Liquidators must obtain equal amount of the Kresko Asset repaid on behalf of the liquidatee. These are burned and the debt balance of the liquidatee is reduced accordingly. Protocol then calculates the amount of collateral to seize, removes it from the liquidatees and transfers it to the liquidators address.
When a liquidator repays debt on the unhealthy CDP, in return they receive the liquidatees collateral at a discount according to the . This rewards the liquidators in exchange for the repayment cost and effort.
Thing to understand in liquidations is the difference between (LT) and the (MCR).
An account in the protocol is considered liquidatable when the ratio of collateral to debt is less than the LT. MCR is used to decide whether the CDP is allowed to take on more debt. While MCR is similar to the LT, it won't make an account liquidatable. The possible gap between these ratios is a safety buffer and it prevents users from creating extremely risky positions which would get liquidated in the slightest market movement.
