Off-Exchange Settlement in detail
Unipay employs Off-Exchange Settlement (OES) mechanisms to ensure operational efficiency and stability while interacting with centralized exchanges. By utilizing platforms such as Copper and Ceffu, Unipay bridges on-chain collateral with off-chain trading venues for delta-neutral hedging. This hybrid approach combines the transparency of decentralized systems with the liquidity and robustness of centralized markets.
How Off-Exchange Settlement Works
Collateral Mapping On-chain collateral (e.g., SOL, ETH, BTC) is securely mapped to off-chain settlement platforms like Copper or Ceffu. These platforms act as custodians, enabling Unipay to interact seamlessly with centralized exchanges without exposing users to unnecessary custody risks.
Delta-Neutral Hedging Execution Through mapped collateral, Unipay opens short positions on perpetual futures markets on centralized exchanges. This allows the protocol to lock in funding rates while maintaining the stability of USDu.
Settlement and Liquidity OES ensures that all settlements are efficiently executed with minimal latency. This structure provides a scalable foundation for Unipay’s delta-neutral strategies, enabling the system to handle large volumes while maintaining stability.
Advantages of Off-Exchange Settlement
Liquidity Access Centralized exchanges offer significantly deeper liquidity compared to decentralized platforms. This allows Unipay to scale USDu issuance without compromising stability or efficiency.
Reduced Counterparty Risk By leveraging custodial solutions like Copper and Ceffu, Unipay minimizes counterparty risks traditionally associated with centralized exchanges.
Optimized Capital Efficiency OES enables Unipay to efficiently manage collateral and margin requirements, ensuring the system remains capital-efficient even under extreme market conditions.
Regulatory Compliance Utilizing compliant custodial platforms ensures that Unipay operates within regulatory frameworks while maintaining user confidence in the protocol’s operations.
Transparency and Security
Unipay’s Off-Exchange Settlement mechanisms are fully transparent, with all collateral mappings and trading activities recorded on-chain. This ensures that users and stakeholders have full visibility into the protocol’s operations, reinforcing trust and accountability.
Through OES, Unipay achieves the perfect balance between decentralization and operational efficiency, delivering a secure and scalable solution for USDu issuance and global payments.
