USDai Risks & Mitigants

Yield from infrastructure credit comes with risk. USDai uses layered controls intended to reduce credit, collateral, operational and liquidity risks rather than relying on a single safeguard.

Economic Risk Controls

ControlPurpose
Loan-to-value limitsMaintain an equity buffer against collateral value changes.
Debt service reservesProvide a payment buffer during operational or cash-flow delays.
AmortizationReduce principal exposure as loans are repaid.
Redemption mechanicsMatch depositor liquidity with the timing of underlying assets.

Borrower SPVs, security agreements, liens and control arrangements are used to establish enforceable rights over financed hardware and related cash flows.

Physical collateral monitoring and insurance can add additional protection, subject to the terms and limits of each arrangement.

Operational & Governance Controls

Loan eligibility, servicing logic, protocol roles and governance parameters are separated so that operational actions remain bounded by disclosed rules and permissions.

Important

Risk cannot be eliminated. Yield is not guaranteed, collateral values can change, borrowers can default and redemption timing can extend when capital is deployed into illiquid loans.
