Risk Overview

The Risk Overview provides a high-level view of current DeFi market conditions as observed by RAX Protocol.

It is designed to answer a single question:

  • What is the current risk environment?

This view helps users establish situational awareness before analyzing portfolios or making allocation decisions.


What the Risk Overview Shows

The Risk Overview aggregates multiple system-level indicators into a single, coherent view.

Key elements include:

  • Global Risk Score

  • Market volatility indicators

  • Detected AI anomalies

  • Monitored liquidity and TVL distribution

  • Recent changes in risk conditions

Together, these signals describe the overall stability and stress level of the DeFi environment.


Global Risk Score

The Global Risk Score summarizes relative market risk across supported chains and protocols.

Lower values indicate more stable conditions.

Higher values indicate elevated or deteriorating conditions.

The Global Risk Score should be interpreted as a contextual signal, not a prediction.


Market Volatility

Volatility indicators reflect the magnitude and persistence of price and yield fluctuations.

Rising volatility often precedes:

  • Liquidity stress

  • Increased liquidation risk

  • Correlated market movements

Volatility metrics help users assess whether current conditions favor defensive positioning or opportunistic allocation.


AI Anomalies

Anomalies highlight deviations from expected behavior detected by RAX models.

Examples include:

  • Unusual liquidity movements

  • Abrupt yield changes

  • Inconsistent oracle or pricing signals

Anomalies are early warning indicators and do not necessarily imply loss or failure.


Liquidity and TVL Monitoring

The Risk Overview includes visibility into the distribution of monitored TVL across chains and protocols.

Changes in liquidity concentration may signal:

  • Capital migration

  • Emerging dependencies

  • Increased systemic risk

Understanding where liquidity is concentrated helps contextualize other risk signals.


How to Use the Risk Overview

The Risk Overview is best used to:

  • Establish a baseline understanding of market conditions

  • Identify periods of elevated risk or instability

  • Decide whether to proceed with deeper analysis

  • Adjust monitoring frequency and alert sensitivity

It is typically the first step before reviewing portfolio-level metrics.


Limitations

The Risk Overview does not:

  • Replace detailed protocol analysis

  • Identify optimal strategies

  • Predict market direction

It provides context, not conclusions.


Summary

The Risk Overview is a situational awareness tool.

It helps users understand the current risk environment at a glance, enabling more informed and disciplined decision-making throughout the RAX system.
