# Reservoir Integration

**Unlockd** uses **Reservoir** to enhance its liquidation process for RWAs and NFTs. [Reservoir](https://docs.reservoir.tools/docs/how-to-get-distribution-for-your-protocol-using-reservoir) provides a comprehensive aggregation of liquidity from various marketplaces, ensuring that Unlockd can liquidate assets quickly and efficiently at the best available price. By utilizing Reservoir's infrastructure, Unlockd benefits from:

* **Liquidity Aggregation**: Access to aggregated bids and listings from multiple major marketplaces.
* **Upgrade Protection**: Automatic updates and new features from Reservoir without additional integration work.
* **Order Distribution**: Ability to distribute and cross-post orders across various marketplaces, maximizing exposure and liquidity.

This integration allows Unlockd to manage liquidations effectively, maintaining the value and efficiency of its protocol while ensuring debt recovery and minimizing risks of bad debt​.

## Maximizing SDK-Based Integration Performance

For any project with assets supported on Unlockd, particularly if you are building liquidity features using our SDK, **integrating your protocol with Reservoir is highly recommended** for optimal performance and efficiency.&#x20;

Reservoir aggregates liquidity from multiple marketplaces, ensuring assets are liquidated at the best prices. This enhances the efficiency of Unlockd’s liquidation process, maximizing returns and minimizing undervalued sales.&#x20;

By integrating their assets with Reservoir, partners ensure that when these assets are whitelisted as collateral, the Unlockd protocol can connect to Reservoir’s liquidity. This connection ensures the entire system works smoothly when integrating via the SDK.

But there's more:

## Benefits for RWA Issuers and Marketplaces

Even independently of Unlockd, integrating Reservoir offers significant advantages for RWA issuers and marketplaces:

* For RWA issuers, integrating with Reservoir allows access to a broad network of buyers, enhancing market reach and asset visibility. Streamlined management of listings and bids through Reservoir’s infrastructure simplifies operations and increases asset liquidity and value.
* For marketplaces, integrating with Reservoir ensures access to aggregated liquidity from various sources, maximizing exposure and sale opportunities. This broadens the market for listed assets, ensuring they are sold efficiently and at the best possible prices, benefiting both the marketplace and its users.
