contents We derive a slippage-aware toxicity condition for on-chain liquidations executed via a constant-product automated market maker (CP-AMM). For a fixed (constant) liquidation incentive $i$, the familiar toxicity frontier $ν< 1/(1+i)$ tightens to $ν< 1/((1+i)λ)$ for a liquidity penalty factor $λ$ that we derive for both the CP-AMM and a generalised form. Using a dynamic health-linked liquidation incentive $i(h) = i(1 - h)$, we obtain a state-dependent bound and, at the liquidation boundary, a liquidity-depth-only condition $ν< 1/λ$. This reconciles dynamic incentives with the impact of the CP-AMM price and clarifies when dynamic liquidation incentives reduce versus exacerbate spiral risk.
