Cinderline Perps

Perpetual futures against a shared liquidity pool.

Traders open leveraged perpetual positions against a pooled counterparty. Funding rates balance long and short open interest; keepers execute orders using signed oracle prices.

Risk Index

How the score is built

Six weighted components, each scored 0–100 where higher means less risk. Points are the component value multiplied by its weight; the gap is what the component costs against a perfect score.

Risk factors

What keeps the score from being higher, most severe first.
  • MediumEconomic SecurityProfile analysis

    Pool exposure to trader skew

    LPs take the other side of net trader positions; a strongly skewed market can move pool value quickly.

  • LowCode SecurityProfile analysis

    Price latency window

    Accepting prices up to 60 seconds old leaves room for latency arbitrage in volatile markets.

Recommendations

Each recommendation raises one component to a target value. The score effect is recomputed with the Risk Index model, holding every other component fixed.
  • Code Security: 82 → 86

    Shorter price validity

    Reduce signed-price validity to 15 seconds.

    +1.2

    → 82.1

  • Economic Security: 78 → 84

    Skew-dependent funding caps

    Raise funding faster as skew grows and cap OI per side.

    +0.9

    → 81.8
