@TermMax I assumed liquidation on TermMax meant the same thing it means everywhere else I've used — cross the danger line, lose the whole position in one shot, no in-between.
That assumption fell apart once I read the actual formula. Liquidation triggers one of two ways: LTV meets or exceeds the market's LLTV threshold, or the borrower misses the fixed maturity repayment, which opens a two-hour liquidation window regardless of price. $ACE
Here's the number that reframed things. If outstanding debt exceeds $10,000, liquidators are capped at 50% of total debt value per event. The maximum liquidatable collateral is calculated as total collateral times liquidated debt, divided by total debt — a ratio built so LTV improves after every liquidation instead of collapsing to zero. Full liquidation only happens if debt drops to exactly zero, at which point remaining collateral auto-returns to the borrower.
The penalty is 10% of liquidated debt value, split exactly in half — 5% to the liquidator as reward, 5% to the protocol's reserve vault.
What the docs don't say is what share of real positions actually cross $10,000 in debt versus staying under that line, where the cap wouldn't even apply. $CLO
The real test for TMX is whether that 50% cap protects large borrowers meaningfully, or just turns one liquidation into two smaller ones back to back. $CYS
Anyone tracked partial-versus-full liquidation counts on TermMax so far?
