How Does the Insurance Fund Get Replenished?

The insurance fund is primarily replenished by the excess funds generated from liquidations. When a position is liquidated at a price better than the bankruptcy price, the difference between the actual liquidation price and the bankruptcy price is contributed to the insurance fund.

It can also be replenished through a portion of the trading fees collected by the exchange.
