Margin Engine Feedback Loops
Margin engine feedback loops occur when the software mechanisms responsible for maintaining solvency inadvertently accelerate market volatility. When a derivative position crosses a liquidation threshold, the engine automatically executes a market order to close the position.
If the market lacks sufficient depth, these large sell orders depress the asset price further, triggering more liquidations in other positions. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle of selling that can lead to rapid price decoupling.
These engines are designed to protect the protocol from insolvency, but they often prioritize individual protocol health over overall market stability.
