Risk Parameters

Definition

Risk Parameters in decentralized finance are configurable settings within smart contracts that govern the level of exposure to various financial risks for users and the protocol itself. These parameters include collateral ratios, liquidation thresholds, interest rate models, and maximum loan-to-value limits. They are adjusted by governance mechanisms to maintain protocol stability and protect against market volatility. Careful calibration of these parameters is essential for managing systemic risk.
