Liquidate

Liquidate strategy: Auction-based DCA liquidations use a lower starting price and steady halving period to systematically sell assets over time. The strategy starts below market price (e.g. 5% discount) and exponentially decays upward until it intersects with market price, triggering a sale. After each successful trade, it resets to a new starting price based on the configured discount, creating a consistent selling pressure that avoids market impact.

The key innovation is combining discounted starting prices with measured decay curves to systematically distribute selling pressure over time. This provides predictable liquidity without causing price crashes while maintaining the efficiency benefits of auction-based price discovery. The strategy's halving curve ensures larger trades execute at better prices while smaller trades can clear near market as time progresses.

This distribution mechanism helps maintain price stability by gradually deploying sell pressure rather than dumping everything at once. The configurable parameters (starting discount, halving period, minimum trade size) allow tuning based on asset liquidity and time preferences. For example, less liquid assets might use larger initial discounts but slower halving periods to find natural buyers without excessive price impact.
