# 🔚Finalize Shorts

Liquidity providers can remove liquidity prior to expiry to finalize their short exposure. When removing liquidity, the smart contracts compute a finalized amount of net shorts in calls or puts owed to a position. After reserving collateral for settlement, unused collaterals are returned.
