Institutional Risk Disclosures

Important disclosures for regulated entities and institutional participants.

This section outlines specific risks and disclosures relevant to financial institutions, professional investors, and regulated participants engaging with the OLTA protocol.


Non-Custodial Infrastructure

  • OLTA does not custody user funds directly. Institutions must interact via supported wallets or through integrated custodial partners.

  • Some offchain execution may occur when routing asset acquisition through centralized exchanges (CEXs) for liquidity purposes.

  • OLTA assumes no liability for private key loss, wallet mismanagement, or custodial failures by third-party providers.


Protocol Risk Model

  • OLTA index strategies are primarily rule-based and transparent, with all index logic executed via smart contracts.

  • However, some operational steps such as offchain execution on CEXs for liquidity optimization are partially automated and supervised.

  • Rebalancing rules, asset weighting, and fund parameters are transparently published and periodically auditable by governance.


Risk Controls in Place

OLTA employs a number of risk-mitigating features including:

  • Real-time NAV transparency and oracle smoothing (TWAP/VWAP)

  • Asset eligibility filters and slippage-aware acquisition

  • Emergency rebalancing and governance exclusion procedures

Despite these protections, institutional users should not consider OLTA a risk-free infrastructure.


Regulatory Alignment

  • OLTA is designed around a USDC-native model to support transparency and fiat-pegged settlement.

  • KYC/KYB measures are enforced via integration with third-party compliance providers.

  • Tax Responsibility: OLTA does not provide tax reporting services. Participating institutions are fully responsible for assessing, calculating, and reporting their own tax liabilities in accordance with applicable jurisdictions.

  • Institutions remain responsible for their own reporting and supervisory obligations. While OLTA may offer optional regulatory reporting dashboards in the future, these are not a substitute for an institution’s internal compliance and supervisory systems. All reporting obligations remain with the institutional participant.
