Liquidation Penalty Allocation

Mechanism

Liquidation Penalty Allocation defines the specific protocol-level distribution of collateral assets reclaimed from a trader following a forced position closure. When a margin-based position falls below the maintenance threshold, the system triggers this automated distribution to cover deficit-related costs and systemic risk. By directing a portion of the liquidated collateral into the platform insurance fund, the protocol protects against cascading liquidations and insolvency events. This process ensures the structural integrity of the order book during periods of extreme market volatility.
