Automated liquidation is the automatic closing of a leveraged position when its collateral value drops below a predetermined threshold. This process is executed by smart contracts or exchange mechanisms without manual intervention. It helps maintain the solvency of lending platforms and derivative markets by preventing collateral from falling below the loan amount. Such systems are fundamental to the risk management frameworks within decentralized finance protocols and centralized crypto exchanges.
