Structure

Markov’s curation methodology is built around three core layers:

1. Risk Framework Defines how collateral and markets are evaluated before inclusion in a vault. Further dictates how portfolios are continuously monitored. Assets are assessed and monitored for liquidity, volatility, oracle quality, and liquidation dynamics. This layer sets parameters such as liquidation loan-to-value and ensures vaults operate within clearly defined risk boundaries.

2. Allocation Engine Determines how capital is distributed across eligible markets. Uses quantitative models to forecast rates, evaluate volatility, and assess liquidity. Portfolio construction aims to maximize risk-adjusted returns while respecting constraints like utilization, liquidity, and operational costs. Allocations are regularly updated based on new market data.

3. Execution Governs how strategies are implemented operationally. Ensures correct vault configuration, reliable rebalancing, and minimized operational risk. Includes monitoring procedures, multisignature wallet management, timelocks for major parameter changes, and safeguards for transparency and security.

This three-layer structure ensures that Markov’s vaults combine rigorous risk management, systematic capital allocation, and reliable onchain execution.
