Have a look at the Lumin Finance video from Ceazor.
Although the liquidation part isn't entirely correct (lender gets his full deposit first before a split happens & liquidator doesn't need to stake the token), he did an incredible job.

Hi everyone!
We want to give an update on development, so let's start in short order!
An initial thank you to everyone who has participated in the testnet and submitted findings so far.
Here is a quick update on our side!
Many things are happening under the hood right now as we prepare to advance to Step 2 of our testnet.
Issues identified in Step 1 relating to slow data updates and RPC node communication are being tackled by implementing a decentralised

We will deploy our platform on the testnet and, a few days later, have our second funding round.
That will be followed by completing the platform's smart contract audits and the official platform launch.

💰 Interest Payments on Lumin Finance 💰
Loan durations on Lumin Finance are based on 30-day terms, up to a maximum of 300 days (10 terms). And the interest payment is made by each term.
Let's explore how this works!
#LuminFinance
#InterestPayments
Unstaking:
When $LUMIN is unstaked, it remains locked for 30 days, during which it does not participate in the fee sharing.
During this time, these tokens can't be transferred or swapped.
When it is no longer locked, the NFT can be destroyed to claim back $LUMIN.
🔁 Token Flow: At Lumin Finance, we believe in creating a strong circulation flow and a deflationary supply.
Our unique mechanisms, including fee sharing, buyback-and-distribute (BBD), and buyback-and-burn (BBB), benefits all ecosystem participants.
🔒 Liquidations on Lumin Finance - Part I 🔒
A loan is at risk of liquidation when the value of the collateral drops below the required minimum.
Let's explore how liquidations work on Lumin Finance.
The distributed $LUMIN tokens are staked and locked for 12 months.
This locking mechanism ensures that borrowers are committed to the platform, aligning their interests with the long-term success of Lumin Finance.

Any funds sent after the results will be returned to the sender's address, minus network fees.
🎇 Stay tuned for the next steps!
🔥 To maintain a healthy ecosystem, any surplus $LUMIN tokens that cannot be distributed are burned.
This burn mechanism prevents token inflation and increases the scarcity and value of $LUMIN tokens over time.
🔄 In cases where the total $LUMIN to be distributed exceeds the daily maximum emission, the distribution is proportionally reduced.
This ensures fairness and prevents any concentration of rewards.

I was lucky enough to audit code using OpenZeppelin-contracts v5.0.0 new access control management solution.
It's confusing at first, but after a few hours you clearly see the benefit. Code's cleaner, more cohesive and you can reason about the authority model of an app quicker.

Utility, enhanced: NFTs can be transferred, split or merged with another NFT.
The NTF "power", boosted by the multiplier, is used for governance as well.
⏰ At launch, the daily $LUMIN emission for the borrower incentives will be 500 tokens/day.
When we move to a DAO governance, the emissions will be governed by the DAO, ensuring community-driven decisions.
#CommunityEmpowerment
#DAO
📈Platform Fees Utilisation📈
💡 Lumin Finance charges borrowers a platform fee of 10% on the total value of the interest to be paid for a loan.
Let's see how these fees are distributed within the Lumin ecosystem.
❗️ In this scenario, the remaining tokens for distribution would be calculated as follows: 500 - 11.1 - 3.33 = 485.57 $LUMIN.
These excess tokens will be burned to maintain a balanced distribution system.
NFT Locking: $LUMIN locked in an NFT.
We lock your $LUMIN in an NFT, adding a layer of security and functionality.
A multiplier is added to increase the rewards earned and is based on the number of terms left to lock:
10 terms = x2;
5 terms = x1.5;
1 term = x1.
💰 Taking into account the value of 1 $LUMIN = $0.30, the distribution for Loan 1 would be 11.1 $LUMIN ($3.33 / $0.30) and for Loan 2, it would be 3.33 $LUMIN ($1 / $0.30).
Cross-chain Collateral Assets: Explore payment options beyond the main chain.
When the Lender agrees to cross-chain collateral, the borrower can repay the interest and loan on another chain and won't bridge every term's payment. 🌐
#CrossChainPayments
💡 Additionally, consider Loan 2: $1,000 at 6% interest for 2 terms (60 days), with a total interest of $60.
The daily interest value for this loan is $60 / 60 = $1.
📊 Let's break it down with an example!
Suppose Loan 1 is $10,000 at 1% interest for 1 term (30 days), with a total interest of $100.
The daily interest value for this loan is $100 / 30 = $3.33.
💼 Fixed-rate returns: No imprecise APY calculations.
✅For lenders, security of knowing exactly what they will receive!
✅For borrowers, better planning and the possibility of lower rates!
Enjoy the stability and predictability that fixed-rate lending brings to the table.
💸 Each day, all active loans on Lumin Finance receive rewards in $LUMIN tokens.
Borrowers are entitled to receive tokens equivalent to the dollar value of their daily interest. This ensures a fair and transparent distribution mechanism.

#DeFi
🔑Borrowers play a crucial role in lending, as they take the capital and put it to use.
At Lumin Finance, we understand the importance of incentivizing borrowers and actively promoting platform usage.
Let's dive into how borrowers can benefit from using Lumin Finance.
💱 Collateral Distribution Example 💱
Let's say $12,000 worth of collateral is liquidated. Here's the breakdown:
$10,000 to the lender;
$500 to the liquidator, stakers, and protocol each;
Up to $500 to the lender, based on remaining interest.
⚖️ Incentives for Staking ⚖️
Staking $LUMIN tokens allows participation in liquidation situations.
The more you stake, the more you can participate. This does not apply when liquidating your own loan.

🌐 Token Utility: Our platform is powered by the $LUMIN token, which plays a central role in our protocol.
Active holders of $LUMIN benefit from its utility within the protocol and future governance rights in the DAO.
⛔️ Not a Bad Thing ⛔️
Liquidations are a crucial protection for lenders. Vigilant users and bots play a key role in this process.
Regularly checking your status and adding collateral when needed is essential.
Asset Type: Choose from USDC, USDT, ETH or ARB
We've started with the most popular assets as collateral options and will actively explore additional niche options. Pending DAO approval 😉
More opportunities await! 💼📈

💡 Protocol Rewards: Unlike most DeFi lending protocols, Lumin Finance rewards all participants in our platform: the lender, the borrower, and the staker.
The borrowers have extra incentives:
🤯Every day, all active loans are rewarded with $LUMIN equal to their daily interest.

#Flexibility
💸 Collateral Distribution 💸
The collateral that is liquidated is distributed as follows:
Lender: Receives collateral as repayment of the outstanding loan.
Liquidator, Stakers, and Protocol: Each receives 25% of the remaining balance.
Lender: Up to 25% of the balance.
💰 Peer-to-Peer: Each loan facilitated on Lumin Finance is individualized and unaffected by others on the platform.
The lenders set up the interest and term (duration) they want for the capital they’re providing.
The borrowers choose the conditions that better suit their needs.
💔 Liquidation Consequences 💔
When a loan is liquidated due to insufficient collateral, the borrower loses the provided collateral.
However, the borrowed assets remain in the borrower's ownership.
The better the reporting quality, the greater the rewards.
We will post a Medium article soon to give a more in-depth description of how this has been planned.
This is the end of this little walkthrough!
Remember that you can report any bugs found! For detailed instructions on how to do that, go to our Medium article:
🔒 Triggering Liquidation 🔒
Any user staking $LUMIN worth at least the share they will get from liquidating a loan can trigger liquidation.
Borrowers can prevent liquidation by increasing their collateral.
Liquidation Collateral Value: Between 120% and 150%.
We prioritize your collateral safety. Stay over these numbers!
The liquidation risk level depends on the collateral you provide, ensuring a secure borrowing experience. 🛡️💼
#RiskManagement
The testnet will be split up into stages so that we can collectively focus on polishing the UI from here.
As the testnet progresses, the team will review every reported bug and issue feature by feature.
Interest Rate: Set between 2% and 12% based on the full loan term.
Enjoy the power to determine your own interest rate.
Find the sweet spot that suits your financial strategy. 📈💰

📉 The Risk Threshold 📉
Joking aside, we want you to keep your loan safe. 😉
To avoid liquidation, the collateral value should not dip below 120% of the loan value. Keeping a 10% buffer is recommended to absorb market fluctuations.
