An Aave collateral swap allows borrowers to exchange their deposited collateral asset for a different supported token without closing active debt positions or withdrawing funds manually.
The Aave Health Factor is a numeric representation of the safety of your borrowed assets against your deposited collateral. A Health Factor above 1.0 indicates a solvent position, while a value below 1.0 triggers liquidation.
When your Aave Health Factor reaches or falls below 1.0, your loan position becomes insolvent and becomes eligible for public liquidation by liquidator bots.
To avoid Aave liquidation, borrowers can implement automated Health Factor monitoring, top up collateral, partially repay debt, or execute atomic debt and collateral swaps.
Maximum LTV defines how much you can borrow when initiating a loan, while Liquidation Threshold determines the point at which your existing loan becomes undercollateralized and vulnerable to liquidation.
