# Liquidation

### Introduction to Adequancy Ratio

***Adequacy Ratio*** is the liquidation point on Liqee.

Allowing your debt position to fall below the minimum ***Adequacy Ratio*** will result in part of your collateral being liquidated with a discount, which will help lenders against financial loss.

### How do you deal with loan default?

Borrowers need to lock up supported assets in a smart contract as collateral to support your crypto loan. If the loan failed to satisfy the ***Adequacy Ratio*** and there was no top-of of collateral or timely repayment, part of your collateralized asset will be auctioned to repay your loan. 

Please note a liquidation penalty will be charged to ensure timely payback (as a bonus to liquidators). So, we strongly recommend you to exercise caution and carefully monitor your debit position to avoid liquidation, by refinancing or terminating your loans in time.

### How much is the liquidation bonus?

On Liqee, liquidation bonus is 10% for all assets supported. 

### How to participate in liquidation?

Liquidation on Liqee is open to everyone who repays defaulted loans for borrowers and receive a nice bonus for doing so, which helps to keep the system solvent and robust. 

You can liquidate **up to 50%** of selected collateralized asset for a defaulted loan in a single liquidation transaction.
