# Role of Liquidation

### Main Role of Liquidation

When collateral value declines excessively or base asset value rises, and the borrower cannot properly manage their position,

liquidation prevents the borrower from defaulting and causing losses to the entire protocol, protecting other users.

It also minimizes losses to borrowers due to declining collateral value.

This function allows the protocol to maintain sustainable operations

and provide users with a safe environment.

### Avoiding Liquidation

When collateral value declines excessively or base asset value rises,

borrowers can avoid liquidation by adjusting their position, such as increasing the amount of collateral assets deposited into the protocol

or repaying base asset borrows.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://pnd-docs.defigeek.xyz/punodwo-dokyumento/english/specification/liquidation/role-of-liquidation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
