Programmable Regulatory Rules

Programmable regulatory rules are specific constraints and requirements that are encoded directly into the smart contracts governing a derivative instrument. These rules can automatically enforce things like maximum leverage limits, mandatory margin requirements, or trading restrictions for specific user types.

Because these rules are part of the protocol's code, they cannot be bypassed or ignored by participants. This creates a high level of transparency and trust, as all users know exactly what the rules are and that they are being enforced.

It is a powerful way to implement regulatory oversight in a decentralized system. This approach significantly reduces the need for external intermediaries to enforce compliance.
