Toxicity Bounds for Dynamic Liquidation Incentives

Abstract
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 , the familiar toxicity frontier tightens to for a liquidity penalty factor that we derive for both the CP-AMM and a generalised form. Using a dynamic health-linked liquidation incentive , we obtain a state-dependent bound and, at the liquidation boundary, a liquidity-depth-only condition . This reconciles dynamic incentives with the impact of the CP-AMM price and clarifies when dynamic liquidation incentives reduce versus exacerbate spiral risk.
