Key Risk Metrics & Formulas
The core risk metrics and formulas used by the Breeze Risk Engine
Utilization Ratio=Total DepositsTotal Borrows
Low utilization (<50%)
Low yield, excessive idle liquidity
Optimal utilization (50-80%)
Balanced lending efficiency
High utilization (>80%)
Increased withdrawal risks, higher liquidation chances
Liquidations at Risk=∑(Borrowers Below Liquidation Threshold×Borrow Amount)
OR (if borrower data unavailable)
Liquidation Risk=Collateral FactorTotal Borrows×(Utilization Ratio−Safe Utilization Threshold)
Identifies borrowers at risk of liquidation due to market volatility.
Safe Utilization Threshold is typically set at 70-80%.
VaR=Total Assets×Price Volatility Factor×Confidence Level (Z-score)
Example (95% confidence, stable asset volatility ~5%):
VaR=∑(Asset Supply×Volatility Factor×1.65)
Ensures liquidity reserves align with potential market movements.
Borrow Usage=Max Borrowing PowerTotal Borrows
Higher borrow usage = greater liquidation sensitivity
Used to determine capital efficiency and adjust pool weights dynamically.
Spread=Borrow APR−Supply APR
- Narrow Spread: Efficient capital allocation.
- Wide Spread: Possible liquidity inefficiencies.
