No LTV Liquidations
Liqudium does not use Loan-to-Value (LTV) based liquidations. The loan status depends on repayment within the set duration. If not repaid, the loan defaults and the collateral goes to the lender.
Max Offer Amount
The maximum amount you can offer as a lender is tied to the floor price of the corresponding collection. This means you can't lend more than the lowest-valued Ordinal in that collection. The floor price information is from Magic Eden.
If the floor price falls below the lender's offer amount, the lender will be notified.
What’s APY and how do I calculate it?
APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is the interest rate applied annually to a loan, including compound interest, showing the effective annual interest rate.
APY Calculation
Who pays transaction fees?
Transaction fees are paid by the one broadcasting the transaction. Here are the possibilities:
Lender starts a loan → Borrower pays fees.
Borrower repays loan → Borrower pays fees.
Borrower claims ordinal (after repayment) → Borrower pays fees.
Lender claims ordinal (once loan ends without repayment) → Lender pays fees.
Does Liquidium charge fees?
Yes, Liquidium receives a 20% platform fee of the total borrowing cost rate charged on the loan. No fees are charged in case of a loan default.
The platform fee is subject to change.
Loan duration and borrowing cost rate / yield
