On-Chain Risk Management

Definition

On-chain risk management involves the implementation of automated, transparent risk control mechanisms directly within a blockchain protocol through smart contracts. These systems monitor parameters such as collateralization ratios, liquidity levels, and market volatility to trigger protective actions, like liquidations or adjustments to interest rates. It provides a decentralized and auditable approach to mitigating financial exposure within decentralized finance applications. This ensures protocol stability through automated controls.
