Risk-off Liquidations

The below chart shows the user positions of all risk-off liquidations that would occur due to the CF decreases.

Analysis

Risk-off Liquidations

No liquidations would occur due to the CF decreases.

Relevant Users with Low Health Factors

When determining what user positions will be most affected by the recommended Collateral Factor decreases, we assess the following:

  1. Size of the position
  2. Health Factor of the position
  3. How much the position’s Health Factor will change due to the Collateral Factor changes

1) Size of the position

We only include positions that have > $5k borrows.

2) Health Factor of the position

We only include positions whose Health Factors are less than 1.17 (Borrow Usage greater than 85%) after the Collateral Factor decreases.

3) How much the position’s Health Factor will change due to the Collateral Factor changes

We only show accounts that become > 5% closer to becoming liquidatable due to the Collateral Factor decreases. For example, a user may have a position with a Health Factor of 1.1, with 99% of their supply in ETH and 1% in COMP. In this case, leaving ETH Collateral Factor unchanged and decreasing COMP CF by 5% will not significantly impact this user’s Health Factor. As a result, we will not show these types of positions.

The below figure shows the top 4 highest borrowing user positions whose Health Factors are less than 1.17 (Borrow Usage greater than 85%) and become > 5% closer to becoming liquidatable after the Collateral Factor decreases.

The table below shows all positions > $5k borrows whose Health Factors are less than 1.17 (Borrow Usage greater than 85%) and become > 5% closer to becoming liquidatable after the Collateral Factor decreases.

We will continue to rerun these liquidation analyses and update the community if the Collateral Factor decreases cause any risk-off liquidations and/or relevant Health Factor decreases.
