# Liquidations

While we run our own bots for ensuring that liquidations occur smoothly, users are also incentivised to the same, as every liquidation might be a healthy source of profit, since each liquidation comes with a [liquidation incentive](https://compound.finance/docs/comptroller#liquidation-incentive).

The source code for the liquidation bots we run is fully open-sourced, and it leverages heavily the SDK. Users are welcomed to fork it and run their own liquidation bots.

Check it out in our [monorepo](https://github.com/ionicprotocol/monorepo).
