FAQ

User LTVs and Functions:

  • User Loan-to-Value ratios (LTVs) are the same as they were at the contract’s soft pause as per 0IP-26. This means that users will initially not be at any extra risk of liquidation due to market conditions over the previous months. Users close to their liquidation thresholds at soft pause are just as close at reopening.
  • All functions, including repayments and withdrawals, are fully operational. Users have the flexibility to manage their positions as they see fit.

Liquidity and Withdrawals:

  • The available liquidity can be recouped by users at any time as the funds have been deposited into their positions. We want to reassure all our users that there is no immediate rush to withdraw funds, although you are free to do so anytime.

Implemented Risk Mitigation Measures:

  • Advanced liquidation logic has been implemented to mitigate toxic liquidation spirals.
  • Utilizing Hexagate’s real-time exploit detection alert system that feeds into the Keom pause guardian, enables immediate response to potential exploits within the same block.
  • The token listing process incorporates advanced risk measures, thereby mitigating potential oracle exploits.

Next Steps

Upcoming Dashboard:

As part of our commitment to transparency and user support, a dedicated Dune dashboard will be made available shortly after the reopening on Polygon PoS. This dashboard will display details about losses incurred by each wallet (i.e. pre-exploit funds vs. post-exploit and haircut status) after the Polygon PoS markets have been recapitalized by the available liquidity. It will also display details about any future recovery to which the wallet is eligible. We believe this will provide clarity, valuable insights and peace of mind to our community.

Integration with Keom Protocol

In the coming days, there will be a final governance proposal aimed at completing 0VIX’s transition to Keom.

As explained in the rebranding announcement, Keom integrates 0VIX and expands it with an ambitious goal: building a full suite of AI-enhanced trading products leveraging advanced zero-knowledge technology and proactively integrating user protection standards prescribed by the latest regulations.

This integration means learning from 0VIX’s history and leveraging it to shape synergistic products providing users enhanced peace of mind. Building further is a significant step towards creating more value for the community and ultimately, allowing for recovery by users who joined the journey with 0VIX and continue it with Keom. Their early involvement allowed 0VIX to grow, be tested, and finally morph into something bigger. Their dedication and support shall be taken into account.

More information about this integration and its result for users will be shared soon.
