Emergency Controls

Ledgity is designed to provide stable, predictable yield while ensuring user protection across all market conditions. To achieve this, the protocol includes on-chain safety mechanisms that allow the system to react quickly and transparently to abnormal events.

Even though approximately 80% of the capital is allocated off-chain to generate real yield, user balances, liquidity buffers, governance, and access rights remain fully on-chain and cannot be altered without transparent, on-chain actions.


Control Layer Breakdown

Component
Role
Controlled By

GlobalPause

Temporarily pausing deposits & new withdrawals during abnormal conditions

Multisig governance (Council + veLDY oversight)

GlobalBlacklist

Restricting sanctioned or malicious addresses

Multisig governance (case-by-case only)

Withdrawal Queue

Ensuring liquidity alignment between on-chain and off-chain assets

Smart contract logic (automatic, rule-based)

These mechanisms do not give custody to the protocol operators. They only control transaction flow to protect user funds when needed.


GlobalPause — Protocol Circuit Breaker

GlobalPause allows the protocol to temporarily pause operations if a security or infrastructure risk is detected.

Typical activation scenarios:

  • Bridge or infrastructure exploit detected upstream

  • Custodian or SPV operational alert

  • Smart contract vulnerability flagged

  • Irregular on-chain behavior detected

Effects during pause:

  • Deposits & new withdrawal requests are paused

  • Existing withdrawal claims remain redeemable

  • User balances remain fully intact and auditable

This mechanism is transparent, reversible, and limited in scope.

Funds are never frozen or seized.


GlobalBlacklist — Targeted Address Restriction

GlobalBlacklist allows the protocol to block only specific wallets in case of:

  • Confirmed malicious activity

  • Legal sanction lists

  • Fund flows linked to exploitation or theft

This is not a censorship tool. It is used only in objective, provable risk or compliance cases.

It protects the protocol without impacting legitimate users.


Withdrawal Safety & Liquidity Management

Ledgity maintains a hybrid liquidity model, balancing instant on-chain liquidity with scheduled off-chain repayment cycles.

Withdrawal Size
Source
Settlement Time

Within the Liquidity Buffer

On-chain buffer

Instant

Standard withdrawal (< ~10% TVL)

Next short-duration repayment cycle

Typically < 72h

Large withdrawal (> ~20% TVL)

Coordinated redemption from RWA portfolio

1–4 weeks, with direct communication

This ensures:

  • No forced liquidation of off-chain assets

  • No redemption gate

  • No “withdrawals suspended until further notice”

  • Predictable exit timelines even during stress

The queue is automatic, not discretionary.


Why the System Is More Resilient

Although yield comes from off-chain economic activity, the protocol maintains:

Element
Stored On-Chain?
Purpose

User balances & vault accounting

✅ Yes

Transparent & verifiable

Liquidity buffer

✅ Yes

Supports instant exits

Governance rules & permissions

✅ Yes

Community-supervised

Off-chain collateral

❗ Via Custodian + SPV

Secured, segregated from Ledgity corporate assets

The SPV structure ensures assets are bankruptcy-remote → User capital is legally separated from Ledgity’s operating entity.


In Summary

Principle
Outcome

Safety without custody

Users always remain the final owner of their funds

On-chain control + off-chain yield

Stability without sacrificing transparency

Rule-based withdrawals

No panic, no freeze, no arbitrary gating

Governance oversight + multi-sig

No single party can act alone

Ledgity is built to remain stable and redeemable — even in stressed conditions — by combining on-chain transparency with institutional-grade asset protection.
