Factor

As the infra layer, Factor also has a role in advancing DeFi accountability as usage drives revenues.
With greater growth, initiatives such as fee withholding or capital-at-stake models will be explored.
As Curators leverage vault protocol branding, balancing Curator responsibility with Factor reputation is an ongoing process open to community feedback.

Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.
Curators can only direct protocol emissions to their vaults by having $FCTR at stake.
Depositors receive escrowed $FCTR by providing liquidity to incentivized vaults.
$FTCR kickstarts the permissionless asset management flywheel by aligning all stakeholders.

Who’s in charge here and how much are they getting paid?
No mysterious parties or hidden fees with all roles and fees visible on a single page.
Advanced role management clearly defines vault responsibilities.

Deposit safeguards are agreed upfront and codified to prevent deviations.
By setting safeguards, Depositors are assured that Curators abide to the agreed risk parameters.
Transactions that result in the vault going above the risk tolerances are blocked.

Verifiable yields > Big APY numbers
Know where your yield comes from and whether it’s sustainable with historical data.
Depositors get access to live APY data pulled directly from on-chain sources.
Clear yield information reduces APY chasing with excessive tail end risks.

Depositors always have the right to know how their assets are utilized and key metrics (i.e. health, performance, etc.).
All vault assets and txs are on-chain and can be verified at anytime.
No waiting for weekly reports or off-chain reporting to validate capital allocations.

DeFi is pseudonymous but this doesn’t mean Curators can hide!
All Factor Curators have a public profile where Depositors can view social links and portfolio information.
No more googling Curators and researching their management activities.
The more info provided, the more likely Depositors will allow you to manage their money.

This Xmas, find out which Curator is naughty or nice!
DeFi risks are increasingly being managed by Curators vs DAOs.
