Safety Parameters

Net Exposure Tolerance:

  • Description: the smart contract would check the vault’s net exposure before vs. immediately after the manager’s action and not allow any hedging transaction that would make the net exposure of the vault worse off. For example, a market-neutral vault would want a 0 exposure on BNB. If the current exposure is slightly long BNB, then a manager would not be allowed to make a hedging transaction that would increase the BNB exposure.

  • Value: 0%

Note: this check does not apply to the “borrow more” transaction where the vault manager increases the leverage of the vault.

Swap Price Impact Tolerance:

  • Description: we will set a price impact tolerance on a swap (e.g., hedging, etc.) If a swap transaction has a price impact greater than the set percentage value, the transaction will be reverted.

  • Value: 1.0%

Max Leverage:

  • Description: We expect normal operation to run between 2–3x leverage. We will set a leverage limit for the vault, beyond which would not allow for the manager to borrow more assets.

  • Value: 8x

Equity Change Tolerance:

  • Description: The equity tolerance acts as a final safety check that the transaction performed by a manager is safe. It will check the % change in equity before vs. immediately after the transaction and will revert the transaction if the % loss is too high.

  • Value: 0.25%
