An open-source research and engineering lab building fairer, gas-efficient liquidation mechanisms for decentralized finance.
Reforge is an open-source protocol and research project that redesigns DeFi liquidations.
Conventional lending protocols rely on first-come, first-served races—triggering destructive Priority Gas Auctions (PGAs) where liquidator searchers burn up to 90% of their profits in gas bribes to block proposers. Reforge replaces these latency races with discrete, time-windowed batch auctions that score liquidations on true economic efficiency.
