# Liquidations

{% hint style="warning" %}
**This documentation is a work in progress!**
{% endhint %}

Anyone can liquidate a [ICDP](/kresko-docs/fundamentals/cdps/icdp.md) under the [liquidation threshold](/kresko-docs/fundamentals/cdps.md#liquidation-threshold) by repaying [debt](/kresko-docs/fundamentals/cdps.md#debt-value) of the position, increasing its [Collateralization Ratio](/kresko-docs/fundamentals/cdps.md#collateralization-ratio). The repaid value, plus a liquidation incentive, is seized from the [collateral](/kresko-docs/fundamentals/cdps.md#collateral-deposit-value) and sent to the liquidator.&#x20;

The liquidator decides which [Kresko Asset](/kresko-docs/fundamentals/kresko-assets.md) to repay and the [Collateral Asset](/kresko-docs/fundamentals/collateral-assets.md) to seize in return.

## Liquidation Process

While a CDP’s collateral and debt can be composed of several assets, liquidations operate exclusively on **one debt asset and one collateral asset** at a time.

If the CR remains below the LT after a liquidation call, it is subject to additional liquidations up to the [Maximum Liquidation Ratio](/kresko-docs/fundamentals/liquidations.md#maximum-liquidation-ratio).&#x20;

## Example

{% hint style="success" %}

#### **Example**&#x20;

* The liquidation incentive is set at 5%&#x20;
* Close fee of the Kresko Asset is set at 0.5%.&#x20;

Liquidator repays $100 worth of debt.&#x20;

The seized collateral will be 105% of the repay value so the liquidator seizes $105 worth of collateral.&#x20;

The protocol receive the close fee of 0.5% which equals $0.5.
