Incident Response
RAX Protocol includes monitoring and alerting mechanisms designed to surface abnormal conditions and potential incidents.
This page describes how RAX responds to detected incidents and how users should interpret and act on related signals.
What Constitutes an Incident
An incident may include, but is not limited to:
Severe liquidity stress
Rapid increases in Risk Scores
Persistent high-severity alerts
Widespread anomalies across protocols or chains
Data integrity or infrastructure disruptions
Incidents may originate from market conditions, external protocols, or underlying infrastructure.
Detection and Notification
RAX detects incidents through a combination of:
Real-time monitoring
Risk threshold breaches
Anomaly detection
Model confidence degradation
When an incident is detected, alerts are generated according to configured severity levels and notification settings.
RAX System Response
Upon detecting an incident, RAX may:
Increase alert frequency
Highlight affected assets, protocols, or chains
Reduce model confidence where appropriate
Apply more conservative assumptions in simulations
Restrict or caution allocation suggestions
These responses are designed to surface risk clearly rather than obscure it.
User Responsibilities During an Incident
During elevated risk conditions, users are expected to:
Review alerts and supporting metrics
Avoid increasing exposure without analysis
Reassess risk constraints and strategy profiles
Use simulations to evaluate downside scenarios
Apply independent judgment and caution
RAX does not automatically execute protective actions unless explicitly configured to do so.
Communication and Transparency
Significant incidents affecting system-wide behavior may be communicated through:
In-app notifications
Documentation updates
Public communication channels
Transparency is prioritized to ensure users understand system behavior and limitations during incidents.
Limitations
Incident detection does not guarantee prevention of losses.
RAX may not detect all incidents in advance, particularly those involving novel or unprecedented conditions.
Summary
Incident response within RAX focuses on visibility, transparency, and user awareness.
By surfacing abnormal conditions and adjusting system behavior conservatively, RAX supports more informed decision-making during periods of stress.
