Deficit Mutualization Framework

Mechanism

The deficit mutualization framework functions as a collective loss-sharing protocol within crypto derivatives exchanges to mitigate counterparty risk during extreme market volatility. This architecture mandates that the losses incurred by bankrupt accounts, which exceed their initial collateral, are socialized across the remaining profitable traders on the platform. By absorbing these deficits through a proportional deduction from gainers, the exchange maintains systemic solvency without relying on external capital injections.
