My current principle for checking lending positions is simple: if you’re three steps away from the liquidation line, don’t play dead. The first step is to screenshot your position, then figure out exactly what “a little more drop” means—don’t rely on gut feeling. Also, take a quick look at the oracle price feed’s source and update frequency: some protocols are usually quite stable, but in extreme volatility, a price feed that goes off can be more dangerous than a contract bug.

The second step: reduce leverage if you can—repay a bit, add some collateral, or simply cut down your position and switch to more stable collateral assets. Don’t wait until the chain gets congested and you can’t click to act.

The third step: get your “firefighting funds” ready. Include Gas and cross-chain transfer time—by the time you’re really near the red line, it’s basically too late to find money.

Recently, airdrop season has made people feel like they’re clocking in for work. Task platforms keep getting more and more exhausting with anti-witch measures, and I’d rather put my energy into this small thing—avoiding liquidation… what about you?
