- 03:56Report: Outdated algorithm caused an additional $650 million loss on the Hyperliquid platformJinse Finance reported that it has been two months since the crypto market crash on October 10, during which $1.9 billion in positions were liquidated. Gauntlet CEO Tarun Chitra pointed out that the common Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) mechanism led to large-scale losses on Hyperliquid. In a lengthy article, Chitra stated that over $650 million was automatically deleveraged from profitable traders' positions. He noted that this amount is 28 times the potential bad debt faced by the relevant exchanges. This "massacre of innocents" could allegedly have been avoided with new ADL algorithms, which are detailed in a 95-page report. Chitra defines Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) as an "ultimate backstop"—a mechanism that compensates for bad debt from insolvent positions by "cutting the position value" of profitable traders. This "queue algorithm," which has been in use for a decade, is currently widely adopted by several perpetual contract platforms, including a certain exchange, Hyperliquid, and Lighter.
