Trade with Margin Account

The section below illustrates the workflow that can be triggered only by Asset Managers to trade on whitelisted protocols using a Margin Account.

Arkis aims to provide a seamless trading experience for Asset Managers. The infrastructure operates in a non-intrusive manner, serving as a risk management layer rather than acting as a middleman.

The Margin Account implements the concept of account abstraction and functions as a wallet with an integrated safety layer for both lenders and borrowers. It securely holds funds and governs all trading operations executed by the Asset Manager, preventing unauthorised or suspicious activity.

To safeguard against potential losses, the Arkis Risk Management system must be able to liquidate a Margin Account at any time. Several critical safeguards have been implemented:

• Strict control over allowed operations and supported tokens, ensuring Asset Managers cannot interact with untrusted or illiquid protocols and pools.

• Exclusion of unsafe connectors and operators to prevent backdoor vulnerabilities that could allow an Asset Manager to drain the Margin Account via compromised protocols.

• Protection of close and withdrawal operations by the Risk Management system to prevent race conditions between legitimate closure and attempts to bypass liquidation.

Despite these controls, Arkis ensures that the trading experience remains unaffected. Through WalletConnect integration, Asset Managers can interact with DeFi protocols’ native WebUIs as usual—seamlessly connecting their Arkis Margin Account via WalletConnect.
