When your health factor drops, lending protocols charge a 5-15% liquidation penalty. Self-liquidate with VAEA and pay only 0.03%.
Monitor your position — when health factor drops below your threshold, trigger self-liquidation.
VAEA borrows the exact tokens needed to repay your debt on the lending protocol.
The borrowed amount repays your loan on Marginfi, Kamino, or Drift — unlocking your collateral.
Collateral is withdrawn, swapped to repay the flash loan. You keep the rest — 0.03% fee only.
Your $5,000 SOL position on Marginfi hits health factor 1.05. A liquidation bot would take $500-$750 as penalty (10-15%). With VAEA Self-Liquidation, you pay $1.50 (0.03%). That's up to $748.50 saved — money that stays in your wallet.
