Why Pascal standardizes risk logic across DeFi — and makes it auditable by default.

Intro: Protocol ≠ Black Box

In TradFi, clearinghouses have one job:

Make sure everyone plays by the same rules.

In DeFi, every protocol invents its own:

• Margin formulas that change weekly
• Custom liquidation bots
• Parameters buried in GitHub
• “Trust me” documentation

If every protocol defines risk differently, then no one in DeFi is playing the same game.

Pascal doesn’t just enforce risk — it standardizes it for the whole stack.

Custom Risk = Zero Trust

Custom logic means:

• Risk can’t be compared across platforms
• Traders can’t predict behavior
• Builders can’t reuse anything
• Margin logic becomes political
• Exposure becomes opaque

That’s not innovation.

It’s fragmentation — and it kills composability.

Pascal: One Engine, Many Protocols

Pascal is risk infrastructure, not another DeFi app.

It provides:

• A single, smart contract–based risk engine
• Shared portfolio margin across products
• Deterministic liquidation behavior
• Auditable and programmable rules
• Real-time enforcement under stress

Pascal clears risk the same way — no matter where it shows up.

Why the Ecosystem Wins

For builders:

• Plug into trusted infrastructure
• Spend zero time writing margin logic
• Get instant interoperability with other Pascal-powered protocols

For traders:

• Know what to expect before you trade
• Understand liquidation thresholds
• Compare risk across venues with confidence

Final Thought

Custom math doesn’t build trust. Shared infrastructure does.

Pascal clears risk in public —

so no one has to wonder how your protocol works under pressure.
