One bad candle? Here's what Percolator's liquidation code actually does next. Equity is your collateral plus PnL, marked at the engine's price, which follows the oracle in capped steps. Profit only counts as far as the engine can prove it's backed. The maintenance requirement is a margin rate on... the position's notional. If the oracle has already moved further against you than the engine price has, that gap is added on top. Once equity is strictly below the requirement, the account can be liquidated. Anyone can do it. Liquidation runs inside a permissionless crank: no keeper whitelist, and the caller doesn't need an account or collateral on Percolator. The caller doesn't choose the size either. The engine settles losses against collateral, then binary searches for the smallest close it projects will put the account back above maintenance, after the liquidation fee. If no partial close gets there, or the account is already underwater, that position closes in full. The video shows the partial case. Every liquidation has to leave the account measurably less risky. If it doesn't, the whole instruction reverts. There's no ADL queue. The closed size isn't dumped into a book. Open interest on the other side shrinks to match, and every position on that side is cut by the same ratio. Nobody gets singled out. If losses run past the account's collateral, that market's insurance budget covers what it can. Anything left is shared pro rata across the other side of the same market, by position size.show more

Strategy backtesting is live on OpenMarket. Free, for everyone. Most backtesters simulate a market that doesn't exist: no funding, no liquidations, fills at exactly the price you hoped for. Ours simulates the market you actually trade. Trade perps? Declare instrument="perps" and the engine runs real isolated-margin math: it tracks your liquidation price from your leverage and maintenance margin, and if a bar gaps through the level, you're filled at the worse price. Like live. Funding isn't a checkbox. funding="data" settles the recorded funding rates from your venue against your position, so the liquidation line creeps closer while you hold, and your funding bill shows up as a line item in the results. Fees split maker/taker the way your venue routes them, and slippage can walk the recorded order book level by level, so size costs what size costs. And when a stop and a target land in the same candle, we resolve it with finer recorded data, down to 1m. When we can't, we assume the worst and count the guess. Every run reports its own precision: your backtest tells you when it guessed. A strategy is 15 lines of kScript, templates included, and it runs on any market on your chart: your Hyperliquid setup with real funding data, your Binance perp, your spot pairs.

blurr explains how papertrade uses $Paper to bootstrap liquidity with trader losses “On a perp, whenever you take a long, someone on the other side is taking a short. That’s just how they operate. In a casino, when you’re betting, you’re betting against the house, which is owned by whoever owns the casino. That means you need somebody else on the other side to take that risk on. “If you go to a casino, oftentimes they’ll have a max bet that you can’t break. The casino has to run Kelly on its bankroll, and that is a problem because the cold start for this kind of thing is much higher than it otherwise needs to be." "But with tokens, you can effectively sell the upside in the bankroll by getting people to gamble into it” “If people assume or think that I will be profitable in the long run, they’re encouraged to sort of lose money into it to buy the equity in the system.”

Supply USDC to the Tori Ecosystem vault on Morpho 🦋, curated by RockawayX. You stay in USDC. What you earn: A competitive lending rate, paid in USDC, and a 10x Cores boost on every dollar supplied. What you hold: USDC, not trUSD or strUSD, and none of the strategy. Your USDC is lent against them, so your return is interest on overcollateralized positions. Every position is smaller than the collateral behind it and is repaid first when one is liquidated. How far collateral falls before a lender takes a loss: 5.5% on PT-trUSD, which is vanilla trUSD exposure, and 14% on strUSD and its PT, less the liquidation fee. strUSD carries $4M of first-loss capital behind that, around 8.8% of staked trUSD today.

"The Achilles heel of any DeFi protocol is the oracle. It lives and dies by its oracle" Niklas Kunkel, CEO of Chronicle Labs, on why oracles are the single point of failure in DeFi "If an oracle prints that ETH is a trillion dollars, anyone can just go and drain all of the liquidity out of any lending market, out of any credit protocol. Similarly, if the oracle reports ETH is zero, you can liquidate all of the ETH positions in a lending protocol" "If you're looking at the likes of Aave and Sky, you could potentially trigger a liquidation cascade on ETH, that has far more second order effects than just the onchain liquidations"

I GAVE MY GROK BOT $1,480 AND ONE RULE: NEVER GET CLOSE TO LIQUIDATION $1,480 → $9,260. One day. Highest leverage it touched was 6x. Every perps blowup I've seen looks the same. Liquidation price right under the entry, one normal wick, account gone. So my bot doesnt predict anything. It trades five coins at 4-6x, only in the direction the day is already moving, and closes at a take-profit set before the entry. - Never trades against the day's trend - Exit is set before the entry - 4-6x max, no "just this once" - Five big exits made a bit over half the profit - Around 30 small closes made the rest The math is almost boring. SUI moved 17.7% on the day, at 4x that's 70.8% on the margin. No moonshot, just a normal day times four. What I actually watched was the risk rail. Liquidation on the left, target on the right, a dot crawling between them. The red zone never got anywhere near the dot. BTC was the one I kept staring at. Smallest move, highest leverage, tightest buffer of the five. It still closed green, and when the last card flew off the stack the red zone was still sitting on the far left.

Someone is about to get destroyed by $BTC A trader opened a $14.6M $BTC long position using 40x leverage Entry: $72,637 Current price: $71,572 Liquidation: $71,238 That means BTC only needs to drop $334 more to wipe the entire position. The trader already sits at -$214K unrealized loss and the account is down $680K over the last 30 days. One small wick on BTC and $367K of margin disappears instantly. This is the kind of leverage that turns a normal BTC move into a full liquidation event.

Bullseye is leverage on a fixed yield, in one deposit. You put in $10,000. The vault buys PT, posts it as collateral, borrows against it, buys more PT, and loops until it hits your target. Now you control ~$30,000 of PT earning 4.8%, paying interest only on what you borrowed. Net ~$1,040 on $10,000. That's 8–12% depending on leverage and rates; ~10% is the midpoint. PT is calm collateral, it trends toward face value as it matures, so the loop rarely has to move. And the vault deleverages itself before liquidation, not after. The yield is variable. It moves with the borrow rate. This is leverage, know what you're holding. Fletch. Split it. Basket it. Bullseye it.

If you’re not using Fair Value Gaps, you’re leaving clean entries on the table. An FVG is formed by three candles. Candle 1. Candle 2 (the displacement). Candle 3. Between the wick of candle 1 and the wick of candle 3, price only delivered in one direction. That imbalance is the Fair Value Gap. The market treats it like a scale. When only one side is delivered, the scale is unbalanced. Price is drawn back into the gap to restore efficiency. Watch what happens next. Price moves higher, but the imbalance remains below. It gets pulled back into the gap like a magnet. In a bullish context, the ideal fill leaves part of the gap open. The midpoint of that gap (consequent encroachment) often becomes the precise level that holds. Multiple taps that refuse to close below it create a higher-quality “Level 2” FVG. How to trade it: Pair the FVG with one other PD array. In this case, the three down-close candles before the gap form a bullish order block. Limit order at the high of the FVG, inside the order block. Target sits at the equal highs above. Price returns, tags the entry, and expands straight into the liquidity. Clean. Mechanical. High probability. Study the structure, not the noise.

If you never sell your Bitcoin, how will you ever use the wealth you accumulated? The answer is borrowing against your Bitcoin As long as you ensure that your collateral never gets liquidated, you can take on bigger and bigger loans against the same Bitcoin FOREVER

USH, the first native stablecoin on MultiversX, easily explained. TL;DR - USH is an overcollateralized stablecoin (similar in a sense to DAI) built by Hatom Labs (Hatom Labs), natively on the MultiversX blockchain. #USHto1 🔊 Hatom (HTM) is a leading DeFi platform offering 💧 $EGLD and $TAO liquid staking (sEGLD & sTAO) 💱 A Money Market (lending & borrowing) 💵 And, now, USH. --- TIMESTAMPS Introduction - 0:00:09 Exploring Hatom - 0:00:25 USH Isolated Pools Explained - 0:01:00 USH IP Liquidation Explained - 0:01:38 USH Arbitrage Opportunities Explained - 0:03:04 What Else Can You Do With USH - 0:04:29 Open EGLD Long Positions - 0:04:35 Buy Things With USH - 0:05:05 Provide Liquidity to USH-Related Pools - 0:05:20 Conclusion - 0:05:45 --- ## USH Staking Hub and the Isolated Pools The isolated pools are the core and heart of USH minting. So, how do the isolated pools work? Here's an example, supplying $1,000 worth of EGLD as collateral. As an overcollateralized stablecoin, the pool will always require a higher collateral deposit than the maximum possible minting amount. For EGLD, users can only mint 70% of the collateral deposit. Thus, for a $1,000 worth of EGLD deposited to the isolated pool, you could mint a maximum of $700 in USH. This, however, is super risky, and would set your minting limit to 100%. This is risky because if EGLD drops in value against the dollar, for example making your collateral worth $900, your position would be eligible for liquidation, crossing the 100% limit. In an oversimplification of the liquidation mechanism, a liquidator could repay 50% of your USH loan and take 50% plus an 8% penalty of your deposited collateral. In this example, the liquidated user would end with a position of $522 worth of EGLD as collateral. And a debt of $350 in minted USH. His minting limit would now be 95%, temporarily preventing another liquidation. It's worth noting that the liquidation wouldn't affect the USH you are securely holding in your wallet (like xPortal). Just your USH minting debt with the Hatom Protocol. Another user playing safer could, for example, mint only 50% of the available seven hundred dollars for a $1,000 deposit, minting $350 worth of USH. This would have avoided liquidation for the same price drop as before, as the mint limit would increase to 55%, still far from the 100% limit that makes an account eligible for liquidation. These mechanics guarantee that 1 USH is always redeemable for 1 dollar worth of assets in the protocol, opening doors for price arbitrage. **this is an oversimplification of the liquidation mechanism. DYOR! --- ## USH Arbitrage Opportunity (1 USH = 1 USD) Once one USH is always equal to one dollar at a protocol level, traders can arbitrage the USH value in different markets, making sure it will always get back to one dollar. Let's say 1 USH is now equal $1.10 worth of EGLD in xExchange ⚡. Then, users can use the mint function to benefit from this arbitrage opportunity. Depositing EGLD as collateral in the isolated pool. After that, the user can mint USH to sell for EGLD with a premium in the xExchange LP, using this EGLD to replace the deposited collateral, or deposit more to mint more USH and continue selling with a premium until the price is back to one dollar, profiting on the difference (around 10%). The opposite is also true when, for example, 1 USH is worth $0.90 in EGLD. This arbitrage opportunity will appear when repaying USH to get EGLD back. In this case, the user can buy USH with EGLD from the xExchange liquidity pool and use these tokens to repay part of his USH position in the Hatom's isolated pool, withdrawing part of the EGLD collateral. Similar to the other operation, the user can now use this EGLD to buy more USH with a discount on the market and continue the process until the arbitrage opportunity remains, also profiting from it. **this is an oversimplification of the arbitrage mechanism. DYOR! --- ## What Can You Do With USH? Now, besides the arbitrage, here are some other ideas on things you can with USH. ### BUY MORE EGLD First, you can enjoy the 0% interest rate to open long positions on EGLD or other MultiversX tokens. For that, you can deposit EGLD or TAO to the isolated pools, mint USH, and use these dollars to buy, for example, more EGLD. If the price goes up, you can then close the position by selling EGLD for USH, repaying the isolated pool, and withdrawing the EGLD back. ### BUY THINGS WITH USH Another idea is simply using the minted USH to buy things in the MultiversX ecosystem or also in the real world. This can be an interesting idea if you don't want to sell your EGLD, for example, depositing the tokens as collateral and minting USH to use as payment. While the first idea increases the buying pressure, this one can diminish the EGLD selling pressure. Both being beneficial to MultiversX. ### PROVIDE LIQUIDITY Last but not least important, you can use the minted USH to provide liquidity in many DeFi platforms, like the USH EGLD liquidity pool on the xEchange, or the USH USCD USDT LP on AshSwap 🔥. There will be other liquidity pools and farms that users will be able to stake USH and provide liquidity to the ecosystem. --- If you enjoyed the content, make sure you share it!

Let's say 1 USH is now equal $1.10 worth of EGLD in xExchange ⚡. Then, users can use the mint function to benefit from this arbitrage opportunity. Depositing EGLD as collateral in the isolated pool. After that, the user can mint USH to sell for EGLD with a premium in the xExchange LP, using this EGLD to replace the deposited collateral, or deposit more to mint more USH and continue selling with a premium until the price is back to one dollar, profiting on the difference (around 10%). The opposite is also true when, for example, 1 USH is worth $0.90 in EGLD. This arbitrage opportunity will appear when repaying USH to get EGLD back. In this case, the user can buy USH with EGLD from the xExchange liquidity pool and use these tokens to repay part of his USH position in the Hatom's isolated pool, withdrawing part of the EGLD collateral. Similar to the other operation, the user can now use this EGLD to buy more USH with a discount on the market and continue the process until the arbitrage opportunity remains, also profiting from it. this is an oversimplification of the arbitrage mechanism. DYOR! --- ## What Can You Do With USH? Now, besides the arbitrage, here are some other ideas on things you can with USH. ### BUY MORE EGLD First, you can enjoy the 0% interest rate to open long positions on EGLD or other MultiversX tokens. For that, you can deposit EGLD or TAO to the isolated pools, mint USH, and use these dollars to buy, for example, more EGLD. If the price goes up, you can then close the position by selling EGLD for USH, repaying the isolated pool, and withdrawing the EGLD back. ### BUY THINGS WITH USH Another idea is simply using the minted USH to buy things in the MultiversX ecosystem or also in the real world. This can be an interesting idea if you don't want to sell your EGLD, for example, depositing the tokens as collateral and minting USH to use as payment. While the first idea increases the buying pressure, this one can diminish the EGLD selling pressure. Both being beneficial to MultiversX. ### PROVIDE LIQUIDITY Last but not least important, you can use the minted USH to provide liquidity in many DeFi platforms, like the USH EGLD liquidity pool on the xEchange, or the USH USCD USDT LP on AshSwap 🔥. There will be other liquidity pools and farms that users will be able to stake USH and provide liquidity to the ecosystem. --- If you enjoyed the content, make sure you share it!

$Everyone who chased $TAO at 276 is now watching it in the red and wondering if the move is over. It is not. It is doing the one thing a real breakout is supposed to do. Price ran to 276, then pulled back into 252. That is not weakness. That is the retest. The level that has to hold: 252 That is the 0.382 of this whole leg, and price is sitting right on it. Hold this zone on daily closes and the pullback is just the trend catching its breath. The line under it that still keeps bulls in control: 238 The 0.618 golden pocket. As long as dips get bought between here and there, the higher low structure stays intact and the uptrend is fine. Where it goes if the retest holds: 276, then open air Reclaim the highs and the last overhead from spring is the only thing left in the way. What actually breaks it: 238 A daily close back below it fills the gap toward 214 and turns the whole breakout into a fake. That is the invalidation. Not a red candle. A close under the pocket. Here is the part most people miss. RSI cooled from overbought to the low 60s while price only gave back a fraction of the move. Momentum reset without the trend breaking. That is the healthiest thing a chart can do after a vertical leg. The breakout was the easy part to post. The retest is the part that decides who was actually right.$

Ripple Prime’s CEO, Mike Higgins, confirms that $XRP will be utilized as collateral alongside #Bitcoin in institutional finance. "Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana tokenizing anything of value as collateral for margin and settlement is the next step." This evolution into cross-margining demonstrates the growing utility of the #XRPL, allowing assets to work as high-grade collateral without the need for liquidation.

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."
