Risk is inherent in crypto. As DeFi matures, it deserves more nuanced risk management instruments. Pegged and correlated assets—such as stablecoins, liquid (re)staking tokens, and RWAs—are particularly in need of comprehensive risk management. Collectively, these assets represent over $300 billion in onchain credit.

Cork Protocol1 year ago

But this is only a drop in the bucket. In order for the $300 trillion of credit to continue moving onchain, it must have sufficient onchain risk-management strategies. Today in crypto, pegged assets are the most risk-prone onchain credit markets. These assets face inherent depeg risk, threatening cascading liquidations and broader market instability. That's why we built Cork.

Cork tokenizes this risk and creates a peer-to-peer marketplace where it can be traded, priced, and integrated into new financial instruments.

Cork Protocol1 year ago

Today, users have three main ways to interact with Cork: 1️⃣ Hedge: protect your portfolio against the risk of depeg events 2️⃣ Trade: trade against the risk of depeg events and benefit if a peg breaks 3️⃣ Earn: provide liquidity to Cork markets to earn fees and premiums

Cork Protocol1 year ago

Cork’s beta is launching with four asset pairs in collaboration with our launch partners, letting users hedge, trade, and earn on the depeg risks of: ✔️ stETH ✔️ eETH ✔️ USDe ✔️ USDT

Cork’s beta is now live with limited markets and will become permissionless later in 2025, fostering a growing composable ecosystem. Learn more about Cork, how it works, and how to get started:

Introducing aWETH Redemption Protocol With ETH utilization at 100% on Aave, many lenders are currently unable to withdraw and face increasing risk if markets move. aWETH Redemption Protocol allows ETH lenders to: • Exit into wstETH or weETH • Regain immediate liquidity • Reduce exposure to liquidation risk If you’re just lending ETH — you can fully exit. If you have ETH collateral and another debt — your collateral is seamlessly swapped into wstETH or weETH while your debt remains the same. We’re working alongside Lido , ether.fi, 0x, 1inch, Kyber Network, and other ecosystem partners to: • Reduce systemic risk in DeFi • Ease utilization pressure • Support a healthier DeFi market Our goal is simple: protect users while reinforcing the foundations of DeFi. Capacity is initially limited to $1B in ETH.

You’re risking everything in DeFi for a few extra % EllioTrades thinks putting money in DeFi right now is one of the worst risk/reward trades you can make. "The risk of losing all your money in exchange for a few percent is not worth it." "AI is creating a new generation of much more capable, much more damaging hacks and exploits throughout crypto."
