Post-Liquidation Cooldown

Definition

Post-liquidation cooldown refers to a temporary period during which specific market actions or account operations are restricted after a liquidation event occurs. This mechanism is often implemented in lending protocols or derivatives exchanges to prevent immediate, further destabilization of the market. The cooldown allows the system to process the liquidation fully and helps mitigate cascading effects that could otherwise trigger additional liquidations. It aims to restore market equilibrium and protect remaining participants from extreme volatility. This measure promotes orderly market function.
