Borrowing limits on GLIF are determined by the "debt-to-liquidation" value ratio, or "DTL" for short.
Computing DTL requires two other metrics:
Debt - the SP's outstanding principal plus any unpaid interest
Liquidation value - the SP's "collateral value" (defined here)
DTL < 100% means that, in a liquidation scenario, GLIF will recover all principal and interest owed to GLIF.
To borrow from GLIF, the maximum DTL ratio is 75% which means an SP's debt cannot exceed 75% of its liquidation value. If the Storage Provider’s DTL exceeds 75%, all borrowing and withdrawing of rewards is disabled until the Storage Provider returns to <75% DTL.
If a Storage Provider's DTL ratio goes above 75%, it is not immediately in danger of liquidation. If a Storage Provider's DTL goes above 85%, it is in danger of liquidation. It is highly recommended to contact the GLIF team immediately if any SP's DTL ratio exceeds 75%.
