@Lorenzo Protocol $BANK #LorenzoProtocol

If you ask me:

What makes most stablecoin projects not die on the day of the crash, but rather die at the moment users “no longer trust its risk model”?

My answer is simple:

The uncertainty of risk parameters.

The stablecoin system is not like a DEX, not like a lending protocol; it is a 'currency system'.

The first principle of a currency system is always:

Every parameter must be predictable.

Every boundary must be reasoned.

Every change must have a logical basis.

Every risk must be known in advance.

Users are not afraid of volatility.

What users fear is —

"I do not know when the system will have problems."

Panic does not start from losses.

But it starts from 'not knowing if there will be losses.'

This is why the stablecoin track has changed since 2022.

Increasingly emphasizing the transparency, predictability, and interpretability of risk parameters.

And Lorenzo performs very well in this part.

It did not make the parameters fancy, did not create a 'highly intelligent dynamic parameter adjustment system,' nor did it create a complex risk matrix.

What it does is an extremely simple but extremely professional system:

Parameters must be understandable, calculable, and stable.

In this article, I will break down three things:

Why are risk parameters more important in the stablecoin system than in any protocol?

Why is Lorenzo's risk parameter system healthier?

Why is 'predictability' Lorenzo's underlying advantage that distinguishes it from most competitors?

Part one: The risks of stablecoins do not come from the market, but from the opacity of parameters.

The death of all on-chain stablecoins is not because 'the market is too bad.'

But rather because:

Parameter response lags.

Parameters are updated frequently.

Parameter logic is inconsistent.

Parameters are unexplainable.

Parameters adjusted manually lead to uncertainty.

These issues are fundamentally not 'technical issues,'

But rather a 'credit issue.'

Stablecoins are liabilities.

The credit of liabilities comes from users' expectations of system behavior.

As long as parameters are unstable, users have no expectations,

Without expectations, there is no stability.

For example:

Many protocols' liquidation parameters may be temporarily modified due to changes in market trends.

This kind of behavior is almost equivalent to telling users:

"We do not know if this system is stable; please help us bet on it."

And Lorenzo's approach is:

System parameters have been designed since Day 1 to be 'operable even in the worst-case scenario.'

So there is no need for temporary firefighting.

Nor will it suddenly change due to short-term market fluctuations.

Predictability = credit.

Part two: The more complex the parameters, the more fragile the system; the more transparent the parameters, the more stable the system.

Some stablecoin projects will promote:

"We have dynamic parameter adjustment capabilities."

"Our model can automatically respond to risks."

"We have a complex risk matrix."

Sounds smart,

But those who truly understand the financial system know —

The more complex the parameters, the easier it is for the system to 'freeze' in extreme markets.

Why?

In extreme markets, all complexities will turn into failure boundaries.

Dynamic models require oracles.

Oracles need time.

Time lags create risks.

Risk reflexivity causes chain reactions of collapse.

This is why UST is 'algorithmically perfect but cannot be executed.'

This is also why FRAX has a 'strong model but is hard to predict under pressure.'

This is also why MIM has 'considerable collateral but too strong reflexivity.'

And Lorenzo's parameter system is 'simple + executable + reproducible':

Fixed collateral rate range.

Liquidation discounts are predictable.

Risk weight logic is visible in advance.

The parameter triggering conditions are clear and transparent.

Does not rely on complex dynamic parameter adjustments.

This type of system has a huge advantage:

It will not suddenly turn into another system under pressure.

Part three: A predictable parameter system = a non-reflexive system.

Reflexivity is the fundamental risk of the stablecoin system.

All collapses are caused by reflexivity:

Price drop → insufficient collateral → liquidation → credit decline → more liquidations.

And the main reason for the enhancement of reflexivity is:

Parameters are unpredictable.

Once parameters cannot be predicted in advance,

Participants tend to 'run first.'

leading the system into a panic mode.

But Lorenzo's parameter system is inherently reflexive:

All parameter boundaries are public.

All liquidation conditions can be calculated in advance.

All yield boundaries can be simulated in advance.

All risk weights will not change suddenly.

Users will not panic due to 'unknown risks.'

Only the executable logic of 'known risks.'

Part four: Why does the parameter system affect the expansion ability of stablecoins?

Expansion sounds unrelated to risk parameters, but in reality —

Transparent risk parameters = users are willing to borrow more.

Predictable risk parameters = liquidity providers are willing to stay long-term.

Clear risk boundaries = protocols do not need to use incentives to attract users.

Stable liquidation logic = institutional liquidity will come in.

For stablecoins to scale, it is not about issuing tokens frantically,

But rather to make users feel that:

"I am willing to use this currency long-term."

"I know what will happen in the worst case."

"I can calculate the downside risk in advance."

This is precisely where Lorenzo's advantage lies:

Its risk system is too clean, too interpretable, and has too few surprises.

This instead gives it a 'financial institution-level trust structure.'

Part five: Why is the 'simulability' of parameters the most scarce capability in the industry?

This is something almost all projects have overlooked.

Most stablecoin models are not simulatable by users:

Data is not public.

Parameters change frequently.

Complex structure.

Logic is multilayered and nested.

Too many emotional parameters.

The financial system fears the 'unsimulatable structure.'

Unsimulatable = untrustworthy.

Untrustworthy = unable to scale.

And Lorenzo is one of the few I have seen who can achieve that:

Any user can derive risks using formulas.

Any developer can simulate liquidation scenarios.

Any institution can model stress tests in advance.

This is the 'Basel Accord spirit' in traditional finance:

Transparency ≠ conservativeness, transparency = the starting point of trust.

Part six: The long-term value of BANK also comes from the predictability of parameters.

Why does BANK have value?

The reason is not speculation, not narrative, but:

How much real income the protocol can stably generate each year.

The stability of real income comes from the stability of risk parameters.

If parameters are uncontrollable, liquidation is unpredictable, and models require frequent adjustments,

Then the cash flow of BANK will become unreliable.

But Lorenzo's parameter structure is:

Stable → reproducible → transparent → does not change dramatically with market conditions.

This means BANK's value capture can be modeled long-term.

It can even create cash flow expectations at a financial institution level.

Such tokens are extremely rare and have great financial potential.

Part seven: My judgment — Lorenzo's risk parameter system is its most 'infrastructure-like' part.

In the future, stablecoins will definitely enter the 'infrastructure competition era.'

In that era, parameters would not be a marketing point.

But whether the system can join the mainstream financial layer is key.

Whoever's parameters are transparent, predictable, modelable, and executable,

Who is the 'infrastructure stablecoin.'

And Lorenzo's parameter system is the closest I have seen to this standard in all projects.

It is not aimed at creating products.

It is creating a currency system that can truly be understood by institutions, developers, and on-chain systems.

This structure is not for the current market.

But rather for on-chain finance over the next decade.

This is also why Lorenzo can continue to write so many non-repetitive articles —

Because its underlying logic is solid, real, and engineered.
