Liquidation Fee Allocation
Liquidation fee allocation refers to how the fees collected from liquidated positions are distributed among the protocol's stakeholders. Typically, a portion goes to the liquidator as an incentive for their work, and the remainder may go to the insurance fund or token holders.
This allocation is a critical economic design choice that impacts the behavior of market participants. If the fee for liquidators is too low, liquidations may be delayed, increasing the risk of bad debt.
If it is too high, it may incentivize predatory behavior or unnecessary liquidations. Proper allocation ensures that there is always enough incentive for participants to maintain the protocol's health, even in difficult market conditions.
