LP Risks

Economic Risk (Negative Pool Days)

Traders might make money systematically.

Scenario:

  • Market conditions favor traders

  • High win rate (65%+) across all trades

  • LP capital decreases week-over-week

Protection:

  • Protocol fee: 5% of trading fees → insurance fund

  • Insurance fund: Covers shortfalls first

  • Haircut: Major drawdown = hair-cut across all LPs

Typical Pool Performance:

  • Expected ROI: 15-25% APY (long-term average)

  • Variance: 5-10% monthly swings

  • Drawdown tolerance: -15% max in bad months
