Sylox

Know your issuer before it fails.

+ RISK INFRASTRUCTURE FOR STELLAR

Sylox gives every anchor issued asset on Stellar a public risk score, and a market to protect yourself if the issuer behind it breaks.

+ THE PROBLEM

One currency. Many issuers. No shared way to see which one is about to fail.

On Stellar, several companies can issue a token for the same currency. Two tokens can share a name and carry very different risk: different reserves, banking partners and track records.

Wallets list them side by side. Lenders accept them blind. Holders find out an issuer failed when their withdrawal does. Sylox turns that hidden risk into public data, and gives holders a way to protect themselves.

+ THE SCORE

Five bands. One glance.

Normal

Current illustrative score: 0, band Normal

Illustrative sample, not live data

Normal0 to 24

Signals are healthy. The peg holds, liquidity is deep, withdrawals answer.

Watch25 to 49

Something is moving. Worth a closer look before adding exposure.

Warning50 to 74

Real stress. A lender might lower how much it accepts this asset as collateral.

Distress75 to 100

Failure signals are stacking up. New cover stops when a failure is already in progress.

EventDeclared

A credit event has been declared under its published rules. Cover pays out.

+ HOW IT WORKS

Three parts. One job: make issuer risk visible and protectable.

01

Risk Oracle

A public feed with a score for every covered asset. Raw signals are shown next to every score. The formula is open, so anyone can check the math.

02

Credit Event Registry

Failure has a definition before it has a victim. Depegs and issuer freezes are checked against fixed rules, with a challenge window and a named committee for edge cases.

03

Protection Markets

One market per asset. Sellers lock USDC and earn premiums. Buyers pay upfront for cover. Payouts come from locked collateral, never from a promise.

+ FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

No. Sylox is a protocol for fully collateralized protection. Every unit of cover is backed by collateral that sellers have already locked. Protection markets will only launch where legal review allows.

The rules do. Each credit event has a published definition, checked against public data, with a challenge window. A named committee handles only the edge cases, and its reasons are published.

No. It is computed from public data with an open formula. The raw signals are shown next to every score, so you can see exactly why it is what it is.

Not yet. The contracts will be audited before anything runs on mainnet.

That is still being decided, partly through legal review. We will publish the rule before markets open.

That is the point of it. If you want to be an early reader of the feed, join the early access list and tell us what you are building.
