Liquidations Mining
Liquidation and ADL mining is a specialized, event-driven strategy that profits from market stress rather than avoiding it.
On XCCY, liquidations and Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) are transparent, rules-based, and on-chain, creating predictable opportunities for traders who are prepared to supply liquidity when others cannot.
Core Idea
When a position’s risk exceeds protocol limits, it must be reduced:
Liquidation: positions are force-closed by the market
ADL: positions are reduced automatically when the market cannot absorb risk
Both mechanisms generate:
discounted execution prices
additional fees
priority fills
Liquidation & ADL mining captures this value.
How Liquidations Work on XCCY
A position becomes liquidatable when:
collateral value drops
DV01 risk exceeds allowed thresholds
margin requirements are breached
Once triggered:
positions are closed via the vAMM or liquidity pool
liquidators receive execution priority and fees,
the protocol ensures solvency before speed
This process is deterministic, not discretionary.
How ADL Is Triggered
ADL is enforced when:
no sufficient bids or offers exist
market liquidity is temporarily impaired
closing via normal liquidation would cause excessive slippage
ADL reduces positions by:
prioritizing accounts with highest leverage
scaling down exposure rather than full closure
protecting system stability
Mining the Opportunity
Liquidation Mining
Traders:
monitor health factors and DV01 exposure
place standing bids/offers near liquidation bands
earn fees and favorable fills during forced unwinds
Key advantage:
execution occurs at stressed prices
fees are higher than normal trading
ADL Mining
During ADL events:
traders with excess margin absorb risk
positions are transferred at protocol-defined prices
no bidding wars or gas auctions
This rewards:
well-capitalized accounts
DV01-aware risk managers
passive liquidity providers
Tooling Advantage
Effective miners rely on:
real-time health monitoring
liquidation alerts
margin buffers across correlated assets
The XCCY Telegram Bot is designed to support this workflow.
Risk Considerations
extreme market moves can cascade
pricing may move faster than oracles update
poor sizing can lead to inventory risk
These strategies require discipline and excess capital.
Why This Is Sustainable
Unlike ad-hoc liquidations:
rules are public
incentives are aligned
losses are socialized minimally
Liquidation and ADL mining provide:
system stability
continuous liquidity
professional-grade risk recycling
When This Strategy Fits
advanced traders
market makers with spare balance sheet
funds specializing in distressed flow
Summary
Liquidation & ADL mining transforms market stress into:
structured opportunity
transparent execution
measurable risk
On XCCY, volatility is not just a threat — it is a market.
