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.
