Penalty Strength Control

Mechanism

Penalty strength control functions as a programmatic governance tool designed to modulate the financial repercussions applied to market participants who fail to meet margin maintenance obligations. By dynamically scaling the severity of penalties based on prevailing market volatility and account health, the protocol ensures that capital preservation remains prioritized during periods of high liquidity stress. This system effectively discourages excessive risk-taking behavior by increasing the cost of liquidation scenarios as market conditions deteriorate.
