Why Time-Based Liquidation?

Traditional DeFi Problem

  • Price spikes/drops cause unexpected liquidations

  • Users lose positions due to temporary volatility

  • Constant monitoring required

Sprocket's Solution

  • Define your position duration upfront

  • No liquidation from price movements

  • Sleep soundly knowing exact expiry time

  • Plan your positions with certainty

How It Works

  1. Open Position

    • Choose your collateral ($ROCKET)

    • Select leverage amount

    • Define position duration

  2. During Position

    • No price-based liquidation risk

    • Monitor time remaining

    • Add collateral or close early if desired

  3. Position Close

    • Repay before expiry to retrieve collateral

    • Automatic liquidation at time expiry if not repaid

    • Liquidated assets are burnt (deflationary mechanism)

Revenue Generation

Funding Fees

  • Automatic adjustments based on long/short ratios

  • Paid by over-weighted side to under-weighted side

  • Protocol takes a small percentage

Borrowing Interest

  • Variable rates based on utilization

  • Scales with demand for leverage
