Byzantine removes market risk, bank counterparty risk, and borrower default risk through over-collateralisation and automated liquidation. The primary remaining risk is technical — related to smart-contract or protocol infrastructure. This is mitigated through multiple audits, continuous monitoring, automated kill-switches, and an optional Aon insurance policy that can compensate for covered technical incidents.
Yes. All loans are over-collateralised and positions are liquidated automatically if collateral value deteriorates. This structure eliminates borrower default risk. Technical risk remains but can be optionally insured through Aon.
Withdrawals have no lockup and typically settle within minutes. During high-activity periods, settlement may take slightly longer as liquidity buffers refill, but the process remains intraday. Treasurers retain continuous access to their funds.
Client assets sit in segregated on-chain vaults and never touch Byzantine’s balance sheet. Even in an operational disruption, treasury assets remain accessible through the underlying smart contracts, supported by continuity procedures.
No. Byzantine does not invest in rate-sensitive instruments such as T-bills or MMFs. Yield is driven by short-term liquidity demand from over-collateralised borrowers. Credit markets cannot produce negative yields, and the worst historical monthly performance has remained positive.
Treasuries receive clear statements, real-time dashboards, and monthly reports for accounting and audit purposes. All transactions are on-chain and fully traceable, simplifying reconciliation with existing finance systems.
