Simple Summary

Increase liquidationPenalty to 45% from 30% and selfLiquidationPenalty to 40% from 20%. Also reduce liquidationDelay from 12 hours to 8 hours.

Abstract

This SCCP proposes adjustments to SNX staking liquidation parameters to better align staking incentives towards repayment of debt and increase the robustness of the protocol.

Motivation

The incentives to repay debt are currently weakened by insufficiently punitive liquidation penalties. While volatility is heightened, lengthy flagging periods also can impose excess risk on healthy accounts and result in incongruences between liquidation rewards and debt assumed via socialized liquidations.
