Lately I’ve been watching the liquidation line for lending again, and that “three steps away from the red line” feeling is really annoying… To be blunt, don’t wait until there’s only one step left before you scramble. My habit is to first stop every “urge to add positions,” and treat the position as if I’ve already lost the money—then I immediately do two things: either top up some collateral to push the line outward a bit; or just repay part of the debt, even if it means making less, rather than passively getting “cut” on liquidation. I’ll also quickly take a screenshot of the on-chain positions so that when emotions run high, I don’t forget exactly how much I borrowed.

Recently, everyone’s been talking so excitedly about modularity and the DA layer (the data availability layer). I see developers are pretty pumped, while users look completely confused… But for a lending player like me, no matter how hot the narrative is, liquidation won’t show any mercy just because you understand it. In any case, I have one principle: once you’re three steps away from the red line, start taking action—don’t wait for the system to decide for you.
