Ergodic optimal liquidations in DeFi
We address the liquidation problem arising from the credit risk management in decentralised finance (DeFi) by formulating it as an ergodic optimal control problem. In decentralised derivatives exchanges, liquidation is triggered whenever the parties fail to maintain sufficient collateral for their open positions. Consequently, effectively managing and liquidating disposal of positions accrued through liquidations is a critical concern for decentralised derivatives exchanges. By simplifying the model (linear temporary and permanent price impacts, simplified cash balance dynamics), we derive the closed-form solutions for the optimal liquidation strategies, which balance immediate executions with the temporary and permanent price impacts, and the optimal long-term average reward. Numerical simulations further highlight the effectiveness of the proposed optimal strategy and demonstrate that the simplified model closely approximates the original market environment. Finally, we provide the method for calibrating the parameters in the model from the available data.

Mitigating Decentralized Finance Liquidations with Reversible Call Options
Liquidations in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) are both a blessing and a curse -- whereas liquidations prevent lenders from capital loss, they simultaneously lead to liquidation spirals and system-wide failures. Since most…
A Repo Model of Fire Sales with VWAP and LOB Pricing Mechanisms
We consider a network of banks that optimally choose a strategy of asset liquidations and borrowing in order to cover short term obligations. The borrowing is done in the form of collateralized repurchase agreements, the…
Best Ergodic Averages via Optimal Graph Filters in Reversible Markov Chains
In this paper, we address the problem of finding the best ergodic or Birkhoff averages in the ergodic theorem to ensure rapid convergence to a desired value, using graph filters. Our approach begins by representing a fun…
Toxic Liquidation Spirals
On November 22nd 2022, the lending platform AAVE v2 (on Ethereum) incurred bad debt resulting from a major liquidation event involving a single user who had borrowed close to \$40M of CRV tokens using USDC as collateral.…
ManagementStableSims: Optimizing MakerDAO Liquidations 2.0 Incentives via Agent-Based Modeling
The StableSims project set out to determine optimal parameters for the new auction mechanism, Liquidations 2.0, used by MakerDAO, a protocol built on Ethereum offering a decentralized, collateralized stablecoin called Da…
