Risk Is a Public Good

The most valuable logic in DeFi shouldn’t be private.

🧠 The Black Box Kills Trust

Every DeFi protocol wants you to trust their math.

But when:

  • Margin rules are buried inside vault contracts
  • Liquidations happen off-chain, behind closed doors
  • Risk engines are unauditable, or proprietary

You haven’t built infrastructure.

You’ve built a black box.

And black boxes don’t scale trust.

Risk isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation. Pascal makes it public infrastructure — available to all.

🚨 The Hidden Centralization in “Decentralized” Protocols

Even the most well-meaning DeFi apps still:

  • Reinvent custom, incompatible risk models
  • Obscure margin mechanics from users
  • Prevent composability across protocols
  • Create unauditable systems for liquidation and exposure

That’s not DeFi.

It’s closed risk in open wrappers — and it erodes trust protocol by protocol, user by user.

🛠️ Pascal: Risk Infrastructure for Everyone

Pascal changes the game:

  • One unified, transparent margin model
  • On-chain liquidation logic (not off-chain bots)
  • Cross-protocol portfolio risk management
  • Composable APIs for anyone to build with
  • Audit-ready by design

No more proprietary risk logic.

No more fragmented trust.

Pascal turns risk into shared, neutral infrastructure — the way it should’ve always been.

🤝 Builders and Traders Win Together

For Builders:

  • Skip writing your own risk code
  • Build on audited, trusted clearing logic
  • Empower users with transparency

For Traders:

  • Know how your margin works — upfront
  • Audit protocol risk before deploying capital
  • Trade across systems, not inside silos

💥 Final Word

“Private risk logic is just a ticking time bomb.” Pascal makes risk a public good — so everyone plays by the same rules That’s not just better DeFi. That’s real infrastructure.
