Collateral Ratio Thresholds
Collateral ratio thresholds are the mandatory levels of asset backing required to maintain a loan within a decentralized lending protocol. If the value of the collateral falls below this specific percentage of the debt, the position becomes eligible for liquidation.
These thresholds are determined by the volatility of the underlying assets, with more volatile assets requiring higher collateral ratios to ensure protocol safety. By setting these thresholds, the protocol ensures that it can always cover the borrowed debt even if the market experiences a sudden crash.
These parameters are often adjustable through governance to respond to changing market conditions and risk assessments.
