Forgd Launches The Liquidity Transparency Initiative to Bring Accountability to Crypto Market Making

The suite of tools allows users to engage market makers in a competitive bidding process and track their trade activity to assess impact on token liquidity.

Cryptocurrency projects are increasingly judged by the strength and stability of their token’s liquidity. As blockchain projects navigate a competitive landscape, engaging market makers effectively is paramount to ensure efficient capital deployment and sustained token price stability. However, this aspect of Web3 collaboration often lacks transparency, leading to concerns and controversies.

To counter this, token advisory and optimization platform, Forgd, has launched The Liquidity Transparency Initiative—a suite of free tools designed to streamline market maker engagement and enable efficient tracking of their activity.

The initiative provides valuable data-driven insights that will aid projects in selecting the best market makers for specific needs, and assess their performance over time.

The initiative’s launch also marks a shift in how blockchain projects engage with market makers. Instead of a request-for-quote ("RFQ") process that's typically limited to email chains and varying formats, Forgd's platform hosts a live, dynamic marketplace where market makers can adjust proposals based on competitive insights, ultimately driving higher quality deal terms.

Once a project has selected a market maker, Forgd allows for real-time tracking of their trade activity, assessing their impact on liquidity and volume, thus ensuring accountability and maximizing the value of each engagement. This approach not only optimizes partner selection but also upholds transparency and effectiveness throughout the project's lifecycle.

Token liquidity is one of the most crucial—and scrutinized—metrics for a token's success. Crypto projects need to demonstrate not just strong fundamentals, but real, sustained market performance. But without access to real-time liquidity data, this essential function is reduced to guesswork, making it nearly impossible to evaluate market maker execution, identify issues, or optimize strategies.

"Crypto founders are being held to higher standards than ever—but when it comes to liquidity, they're still flying blind," said Forgd CEO & Founder Shane Molidor. "Forgd arms founders with the data to ensure they align with the best market makers, and provides real-time insights on how market makers are performing—not just once a month in a PDF report, but in real time."

The Forgd product suite is especially valuable for projects managing multiple liquidity providers, offering a side-by-side comparison of how each firm is performing. These metrics let projects easily identify which partners are adding value, and which are underperforming.

"We've found that most market markers welcome the visibility," said Molidor. "For them, it's an opportunity to showcase execution, uptime, and pricing discipline—ultimately helping them stand out in a more competitive environment." Forgd has already secured integrations with many of the industry's largest trading institutions, including GSR, Amber Group, Selini Capital, Flowdesk, Acheron Trading, Keyrock, and others.

The announcement of The Liquidity Transparency Initiative further advances Forgd's broader mission to refine and formalize the token launch process, arming founders with professional-grade tools and financial guidance to foster long-term success. Over 1,000 projects utilize Forgd's free-to-use software for tokenomics design, financial modeling, and liquidity monitoring. The Liquidity Transparency Initiative is live with the release of two new products: "Engage a Market Maker" and "Monitor your Market Maker", which are available to all projects using the Forgd platform.
