Collateral Registry Integrity

Collateral registry integrity is the requirement that the ledger of all locked collateral remains accurate, tamper-proof, and synchronized across the entire protocol. This registry is the backbone of any lending or derivative system; if it is compromised, the protocol's solvency is in question.

Risks to this integrity include unauthorized access, bugs in the registry logic, or state inconsistencies during high-volume periods. Maintaining this integrity requires strict access controls and audit trails for every deposit and withdrawal.

If the registry becomes desynchronized, the protocol may miscalculate health factors, leading to premature liquidations or allowing under-collateralized positions to persist. It is a critical component of system-wide risk management.
