly - Keep
borrowing well below max LTV - Repay debt if prices drop - Add more collateral
if needed
