Resupply Liquidation System

The liquidation system protects the protocol from bad debt by allowing third parties to liquidate undercollateralized positions. Located in /src/protocol/LiquidationHandler.sol and pair contracts.

Liquidation Mechanics

When Positions Become Liquidatable

A position becomes liquidatable when the borrow value exceeds the allowed LTV:

solidity

function _isSolvent(address _borrower) internal view returns (bool) {
    uint256 collateralValue = getCollateralValue(_borrower);
    uint256 borrowValue = getBorrowValue(_borrower);

    // Liquidatable when: borrowValue > collateralValue * maxLTV / LTV_PRECISION
    return borrowValue * LTV_PRECISION <= collateralValue * maxLTV;
}

Example with 95% maxLTV:

•Collateral value: 1000 reUSD
•Max borrow: 950 reUSD (95%)
•If debt grows to 960 reUSD → position is liquidatable

Pair-Level Liquidation

The basic liquidation function in ResupplyPair:

solidity

function liquidate(address _borrower) external returns (uint256 collateralForLiquidator) {
    require(!_isSolvent(_borrower), "Position is healthy");

    // Get borrower's debt
    uint256 borrowShares = userBorrowShares[_borrower];
    uint256 borrowAmount = (borrowShares * totalBorrowAmount) / totalBorrowShares;

    // Calculate collateral to seize (includes liquidation fee)
    uint256 collateralSeized = _calculateCollateralSeized(borrowAmount);

    // Clear borrower's position
    userBorrowShares[_borrower] = 0;
    totalBorrowShares -= borrowShares;
    totalBorrowAmount -= borrowAmount;

    userCollateralBalance[_borrower] -= collateralSeized;
    totalCollateral -= collateralSeized;

    // Transfer collateral to liquidator
    IERC20(collateralContract).safeTransfer(msg.sender, collateralForLiquidator);

    // Liquidator must repay the debt
    IStablecoin(asset).burn(msg.sender, borrowAmount);
}

Collateral Calculation

Liquidators receive collateral worth more than the debt they repay:

solidity

function _calculateCollateralSeized(uint256 borrowAmount) internal view returns (uint256) {
    uint256 collateralPrice = oracle.getPrice(collateralContract);

    // Base collateral needed
    uint256 baseCollateral = (borrowAmount * EXCHANGE_PRECISION) / collateralPrice;

    // Add liquidation fee (e.g., 5%)
    uint256 withFee = baseCollateral + (baseCollateral * liquidationFee / LTV_PRECISION);

    return withFee;
}

LiquidationHandler Contract

The centralized liquidation handler (/src/protocol/LiquidationHandler.sol) provides advanced liquidation features:

solidity

contract LiquidationHandler {
    uint256 public collateralIncentive;  // Default: 25e18 (reward for liquidators)

    // Process liquidation with incentive
    function liquidate(
        address _pair,
        address _borrower
    ) external returns (uint256 collateralReceived);

    // Handle bad debt scenarios
    function handleBadDebt(
        address _pair,
        address _borrower,
        uint256 _badDebtAmount
    ) external;
}

Liquidation Flow

•Check solvency: Verify position is underwater
•Calculate amounts: Determine debt and collateral to seize
•Seize collateral: Transfer to liquidator with incentive
•Repay debt: Liquidator burns reUSD
•Handle remainder: Bad debt goes to insurance pool if any

Bad Debt Handling

When collateral is insufficient to cover debt:

solidity

function handleBadDebt(address _pair, address _borrower, uint256 _badDebtAmount) external {
    // Route bad debt to insurance pool
    IInsurancePool(insurancePool).coverBadDebt(_badDebtAmount);

    // Clear remaining position
    IResupplyPair(_pair).clearBadDebtPosition(_borrower);
}

Insurance pool coverage:

solidity

function coverBadDebt(uint256 amount) external {
    // Burn reUSD from insurance pool reserves
    // Or mark as protocol loss if insufficient reserves
    if (totalAssets() >= amount) {
        IStablecoin(asset).burn(address(this), amount);
    } else {
        protocolLoss += amount - totalAssets();
    }
}

Liquidation Parameters

Key configuration values:

Parameter	Typical Value	Description
`maxLTV`	95_000 (95%)	Maximum loan-to-value before liquidation
`liquidationFee`	5_000 (5%)	Bonus collateral for liquidators
`collateralIncentive`	25e18	Fixed incentive amount

Partial vs Full Liquidation

Resupply uses full liquidation - the entire position is liquidated when underwater:

solidity

// Full position liquidation
uint256 borrowShares = userBorrowShares[_borrower];  // All shares
userBorrowShares[_borrower] = 0;                      // Clear completely

This simplifies accounting and ensures positions are fully cleared.

Liquidator Requirements

To liquidate a position:

•Hold sufficient reUSD: Must repay the borrower's full debt
•Call liquidate(): On either pair or LiquidationHandler
•Receive collateral: Get collateral + liquidation fee

solidity

// Liquidator flow
IERC20(reUSD).approve(pair, borrowAmount);
uint256 collateralReceived = IResupplyPair(pair).liquidate(borrower);
// collateralReceived > borrowAmount value due to liquidation fee

Oracle Dependency

Liquidations depend on accurate price feeds:

solidity

// BasicVaultOracle returns ERC4626 share price
function getPrice(address vault) external view returns (uint256) {
    return IERC4626(vault).convertToAssets(1e18);
}

Risk consideration: Oracle manipulation could enable unfair liquidations or prevent legitimate ones.

Events

Monitor liquidation activity:

solidity

event Liquidate(
    address indexed borrower,
    address indexed liquidator,
    uint256 debtRepaid,
    uint256 collateralSeized
);

event BadDebt(
    address indexed pair,
    address indexed borrower,
    uint256 badDebtAmount
);
