Liquidation

Liquidation Criteria

A user's position is subject to liquidation if their Account Value drops below the RequiredMaintenanceMargin. This process is vigilant, with Keepers tasked to continuously monitor positions against maintenance margin requirements. They utilize an eventTrigger mechanism to initiate liquidations, enhancing market stability.

$$isLiquidatable = \begin{cases} \text{requiredMM} + \text{liquidationFeeUsd} \geq \text{marginBalanceUsd} \\ \end{cases}$$

Note: requiredMM stands for the requiredMaintenanceMargin
