Resolv
Moderate risk — clever dual-tranche design, but direct exchange exposure and untested insurance mechanics during prolonged negative funding rates are real threats
Top Risks
1

2
Direct CEX counterparty exposure for short perp positions creates single-point-of-failure risk if an exchange becomes insolvent
3
RLP self-balancing incentive mechanism may fail during systemic stress when rational behavior shifts from yield-seeking to flight-to-safety
