Slippage‑Aware Lending Market

A framework for setting LTVs and maintenance thresholds directly from actual market depth so positions can unwind without toxic slippage.

From execution cost to borrow limits

Define a target close size q (e.g., 3× average liquidation size). Compute slippage across AMM + CLOB depth, then set MaxLTV ≤ 1 − slippage(q).

Composite depth

Unify AMM virtual reserves with resting limit orders to estimate impact accurately.

Path‑aware

Route simulation considers multi‑hop paths when they materially lower impact.

Graceful degradation

During liquidity shocks, caps tighten automatically; when depth returns, limits reopen.

Liquidation that aims to not move the market

Auctions size lots to the best‑bid depth and use time‑sliced execution to minimize footprint. Keepers receive a yellow‑tagged rebate when they improve VWAP by ≥Δ.
