Liquidators

What are Liquidators?

Anyone can be a liquidator and request the AMM to liquidate a given trader. The AMM then either rejects the request if the trader margin is above the initial margin, or proceeds.

The liquidator earns a fee that is subtracted from the trader margin. The liquidation fee is shared between the protocol and the liquidator.

How can you liquidate positions?

There are different ways to liquidate traders on D8X:
