Every one of these exploits created downstream contagion that spread faster than any team could react. The curators who survived had automated risk infrastructure. The rest became exit liquidity.

Risk Coverage

Per-Asset Scoring Across Every Vector

Composite risk scores (0-100) for every asset in your vault, broken down by category. Updated continuously. Every score change includes a reasoning trace.

Liquidity Risk

DEX depth across venues, CEX orderbook depth, concentration metrics, and slippage modeling at various sell sizes. Know exactly how liquid every position is — not just on paper.

DEX depth Slippage Concentration Cross-venue

Contagion Risk

Cross-protocol cascade detection. When an anomaly hits — depeg, large withdrawal, oracle deviation — the engine traces the contagion path across your entire exposure map in real time.

Cascade detection Cross-protocol Exposure mapping

Smart Contract Risk

Audit status, time in production, bug bounty size, upgrade patterns, admin key controls, proxy contract monitoring. Euler passed 6 audits before losing $197M.

Oracle Risk

Cross-references every oracle feed against independent sources. Flags deviation, staleness, and manipulation patterns. The Chainlink glitch cost Moonwell $1M — nobody was validating in real time.

Counterparty Risk

Entity exposure, centralization vectors, key person risk, governance health. Tracks the people and structures behind protocols, not just the code.

Peg & Depeg Risk

Redemption mechanisms, backing composition, reserve adequacy, secondary market pricing. Monitors stablecoins and pegged assets for the early signs that precede a break.

How It Works

Forward-Deployed Into Your Stack

01
Days 1 – 30

Deploy

We connect to your vault data sources and stand up per-asset risk scoring. Live output within the month — scores, alerts, reasoning traces.

02
Days 30 – 90

Configure

We encode your risk policies, wire alerts into your workflows, and tune thresholds to your vault strategy. Your team runs it by day 90.

03
Day 90+

Expand

Layer compliance automation, AML surveillance, or security monitoring on top. One engine, compounding coverage across your entire operation.

90-day initial engagement. You see it work before signing anything long-term.

Why UV

What Makes This Different

We're not a risk consultancy. We're not a vault curator. We build the data infrastructure layer underneath.

No conflict of interest

We don't curate vaults, manage AUM, or trade. Pure risk intelligence infrastructure. No incentive to bias scores toward our own positions.

Reasoning traces on everything

Every score change includes a full reasoning trace — what changed, why it matters, what the engine considered. Structured for MiCA, DORA, and EU AI Act compliance out of the box.

Event-driven, not polling

Sub-block reaction time. A 30-second polling delay is enough time for an attacker to complete a multi-step exploit. The engine watches contract state changes as they happen.

Four years in production

The engine underneath has been running autonomous financial systems since 2022. Hundreds of millions in transactions processed. This isn't a prototype.

Any DeFi protocol

Morpho, Aave, Euler, Compound, and expanding

Multi-model reasoning

Frontier + specialized models, routed per risk vector

Your policies enforced

Configurable risk rules on every asset and action

No conflicts

No AUM, no vault curation, no trading. Pure infra.
