Risk Mitigation
Effective risk management is essential in decentralized lending, where transparency and security play a key role in protecting both lenders and borrowers. HyDRAULIC implements structured risk strategies to mitigate potential challenges in peer-to-peer (P2P) and peer-to-pool (P2Pool) lending models.
Collateralization and Valuation
Ensuring proper valuation and risk assessment of assets used as collateral is a cornerstone of risk management in HyDRAULIC.
Fixed Valuation Approach: The value of collateral is determined at loan origination and remains static throughout the loan term, ensuring predictable terms for both borrowers and lenders.
IP Valuation Oracle: An independent valuation oracle provides objective, data-driven assessments:
Unbiased Valuation: Ensures transparent and impartial pricing.
Borrower Scoring: Evaluates the borrower's creditworthiness using:
Asset Quality: Originality, marketability, and commercial potential.
Financial Health: Borrower’s financial history and credit score.
Performance History: Repayment track record of previous loans.
Insurance Mechanisms for Risk Protection
Insurance plays a critical role in minimizing risks for both borrowers and lenders. HyDRAULIC integrates multiple insurance protections:
Lender Protections:
Default Insurance: Shields lenders from borrower defaults.
Collateral Valuation Insurance: Protects against sudden decreases in asset value.
Borrower Protections:
IP Infringement Insurance: Covers legal expenses in the event of IP-related disputes.
Market Risk Insurance (P2Pool Loans): Reduces exposure to market volatility for pooled lending participants.
Smart Contract Protections:
Security Insurance: Insures total value locked in the smart contract and protocol to protect the ecosystem in the unlikely event of a security breach.
Admin IP NFT Issuance: Issuance Manager retains the ability to re-issue IP NFTs in legitimate cases post due diligence, protecting owners from potential Web3 issues.
Smart Contract Security & Auditability
Security vulnerabilities in smart contracts can pose significant risks in decentralized finance. HyDRAULIC enforces strict security measures to protect user assets and platform integrity:
Third-Party Audits: Regular security audits are conducted, and audit reports are made publicly available on-chain.
Bug Bounty Program: Encourages the community to identify and report potential vulnerabilities.
Continuous Upgrades: Smart contracts undergo iterative updates and enhancements, with all modifications logged transparently.
Ongoing Risk Monitoring & Adaptive Management
HyDRAULIC continuously tracks platform activity and adjusts risk parameters in response to real-time data.
Real-Time Monitoring: Loan performance, borrower behavior, and market conditions are actively tracked on-chain.
Early Warning Systems: Automated alerts notify stakeholders of potential issues such as loan defaults or market fluctuations.
Dynamic Risk Adjustments: Risk models are adapted based on evolving data trends.
Specific implementation details and insurance policy terms will be elaborated in subsequent documentation.
