Risk parameters – Levers used by the protocol to maintain the soft peg to the dollar (i.e. Liquidation ratio, debt value, etc.)
Debt available to borrow – Maximum amount of miMatic that can be borrowed from a vault without breaching the liquidity ratio
Closing fee - The fee paid to the treasury when miMatic debt is fully or partially repaid
Liquidation ratio - This ratio sets the minimum collateral to debt value allowed in vaults (currently 150%). A 150% liquidity ratio means that for every $1-worth of miMatic in a vault, users must have at least $1.5-worth of Matic deposited as collateral.
Liquidation - When the collateral to debt ratio in a vault falls below the liquidation ratio, triggering the sale of the underlying collateral.
