- Dutch auction mechanism: Fair price discovery for liquidation bonuses
Protection Mechanisms:
- Individual validation: Checks position count before single asset operations
- Bulk validation: Counts existing + new positions in transaction to prevent bulk circumvention
- Gas optimization: Prevents unliquidatable positions due to gas limits during liquidations
- Governance control: Configurable limits (default: 10 borrow + 10 supply per NFT)

Price Source Diversity:
- DEX Prices: 15-minute TWAP from xExchange and Onedx
- External APIs: Off-chain price feeds from aggregator with staleness validation
- Tolerance validation: Cross-source price deviation monitoring
- Fallback systems: Safe price mechanisms during oracle failures
Manipulation Resistance:
- Attack cost: TWAP manipulation requires sustained 15-minute capital commitment
- Detection speed: Real-time deviation monitoring with configurable thresholds
- Economic disincentives: Liquidators profit from correcting mispricings
- Staleness protection: Automatic rejection of feeds older than maximum age (300-900 seconds)
Failure Resilience:
- Graceful degradation: System continues with reduced functionality during partial failures
- Emergency modes: Safe price views maintain basic operations
- Recovery procedures: Automatic resumption when oracles restore
Purpose: Gas optimization for liquidations to prevent unliquidatable positions
Configuration: Governance-controlled limits (default: 10 borrow + 10 supply per NFT)
Bulk validation: Prevents circumvention through multi-asset transactions
Security benefit: Ensures all positions remain liquidatable within gas constraints
100% Withdrawal Allowance - Expert users can withdraw to health factor = 1.0
- Rationale: Maximum capital efficiency for sophisticated DeFi users
- Mitigation: UI caps regular users at 98% health factor for safety
- Risk: Immediate liquidation exposure from minor price movements
- Acceptable: Expert users understand and accept this risk profile
Position Limits - 10 borrow + 10 supply positions per NFT
- Purpose: Prevent gas exhaustion during liquidations
- Protection: Bulk validation prevents circumvention attempts
- Governance: Configurable limits can be adjusted as needed
Oracle Dependency - Multi-source price feeds required for operations
- Risk: Oracle failures could impact protocol operations
- Mitigation: Multi-source aggregation, TWAP protection, staleness checks
- Fallback: Safe price mechanisms maintain functionality during temporary failures
