Collateralization and Liquidation

iA Borrow is an over-collaterlized lending protocol. Each position collateral should be higher than the position's outstanding debt. A position Loan-to-Value (LTV) is defined as

LTVuser=Value(iAUSDuser)Value(iASOLuser)LTV_{user} = \frac{Value(iAUSD_{user})} {Value (iASOL_{user})}

If the LTV of a position reaches the LiquidationLTV{LiquidationLTV} ( the maximum LTV that is allowed for each position), the posiiton is liquidated to maintain the system's integrtity

In addition, the system has a WarningLTVWarningLTV (indicates that the user's position is close to the liquidation threshold). In the Warning state, it's possible to add more collateral to a position or pay back part of the debt to restore it to Safe state

The current implementation uses the following parameters

  • LiquidationLTV=66.6{LiquidationLTV} = 66.6%7%. This corresponds to an over-collateratiaion ratio of 150%

  • WarningLTV={WarningLTV} = %62.5%. This corresponds to an over-collateratiaion ratio of 160%

The iA borrow application allows creating positions with up to 60% LTV to ensure the position doesn't go immediately to the warning state with price volatility
