What Is the Concept of a “Dutch Auction” in NFT Liquidation?
A Dutch Auction is a liquidation method where the starting price of the collateralized NFT is set high and gradually decreases over time until a buyer is found. This method is used for illiquid NFTs to ensure a sale is executed quickly to cover the outstanding loan while attempting to maximize the recovery price, and is entirely automated by the smart contract.
