Why most DeFi projects are accidental clearinghouses — and why Pascal exists to end that.

Intro: You Built a Product. Then You Became a Risk Desk.

Most DeFi teams don’t realize it until it’s too late.

You launch a vault, a perp, an options engine.

Then you start tweaking margin formulas.

You start running liquidation bots.

You start getting blamed when users blow up.

You thought you were building a product. But you became a clearinghouse.

And you’re not equipped for it.

Pascal exists to take risk off your hands — and put it where it belongs: in code, at the protocol layer.

The Hidden Risk Burden on DeFi Teams

Today, every DeFi builder is carrying invisible weight:

• Designing collateral thresholds
• Managing liquidation systems
• Updating parameters during volatility
• Explaining risk logic to confused users
• Absorbing reputation damage when something breaks

You’re not just shipping product.

You’re underwriting risk.

That’s not sustainable — or scalable.

Pascal Removes Risk from Your To-Do List

Pascal is not a tool.

It’s the clearing engine your protocol integrates — once.

From there:

• Portfolio margin is handled
• Liquidations are enforced on-chain
• Logic is composable and transparent
• Risk parameters are inherited, not invented
• Your product just works — without becoming a liability

Why Builders Finally Get to Focus

For builders:

• Stop writing and maintaining margin code
• Offload enforcement to on-chain infrastructure
• Scale faster with composability, not complexity

For users:

• Get predictable behavior
• Trust that risk logic is impartial and tested
• Escape governance-driven margin policy chaos

Final Thought

You’re not a clearinghouse. Stop acting like one.
