Unique Strengths of Definitive’s Approach

All strategies provided through this integration are reinforced with Definitive’s automation and risk-management tools. All Moonwell community members will benefit from real-time monitors such as:

Leverage Loan-To-Value (LTV): Ensures leverage stays within a target range and automatically rebalances the position when that range is breached, preventing any liquidation from occurring while maximizing yield for the clients risk configuration.

Relative Liquidity: A risk-control feature limiting the percentage of liquidity provided to a protocol pool. Ensures a client never becomes a large percentage of the pool, dynamically scaling position size as Moonwell’s usage evolves.

In Conclusion

Definitive’s partnership with Moonwell is a significant stride forward for DeFi on Base, enhancing Moonwell’s market position while simultaneously broadening the horizon for Definitive’s institutional users.
