At 14:07:18, the Health Factor in my liquidation replay moved below 1.0.
The position was officially liquidatable.
But settlement did not begin at that exact moment.
My simulated timeline showed:
Collateral selected: 0.2694
Reference price: $64,712.80
Indexer detection: +4.81s
Transaction broadcast: +11.54s
First confirmation: +19.36s
Vault entered escrow: +27.92s
Settlement handoff: +43.17s
During those 43.17 seconds, I applied another 0.68% price decline.
The selected collateral lost approximately $118.55 in value before the route reached settlement.
Every component behaved correctly.
The threshold triggered.
The unhealthy state was detected.
The liquidator submitted a valid transaction.
The vault reached escrow.
But the market continued moving between those correct actions.
That is the Liquidation Latency Budget:
The amount of price movement and economic loss a system must absorb between liquidation eligibility and actual execution.
The chain was simple:
HF < 1 → detection → transaction → confirmation → escrow → settlement exposure.
My Public Testnet feedback is not to promise instant liquidation.
It is to make the delay measurable.
The interface should show:
Time since HF crossed 1.0
Current execution stage
Pending transaction status
Price drift since detection
Estimated collateral exposure
Fallback if no liquidator responds
A liquidation threshold defines when action is permitted.
Execution liveness determines the price at which that action becomes real.
Would you judge liquidation safety only by the contract threshold, or by the complete time required to turn that threshold into settlement?
