Torch Market
Torch Market is a DeFi protocol combining swap, lending, liquidation, and yield functionality 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 open-source SDK (torchsdk on npm with ~4K downloads via Clawhub agent skill), frontend at torch.market, and has completed a security audit.
The protocol attempted to raise $75,000 through Futardio on 2026-03-05 but entered refunding status within one day, closing on 2026-03-06. The fundraise proposed a 6-month runway covering infrastructure ($500-1500/month for Helius RPC, $40/month for frontend deployment), founder compensation ($3000/month), marketing ($2000/month), marketing team ($6000/month for 2 people), and $5000 flat for bonding a new token on mainnet.
