Risk

Vets every position. Caps every exposure.

Risk is vildX's compliance and credit layer. Every position from Yield Discovery passes through a hard-coded checklist — audits, oracle quality, TVL floor, depeg history, custody model, per-position and per-protocol caps. Nothing reaches the Allocation engine without Risk's green light.

What it does

The capabilities this engine contributes.

Audit verification

Confirms each position has at least two reputable smart-contract audits, with no unresolved high-severity findings.

Oracle review

Validates oracle source, freshness, manipulation resistance, and depeg history before allowing the position into a vault.

TVL & liquidity floor

Requires minimum TVL ($25M for Prime, $5M for Frontier, $1M for Boost) and minimum daily volume for safe exit.

Per-position caps

Hard-coded maximum allocation per strategy, per protocol, and per chain — no single position can sink a vault.

Continuous monitoring

Tracks audit status, oracle health, TVL changes, and stress events daily. Failed checks trigger automatic de-allocation.

How it works

Step-by-step flow — signals in, handoff out.

  1. Receive candidate list from Engine 01 (Yield Discovery).
  2. Run the full risk checklist against each position — audits, oracles, TVL, depeg, caps.
  3. Reject anything that fails. Surface concerns to the Curator team for review.
  4. Pass the cleared list to Engine 03 (Allocation) with risk-tier metadata attached.
  5. Continuously monitor live positions and trigger Engine 04 (Rebalance) on any failure.
