Close Factor
Breakdown of Close Factor parameter utility and methodology
Utility
Close factor corresponds to the maximum amount of an outstanding borrow that can be closed in a single liquidation event.
The parameter is set globally for the protocol, just like the liquidation incentive setting.
Methodology
From a risk management perspective, the close factor needs to be high enough to incentivize small liquidations to be carried, but not too high to avoid penalizing violators too heavily.
