Risk framework
Vadium's risk model is designed around the fact that tokenized RWAs inherit risks from both the blockchain environment and the underlying real-world market structure.
| Risk | Why it matters | Initial control |
|---|---|---|
| Market gaps | Positions can move sharply while the underlying venue is closed | Lower leverage, carry stress, hard caps |
| Oracle failure | Bad or stale prices can authorize unsafe actions | Freshness checks, sequencer checks, pause states |
| Execution failure | A valid price does not guarantee unwind liquidity | Multiple RFQ makers, size limits, fallbacks |
| Issuer / custodian concentration | Many assets can share the same operational stack | Aggregate issuer caps and registry controls |
| Inventory shortage | Cash collateral does not create RWA inventory | Natural suppliers plus separate inventory facilities |
| Smart-contract risk | Custom sessions and buy-ins increase complexity | Modular scope, guarded launch, audits |
| Legal / transfer restrictions | Eligibility can differ by asset and jurisdiction | Asset-specific controls and public disclosures |
