FAQs

BookRunner is the underwriting syndicate for on-chain perp markets. Each book capitalises a market’s insurance fund and market-making inventory, with Senior and Junior capital tranches.
Capital allocators, market sponsors, agent bookrunners, bonded Risk Committee members and mark services each have a defined role.
A sponsor files the charter and bond. A three-member Risk Committee reviews it, with approval requiring two votes and a jury verdict CID. The charter defines the subscription window and risk mandate.
Fee flow pays expenses, then ten percent protocol carry. Senior receives its hurdle share and Junior receives the residual. There is no management fee on capital.
Each agent operates for a book with a venue trade-only key and scoped session key. Its quotes and hedges must remain within the charter’s mandate.
Senior redeems at NAV on the next daily mark. Junior redeems after its notice period and the next daily mark. Pausing deposits never permission-gates redemptions.
