# Risk Curators Program

Risk Curators are professionals invited to Nuon's decentralized governance

## Risk Curator Program Documentation

The **Risk Curator Program** is a governance initiative designed to bring experienced DeFi strategists into the Nuon portfolio management process. Risk Curators are responsible for assessing protocol-level risks of DeFi assets and shaping yield strategies that improve Nuon's long-term stability and sustainability.

### **Purpose**

The program selects and assigns governance responsibilities to a group of highly qualified Risk Curators. These individuals play a critical role in evaluating asset allocation proposals and vaults and helping the protocol navigate complex DeFi environments in exchange for an additional share of rewards. 

### **Token Allocation**

* **Total Allocation:** 2% of the MaxCap token supply is reserved for the Risk Curator Program.
* **Participation Cap:** Limited to **10 curators** to ensure focused, high-quality input.
* **Token Lock:** Curators receive locked tokens with full voting power for a duration of **1 year**.

This structure ensures long-term alignment and active participation from highly capable portfolio and risk managers.

### **Participation Requirements**

Risk Curators are expected to:

* Engage in major governance discussions.
* Actively follow and vote on proposed asset allocations.
* Provide expert advice on asset allocations and risk parameters.

### **Selection Criteria**

Risk Curators are selected through a rigorous evaluation process. Candidates are assessed based on:

* Demonstrated expertise in DeFi risk and strategy.
* Public thought leadership (e.g., high-quality contributions on platforms like Twitter).
* Direct interviews with the Nuon team to evaluate alignment and insight.

Only individuals with a proven track record and clear understanding of protocol-level risks are invited to participate.

### Summary

The Risk Curator Program is a foundational component of Nuon’s governance model. By incorporating seasoned DeFi professionals into critical decision-making, Nuon aims to maintain a secure, scalable, and sustainable protocol.
