Whitelisted Assets

PreviousMargin AccountNextCollateral Asset

Last updated 1 day ago

Whitelisted Assets are the set of pre-approved tokens and financial instruments that can be used within the Arkis ecosystem—whether as collateral, for trading, or for borrowing/lending purposes. Only these assets are permitted for operations within , and Vaults to ensure security, liquidity, and risk control.

Key Properties of Whitelisted Assets

  • Collateral Eligibility: Assets must pass Arkis DAO Risk Assesment to be accepted as collateral within Margin Accounts.

  • Liquidity Requirements: Assets must maintain sufficient onchain liquidity and low slippage under stress scenarios (e.g., must be liquidatable with <5% slippage via 1inch or supported DEX aggregators).

  • Transparency & Monitoring: All whitelisted assets are continuously monitored for price volatility, market depth, and protocol risk.

  • Permissioned Use: Asset Managers can only interact with whitelisted tokens inside Margin Accounts, and Liquidity Pools can define a specific subset of those whitelisted assets per pool.

Examples of Whitelisted Assets

  • Stablecoins: USDC, USDT, sUSDe, lvlUSD

  • Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs): EtherFi, Renzo, KelpDAO

  • BTC-related Tokens: wBTC, BTC-based LRTs like Solv, Lombard

  • Yield-bearing Assets: Pendle PT tokens, Curve LP tokens, Resolv USR/stUSR/RLP

  • Miscellaneous: Any ERC-20 token meeting liquidity criteria and any liquid Curve LP token

Per-Pool Customization

Each Liquidity Pool can define its own:

  • Subset of allowed Whitelisted Assets

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios

  • Stress-tested valuation thresholds

  • Protocol-level usage restrictions (e.g., no yield farming with highly volatile tokens)
