From Learning to the Platform
You already know everything you need
Across these modules you've learned:
This is a solid foundation. With this knowledge you can already read your own position and understand what's happening inside it. Tools just speed up what you already know how to do β it's like already having the map, and now getting a car as well.
The problem: doing everything by hand
Strategy B has a lot of moving parts. Here's what you'd need to watch every day:
That's 6 different sources. Every single day. 30-60 minutes of work.
What monitoring lets you catch in time
What matters most isn't the market itself β it's how fast you react. When LTVLTVLoan-to-Value β the ratio of debt to collateral value. LTV 30% is considered safe. LTV 71%+ triggers liquidation.Read the lesson β starts climbing, you want to see it the same day, not two days later. When a PutPutAn option type that grants the right to SELL at a set price. Used as insurance.Read the lesson β has 7 days left, you want a reminder. When the LPLPLiquidity Provider β deposits tokens into a pool and earns a share of trading fees.Read the lesson β goes out of range, you want to know immediately, not three days later. These are all simple, repeating signals, and catching them is a skill you build through a system β reminders, a checklist, or a platform.
What DeFi Risk OS automates
1. Real-time LTV monitoring
The platform connects to Kamino and Aave and shows you, in real time:
- Your current LTVLTVLoan-to-Value β the ratio of debt to collateral value. LTV 30% is considered safe. LTV 71%+ triggers liquidation.Read the lesson β percentage with color coding (green/yellow/red)
- The liquidation price
- The distance to liquidation
- Alerts when LTVLTVLoan-to-Value β the ratio of debt to collateral value. LTV 30% is considered safe. LTV 71%+ triggers liquidation.Read the lesson β crosses your limits
Instead of: opening KaminoKaminoSolana lending protocol. In our strategy: SOL collateral to a USDC loan.Read the lesson β/AaveAaveEthereum lending protocol (v3). In our strategy: ETH collateral to a USDC loan.Read the lesson β every day and calculating it by hand.
2. Net delta calculation
The platform gathers the delta of every position and shows a single number:
- CollateralCollateralThe asset you deposit in order to borrow. In DeFi this is typically crypto (SOL, ETH).Read the lesson β delta (from lending)
- LPLPLiquidity Provider β deposits tokens into a pool and earns a share of trading fees.Read the lesson β delta (from Orca)
- OptionsOptionA financial contract that grants the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell at a set price.Read the lesson β delta (from DeribitDeribitA crypto options exchange. In our strategy this is where we buy put protection and sell covered calls.Read the lesson β)
- Net delta and directional percentage β right at the top of the screen
Instead of: recalculating it in a spreadsheet every time the price moves.
3. Options alerts
| Alert | When | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| RollRollRolling an option β closing the old one and opening a new one with a later expiry.Read the lesson β window | 30 days left | Start rolling the PutPutAn option type that grants the right to SELL at a set price. Used as insurance.Read the lesson β |
| Approaching expiry | 14 days left | If not rolled yet β act quickly |
| Last day | 1 day left | Close it or let it expire |
| CallCallAn option type that grants the right to BUY at the strike price. The opposite of a put.Read the lesson β assignment risk | StrikeStrikeAn option's exercise price. A $90 put means the right to sell at $90.Read the lesson β is approaching | Prepare to sell SOLSOLSolana's native token. Used to pay gas and as collateral.Read the lesson β |
Instead of: calendar reminders and manually checking DeribitDeribitA crypto options exchange. In our strategy this is where we buy put protection and sell covered calls.Read the lesson β.
4. Scenario analysis
One click shows you what happens if the price:
- Drops 10%, 20%, 30%, 60%
- Rises 20%, 50%, 100%
For each scenario: new LTVLTVLoan-to-Value β the ratio of debt to collateral value. LTV 30% is considered safe. LTV 71%+ triggers liquidation.Read the lesson β, options profit/loss, LPLPLiquidity Provider β deposits tokens into a pool and earns a share of trading fees.Read the lesson β profit/loss, whether you'd be liquidated.
Instead of: complicated spreadsheet formulas.
5. Breakeven tracking
In real time:
BREAKEVEN: LP needs >=46% per year
Now: ~68% | Coverage: 1.48x
||||||||||||||||||||||_______ Healthy
Instead of: calculating and comparing this by hand.
6. Weekly cycle checklist
Every Friday the platform shows:
- Collect LPLPLiquidity Provider β deposits tokens into a pool and earns a share of trading fees.Read the lesson β fees
- Move SOLSOLSolana's native token. Used to pay gas and as collateral.Read the lesson β fees to CollateralCollateralThe asset you deposit in order to borrow. In DeFi this is typically crypto (SOL, ETH).Read the lesson β
- Move USDCUSDCA USD stablecoin issued by Circle. Regulated, audited monthly. Our primary stablecoin and loan asset in the Kamino/Aave strategies.Read the lesson β fees to the Insurance Vault
- Check LTVLTVLoan-to-Value β the ratio of debt to collateral value. LTV 30% is considered safe. LTV 71%+ triggers liquidation.Read the lesson β
- Check options dates
- Review breakeven
Each step comes with a button and a confirmation.

Thank you for learning with us
DeFiDeFiDecentralized Finance β financial services without intermediaries, operating through smart contracts.Read the lesson β Risk OS's mission is to make complex portfolio management accessible to everyone. These lessons are just the beginning.
If you have questions or suggestions β reach out. Your feedback shapes the product.
Good luck managing risk, not just your portfolio.
Before trusting a tool, it's worth understanding what it's doing for you. This is a paper task β write out your manual monitoring process and find its weak points (~15 min).
This is learning, not investing β use only small amounts you treat as tuition.
You just laid out your own monitoring system and named exactly where it could break β that's the kind of planning that separates people who manage a strategy calmly from those who react too late.
