Do I get liquidated if the price leaves my range?
Last modified:
No. Unlike lending protocols, v3 has no liquidation mechanism. If the spot price moves outside a position's bounds, the position simply becomes inactive — it stops earning fees and holds 100 % of one token.
The token composition shifts continuously with price movement:
- Price falls below the range → the position converts entirely to
token0(the base asset). - Price rises above the range → the position converts entirely to
token1(the quote asset).
Example: A position in a CTN/USDC pool with range 1,000-5,000:
| CTN price | Position composition |
|---|---|
| < $1,000 | 100% CTN |
| $1,000-$5,000 | Mix of CTN and USDC |
| > $5,000 | 100% USDC |
Capital remains fully withdrawable at any time regardless of range status.
