Forgd brings its crypto market-maker leaderboard to DefiLlama

Abstract:DefiLlama has integrated Forgd‘s market-maker leaderboard, giving users access to standardized rankings based on spreads, market depth, trading volume, uptime, and execution quality. The data draws from over 500 token projects and 35 market-making firms using Forgd’s tools to monitor liquidity. The integration lets DefiLlama users compare market makers across exchanges and assess the liquidity behind individual tokens. Forgd launched the leaderboard in May to help token projects select and monitor liquidity providers. DefiLlama‘s head of research said it adds a useful signal beyond volume and liquidity. However, Forgd’s CEO cautioned that a lower grade does not necessarily judge trading performance; it may simply reflect that a firm has not fully opted into performance verification. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Crypto analytics platform DefiLlama has integrated Forgds market-maker leaderboard, giving users access to data on spreads, market depth, trading volume and uptime.

In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, Forgd said that the dashboard ranks crypto market makers using standardized measures of pricing, depth, reliability and execution quality. The data comes from more than 500 token projects and 35 market-making firms that use Forgds tools to monitor liquidity across active engagements, according to the company.

The integration allows DefiLlama users to compare market makers across exchanges and assess the liquidity supporting individual tokens. Forgd first launched the leaderboard in May as a tool for token projects selecting and monitoring liquidity providers.

Ryan Celaj, DefiLlamas head of research, said the integration adds another signal for evaluating execution quality and market resilience alongside metrics such as volume and liquidity.

However, the ratings do not solely reflect observed trading performance. “A lower grade on the index is not necessarily a judgment of a firms trading,” Forgd CEO Shane Molidor told Cointelegraph.

“It reflects that they havent yet fully opted into performance verification.” This means that the leaderboard ratings may also reflect the amount of data a market maker provides to Forgd.

Forgd and DefiLlama did not disclose financial terms for the integration. Cointelegraph reached out for further comment.
