contents We address the liquidation problem arising from the credit risk management in decentralised finance (DeFi) by formulating it as an ergodic optimal control problem. In decentralised derivatives exchanges, liquidation is triggered whenever the parties fail to maintain sufficient collateral for their open positions. Consequently, effectively managing and liquidating disposal of positions accrued through liquidations is a critical concern for decentralised derivatives exchanges. By simplifying the model (linear temporary and permanent price impacts, simplified cash balance dynamics), we derive the closed-form solutions for the optimal liquidation strategies, which balance immediate executions with the temporary and permanent price impacts, and the optimal long-term average reward. Numerical simulations further highlight the effectiveness of the proposed optimal strategy and demonstrate that the simplified model closely approximates the original market environment. Finally, we provide the method for calibrating the parameters in the model from the available data.
