Curve Finance introduced the LLAMMA soft liquidation model in its crvUSD stablecoin system to replace harsh, immediate liquidations with gradual collateral conversion across price bands. This approach reduces borrower losses and allows reversals if prices recover, unlike traditional DeFi platforms where liquidation is abrupt and total. Tested during a 2024 market stress event, LLAMMA helped prevent cascading liquidations and has expanded in 2026 to accept more collateral types, boosting borrowing activity. The model aligns better with institutional risk expectations but still requires active monitoring to avoid hard liquidation.
