According to Cas Abbé, crypto borrowers can repay their loans with accrued interest at any time to recover their collateral. However, if the collateral value drops below the Loan-to-Liquidation Value (LLTV) ratio, the system automatically liquidates the collateral to maintain vault solvency (source: @cas_abbe, June 9, 2025). This liquidation process is key for traders, as sharp price drops in collateralized assets can trigger forced selling, increasing market volatility and impacting token prices. Understanding LLTV thresholds is crucial for managing risk and optimizing leverage in DeFi lending protocols.
