Loan Health indicates how close a loan is to liquidation. It ranges from 0% (at-risk) to 100% (fully safe). A higher health factor means more collateral buffer. Monitor your loan health from the Portfolio page.

​
Health Factor

A loan’s health factor indicates how close it is to liquidation. It is calculated using the formula: 1−Current LTVLiquidation LTV1 - \frac{\text{Current LTV}}{\text{Liquidation LTV}} Where:
  • Current LTV = Debt Value in USDCollateral Value in USD\displaystyle\frac{\text{Debt Value in USD}}{\text{Collateral Value in USD}}
  • Debt Value includes both the loan principal and the total interest that will accrue over the full loan term.
  • Liquidation LTV is a threshold set by the lender and is specific to each collateral asset. If the Current LTV exceeds this value, the loan becomes eligible for liquidation.
A health factor of 100% means the loan is fully safe and a health factor of 0% means the loan has reached the liquidation threshold.

​
Liquidations

A loan is subject to liquidation if its health factor falls to 0% or in the unlikely event that it cannot be auto-refinanced. A health factor of 0% means the value of the collateral has dropped below the liquidation threshold relative to the outstanding debt. This can happen at any time before the loan is fully repaid. When liquidation occurs, the borrower forfeits ownership of some or all of the collateral. Loopscale first attempts a partial liquidation, selling only the minimum amount of collateral required to bring the loan’s LTV back below . If there isn’t enough collateral to restore the loan to a healthy state, then the minimum amount required to fully repay the lender is sold. Any remaining collateral (after fees) is automatically returned to the borrower’s wallet.
Liquidation fees are based on how far above the liquidation LTV the loan was at the time of liquidation. For example, if a loan has an 80% liquidation threshold and is liquidated at 80.5%, the fee charged would be 0.5%.

​
Improve Loan Health

You can increase your loan’s health factor by:
  • Adding collateral (same asset as originally posted)
  • Partially repaying the loan
Borrowers may also repay a loan completely before its due date. Upon full repayment, the loan closes and all collateral returns to the borrower. Partial early repayments reduce the outstanding loan amount and increase the health factor. Any early repayment includes interest accrued up to that point.

​
Manage Loan

  • Borrow More
  • Withdraw Collateral
  • Top-up Collateral
  • Adjust Terms
If your loan is sufficiently healthy, you can borrow more of the debt asset up to the maximum loan-to-value. This reduces loan health.
