We use Flow's scheduled transactions to do minimal liquidations to keep the lending protocol safe, while providing hooks to react to health changes before liquidation is even on the table. This lets you borrow more funds for harvesting yield, while reducing liquidation risk!

Great report from Messari on the value that Flow is bringing to Consumer DeFi. messari.io/report/flow-network...… One of our key insights was noting that "liquidation" isn't some "punishment to visit upon the unworthy", but a last resort risk management strategy to be used sparingly.

What a way to ring in the New Year! 😅 Flow is fully operational, and I’m filled with gratitude for how this ecosystem responded. To the technical teams: what we pulled off this week wasn’t a simple network reboot. It was a surgical extraction of invalid state across two

UPDATE: FLOW NETWORK FULLY OPERATIONAL - CADENCE AND EVM ENVIRONMENTS LIVE This milestone marks the completion of one of the most complex recovery operations in blockchain history. What was initially projected as a sequential, multi-day process has been executed in parallel,

Is it just me or do these changes feel like rearranging deck-chairs? 😇 Sure, there are some features that are trendy in comp-sci circles, but nothing that really addresses the existential pain that comes from writing Solidity... 😞

I’m beyond jazzed for this new chapter of Flow: Safer, easier, more efficient defi for everyone. GoWTF! twitter.com/dete73/status/1995...

You'd better believe it! 😉 The trick is to tie the lending protocol to the yield investment (with on-chain automation!) so that you sell your yield tokens instead of getting your collateral liquidated. It's even better than being awake 24/7 obsessing over your health factor! 😆

I couldn't believe that when they modeled the market crashes in Flow Credit Markets that there were zero liquidations across market cycles of the last five years. Better user protection is what is needed for DeFi to truly go mainstream.

That's bullshit: if the environment was stable you don't need automation in the first place! That's like saying "my trading strat can perform very well as long as prices keep going up" Your strat is shit if it fails in volatile environments.
