Insurance Fund
Detailing the coverage and strategy of the Parallel Insurance Fund
Summary
Introduced with MIP-28┃Ratify the Parallel Insurance Fund and updated with PGP-31 | Update Insurance Fund Strategy the Insurance Fund is covering losses in case of shortfall events:
Smart contract risk: Risk of a bug, design flaw or potential attack surfaces on the smart contract layer.
Liquidation risk: Risk of failure of an asset that is being used as collateral on Parallel; risk of liquidators not capturing liquidation opportunities in a timely manner, or low market liquidity of the principal asset to be repaid.
Oracle failure risk: Risk of the oracle system not properly updating the prices in case of extreme market downturn and network congestion; risk of the Oracle system not properly submitting prices, causing improper liquidations.
Rules
The DAO must decide, via governance votes, which deployment is covered, which chain is covered, or not, by the insurance fund, and at which % or $ value of the insurance fund the deployment & chain are covered.
Assets held in the insurance fund must be liquid under a 16 weeks period.
For Parallel V2: At least 10k PAR for PAR deployments and 1k paUSD for paUSD deployments must stay in the vaultsCore to cover very short term potential bad debts.
DAO Multisig signers will have the right to rebalance assets from the deployed insurance fund to vaultsCore contracts in order to always have enough assets to cover very short term bad debts.
The DAO approved to cover Parallel V2 with PAR & paUSD deployment on Ethereum and Polygon PoS; Parallel V3 with USDp deployment on Ethereum, Base, Sonic & HyperEVM; and PRL token on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Sonic & Polygon PoS. All this to up to 100% of the insurance fund.
