"What water-filling algorithm do @HyperliquidX and @binance use Greedy Queue algorithm: X. Rank traders by PNL % x Leverage X. Fully close positions until the deficit is covered This algorithm (e.g. liquidates more PNL than the deficit requires)"

"1) Youve written more to describe this case than what the Hyperliquid documentation which is case in point about how having to interpret what ADL is *actually* executed (in numeraire terms or not) is a flaw of the system 2) I agree that if there are two queues (one for seizing positions / PNL and one for executing/crossing as you describe) that interact with each other then you have to include that in the accounting. But there is no documentation explicitly saying that and no code showing you how that would happen; so the paper only focuses on the closures as thats what you can verify from"

"*Three* rules: Sybil resistant is the most important one (and Queue is not Sybil resistant; thats fine for binance since they have identity not for hyperliquid) The other part you seem to miss is that Queue is fine in isolation (if you look at most single events it is fine). But there is compounding of loss when ADL is repeatedly used versus with pro-rata (or any more distributive method) The Queue haircuts are of the form (1 X c X 0) whereas pro-rata is c * (1 1). Iterating the loss measurement (e.g. the value of overshoot conditional on a haircut vector) on the first vector is inherently"

"In this figure I keep the square shaded to handle the case that the water-filling is correct (e.g. it only liquidates the correct amount of PNL) I was unable to find that in the data if there is proof they were partially closed that'd be awesome"

"Did @HyperliquidX autodeleverage (ADL) $650m of PNL that it didnt have to Was this 28x more than the minimal necessary Did almost every exchange (incl. @binance) copy-pasta a Huobi heuristic from 2015 Can we do better in 2026 (+ a new paper)"

"Yeah thats fair; it still has a gap to pro rata though and a rounding error since the contract vector c is fixed and integral. The two algorithms are approximately equal if c_i is flat / approximately constant. This entire conversation is proving the point that the lack of real documentation and open source code makes this system impossible to trust fully if I cant even reason about the gap to pro-rata. The gap controls whether there is any compounding of the deficit on multiple ADL events"

"What about central clearing This is where the exchange holds the bad debt on their balance sheet. It has the positive of not liquidating your best customers so revenue is preserved.

"We also show that these algorithms outperform on fairness and revenue The trilemma implies that they have to trade-off solvency for this(e.g. the exchange has to hold some bad debt on its balance sheet) But the magnitude of loss is 10x smaller with optimized ADL algorithms"
