🤖Inter Protocol Liquidation Bidding Bot
Join the community of open-source builders at Agoric!
Description
Write a reusable off-chain bot for bidding on Inter Protocol liquidations and arbing them against an external market. The bot should notice pricing differences between active Inter Protocol liquidations (with the price delta a configurable parameter), purchase collateral from the Inter Protocol liquidation, make transfer to external market, and sell collateral at a profit.
Example
ATOM is trading at 10 IST each on Osmosis
An active Inter Protocol liquidation is offering 100 ATOM for 9.50 IST
Bot buys 100 ATOM for 9.5 IST each (950 IST)
Bot transfers 100 ATOM to Osmosis
Bot sells 100 ATOM on Osmosis for 10IST each (1000 IST)
Bot profits 50 IST (ignoring trading fees, transaction fees, price impact, price movement)
Context
Inter Protocol requires a healthy liquidation market to ensure protocol stability. Bots are the most effective liquidation bidders as they can actively monitor market conditions and drive profit to their owners. Healthy liquidation markets will converge to bot battles.
Inter Protocol doesn’t currently have any active bots bidding on liquidations. This would be the first!
Acceptance Criteria
Demo of bot code
Bot only places bids on active liquidations
Bot places all bids by price and only places bids when the necessary delta is met
Bot price delta is configurable
Bot cancels bids that were not filled
Bot exits filled or partially filled bids immediately and begins offloading collateral
Bot understands price impact of its sale on Osmosis and has some method of limiting it (hardcoded limit on individual sale size fine)
Bot understands the structure of the liquidation auction given governance parameters and knows the price thresholds the auction will offer at and at what time it will offer them
Time Estimation
2 weeks (80 hours)

Experience Write-up (1000-1500 words)
As part of completing the bounty, we ask that you write up a short (or long!) summary of your experience building on Agoric. Write-up should:

Clearly explain the specific bounty project (~100 words)
Describe how the developer approached the problem (~300 words)
Give a step-by-step description of the solution (>500 words && <1000 words)
At least three code snippets per write-up. They do not count toward overall word count
