Preservation and liquidity
Supply-first strategies, mature integrations, higher reserves and tighter concentration.
Risk & transparency
Simple profiles. Measurable constraints.
Jethos aims to simplify risk without hiding it. Conservative, Balanced and Advanced are interfaces over quantitative rules—not labels of safety.
Controlled complexity
Selected composed strategies and moderate concentration under defined limits.
Higher complexity
Potential leverage or hedging only after strategy-specific validation and hard limits.
What risk analysis must cover
Smart contracts
Audits, maturity, incidents, upgrades and bug bounties.
Markets
TVL, utilization, available liquidity and concentration.
Assets & oracles
Depeg, wrappers, issuers, staleness and manipulation.
Operations
Keepers, keys, monitoring, replay and emergency procedures.
Net, not nominal
Headline APY is only one input.
Allocation decisions should consider expected return after fees, gas, slippage and liquidity, then apply protocol, market and strategy caps.

Eligible opportunityExpected
Risk cannot be eliminated. Smart contracts, protocols, assets, oracles, wrapped representations, sequencers and operational systems can fail. Liquidity can disappear and an expected hedge can break.
Data provenance
Read from chain, with timestamp and readable failure state.
Recorded locally and linked to the explorer, but not assumed current.
Used to explain product concepts, never presented as an account value.
What this means in practice
Risk changes the route.
Liquidity falls
A conservative policy should stop increasing exposure, preserve reserve and show that withdrawal may require unwinding.
An oracle becomes stale
Price-dependent actions should stop or enter quarantine rather than assume the last value is safe.
A protocol deteriorates
New allocation should be disabled while withdrawal and repay paths remain available where technically possible.
