Last night before bed, I checked the liquidation on the chain again, and I felt a bit uneasy: many people think that being liquidated means "I over-leveraged," but sometimes it's really just the oracle feeding prices slowly. You look at the market and think it's okay, but the contract/loan side is using outdated quotes. When the update finally comes, the health factor drops straight through the bottom, and the liquidation bots don't show any mercy... To put it simply, you're not losing to the market, but to the delay plus the congestion during those few minutes.



Right now, I only have two things in mind: don't keep your position on the edge, leave some buffer for that "sudden price spike"; and if you're really going to leverage, first check which oracle the protocol uses and roughly how often it updates. By the way, I’ve been thinking about the recent NFT royalty disputes—it's actually quite similar: when the rules and data layer change, the first to suffer are always ordinary people, and liquidity disappears faster than anyone. That's all for now, being cautious never hurts.
