Our battle-tested liquidation engine delivers the speed, reliability, and configurability required to protect your lending protocol's solvency and maximize capital efficiency.
Liquidation Engine Development for Lending Protocols
Core Engine Capabilities
Multi-Asset & Cross-Margin Support
Engineered to handle complex collateral baskets and cross-margin positions. We integrate price feeds for any asset (spot, LP tokens, yield-bearing) and calculate health factors across entire portfolios, not just single assets.
Gas-Optimized Auction Mechanisms
Implement Dutch, English, or sealed-bid auctions with sub-200k gas overhead. Our smart contracts minimize on-chain footprint while ensuring fair market price discovery and maximizing recovery rates for bad debt.
Real-Time Health Monitoring & Alerts
Proactive monitoring system that tracks position health in real-time, triggering pre-liquidation alerts and enabling keeper coordination to ensure timely execution before positions become underwater.
Configurable Risk Parameters
Granular control over liquidation thresholds, close factors, incentive bonuses, and auction durations. Adjust parameters via governance or admin functions without requiring a full engine upgrade.
Business Outcomes
Our liquidation engine development service is engineered for measurable impact, delivering robust infrastructure that directly enhances your protocol's security, efficiency, and profitability.
Capital Efficiency & Risk Reduction
Automated, real-time liquidation of undercollateralized positions to protect your lending pool. Our engines are designed to minimize bad debt and maximize capital recovery, ensuring protocol solvency.
Gas-Optimized Execution
Smart contracts and keeper bots built with gas efficiency as a core principle. We implement techniques like batch processing and MEV protection to reduce operational costs for you and your users.
Scalable Keeper Network
A resilient, decentralized network of liquidation bots designed for high throughput and 24/7 uptime. Our infrastructure scales automatically with your protocol's TVL and transaction volume.
Regulatory & Audit Readiness
Development follows industry security standards, with comprehensive documentation and test coverage exceeding 95%. Our codebase is structured for seamless integration with third-party auditors like CertiK or OpenZeppelin.
Customizable Logic & Oracles
Tailor liquidation parameters, health factor thresholds, and auction mechanisms to your specific risk model. Seamlessly integrate with Chainlink, Pyth, or custom price feeds.
Faster Time-to-Market
Leverage our battle-tested, modular codebase and deployment expertise. We deliver production-ready liquidation systems, allowing you to launch or upgrade your lending protocol in weeks, not months.

Our Development Process
A structured, security-first approach to building robust liquidation engines that protect your protocol's solvency and scale with your TVL.
Architecture & Risk Modeling
We design the liquidation engine's core logic based on your specific collateral types, oracle feeds, and risk parameters. This phase defines the health factor thresholds, auction mechanisms (English, Dutch, fixed-price), and gas-efficient execution paths.
Smart Contract Development
Implementation in Solidity 0.8+ using OpenZeppelin libraries and gas-optimized patterns. We build the core liquidation logic, keeper incentive mechanisms, and fail-safes to handle network congestion and oracle failures.
Security Audit & Formal Verification
Every line of code undergoes internal review followed by an external audit from a top-tier firm. We use static analysis tools and, for critical functions, formal verification to mathematically prove correctness.
Keeper Network Integration
We integrate with decentralized keeper networks (e.g., Chainlink Automation, Gelato) or help you set up a private keeper system. This ensures reliable, permissionless execution of liquidation transactions under volatile market conditions.
Testnet Deployment & Simulation
Deploy to a forked mainnet environment and run stress tests with historical price crash data. We simulate black swan events to validate the engine's ability to protect the protocol's solvency under extreme stress.
Mainnet Launch & Monitoring
We manage the production deployment and provide real-time monitoring dashboards for liquidation events, keeper performance, and system health. Includes 24/7 support during the initial stabilization period.

Technology & Protocols
Our liquidation engine development leverages battle-tested protocols and proprietary technology to deliver capital-efficient, secure, and reliable protection for your lending protocol.
Custom Solidity & Vyper Development
We build high-performance liquidation logic in Solidity 0.8+ or Vyper, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and gas-optimized patterns to minimize execution costs and maximize keeper profitability.
Multi-Chain & L2 Deployment
Deploy your engine on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, or Polygon. We ensure seamless integration with native bridging and cross-chain messaging (CCIP, LayerZero) for unified risk management.
Oracle Integration & Price Feeds
Integrate with Chainlink, Pyth Network, or custom TWAP oracles. We implement robust circuit breakers, heartbeat checks, and multi-source validation to prevent price manipulation attacks.
Keeper Network & Incentive Design
Design and integrate with Gelato, Chainlink Automation, or a custom keeper network. We create optimal incentive mechanisms to ensure timely liquidations under volatile market conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our process, timeline, security, and support for building robust liquidation engines for lending protocols.
A standard, production-ready liquidation engine for a lending protocol typically takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes design, development, integration with your existing smart contracts, internal testing, and a security audit. Complex features like multi-asset support or MEV-resistant auctions can extend the timeline. We provide a detailed project plan within the first week.
