Liquidation Waterfalls

RabbitX utilises a 3-step waterfall structure to process liquidations.

Waterfall #1

When an account's equity falls below the maintenance margin requirement, it will undergo partial liquidation until the account is back above the maintenance margin requirement. While in liquidation, users will not be able to place new orders, cancel orders, or withdraw funds. When the account's equity is back above the maintenance margin requirement, it will no longer be in liquidation.

Waterfall #2

If an account's equity falls below the liquidation margin, the account will be fully liquidated at the zero-price. A portion of the remaining collateral (if any) will go to the Insurance Fund. If RabbitX is unable to liquidate the position at a price better than the zero-price, the losses will be taken by the Insurance Fund.

Waterfall #3

If RabbitX Insurance Fund equity falls below zero, then opposing positions will be auto-deleveraged at the Insurance Fund zero-price. Auto-deleveraging is the final step taken only when the Insurance Fund equity falls below zero. RabbitX takes every possible step to avoid auto-deleveraging and has implemented an algorithm to minimise the impact of auto-deleveraging when it does occur.

Zero-price is the price of the position that sets the account equity to zero.

Refer to our Index Price section for more details.

Notes: 1. While RabbitX aims to reduce the likelihood of auto-deleveraging to a minimum, it is still possible. 2. The estimated liquidation price is only an estimate. When an account gets liquidated will depend on multiple factors, including the fair price, the performance of all the contracts, the currency your collateral is in, among other factors. 3. US residents are restricted from using RabbitX. 4. None of this is investment advice.
