A deep dive into DeFi liquidations
summary
Claims concrete fixes: gas-optimized multi-position liquidation batches many liquidations into one transaction to cut fees, partial early liquidations sell only a slice to avoid market shocks, and band-based soft liquidations (Llama) plus Fluid’s tick-grouping with bad-debt absorption reorganize collateral to reduce slippage. Aave-style per-position logic proves resilient in past flash crashes but fails when gas spikes make small liquidations uneconomic. Curve USD limits capital reuse by supporting isolated markets only. Off-chain price aggregation with signatures (peace network) speeds oracle updates during congestion.
