Morpho Liquidation

Overview

As stated in the liquidation section: the liquidation process in Morpho (formerly known as Morpho Blue) can be triggered when an account becomes unhealthy, which occurs when its Loan-to-Value (LTV) exceeds the Liquidation Loan-to-Value (LLTV) of a market. In this scenario, liquidators can liquidate up to 100% of the account's debt and receive a corresponding value in collateral, along with a Liquidation Incentive (LI).

Unlike most lending platforms, Morpho has a unique mechanism to realize bad debt when it is incurred. In cases where liquidation leaves an account with remaining debt and no collateral, the loss is proportionally distributed among all lenders, keeping the market fully operational.

Use Case

Liquidation in Morpho serves several critical functions:

  • Risk Management: It helps manage the risk of default by enabling the recovery of assets from unhealthy accounts.
  • Market Stability: Addressing bad debt effectively ensures the market's healthiness in the long run.
  • Incentive for Liquidators: The LI incentivizes liquidators to participate in the liquidation process, thereby maintaining the health and liquidity of the market.

Creating a bot

There are some liquidation bots created by contributors in the community, you can find it in the community section.

Examples

A naive example of a liquidation contract is displayed below, using solidity and fully available in the Morpho Snippets Repository

Swap

  1. ISwap interface: The ISwap interface represents a swap on any DEX or aggregator, such as 1Inch or Uniswap.
  2. Adapting Swap Function: Function swapCollatToLoan should align with the swap contract's functions.
  3. Consideration for Fees and Slippage: Be mindful of fees and slippage in the swap process.
