The second phase of a major exchange's DeFi activity has become popular, and the rules are very simple—deposit at least 100USDT in a certain lending protocol to participate in a 400,000USDT prize pool Dividend.

Sounds good? Indeed, but the premise is not to be liquidated.

This is the real pit. Once the health index falls below 1, the system will automatically sell some of your collateral to repay the debt, and you will incur a 10% penalty. In other words, if you need to settle a debt of 1000, you will actually have to pay 1100 to get out.

How would I know? A blood and tears history. I borrowed BNB to participate in a certain TGE before, and as a result, I was caught up by the liquidation mechanism of a certain protocol, and a 5% penalty deducted more than 250 dollars. At that moment, I finally understood – the profits from farming are simply not enough to cover the penalties.

So, participating in such activities is fine, but don't let liquidation, this invisible killer, trip you up. Calculate the collateral ratio properly and leave enough buffer, that's the correct approach.

liquidation mechanics always separate the degens from smart money... seen this pattern repeat since the mt gox days, honestly. the 10% penalty isn't even the real killer—it's the cascading liquidations when sentiment shifts. not financial advice but, read between the lines on those health factors.

It's the same old trap again, sounds simple, but it's deadly to play. The liquidation mechanism is like an invisible knife for cutting losses, and if you're not careful, it can lead to a river of blood. I've fallen into that pit before, and I really don't want to experience that feeling again. Calculating the risk coefficient is more important than anything else; a buffer zone must be left.
