# Torch Market

Torch Market is a DeFi protocol combining swap, lending, liquidation, and yield features in a single on-chain protocol designed for both human and AI agent users. The protocol is formally verified (48/48 Kani proof harnesses) and deployed on Solana devnet/mainnet. The project includes an SDK (torchsdk on npm with ~4K downloads via Clawhub agent skill), open-source repositories, and completed security audit.
