    Custody & risk

    • If the issuer disappears
      Assets deployed into DeFi vaults are subject to smart contract risks, market risks, and potential withdrawal delays. Plasma explicitly states that yield is not guaranteed and users can receive less than they deposited. These assets are not bank deposits and are not insured.
    • Counterparty risk
      Stablecoin balances are explicitly not bank deposits and carry risk of total loss
    • Market risk
      DeFi/smart contract/market risks apply to Vault Program
    • Security risk
      Smart contract vulnerabilities in third-party DeFi protocols

    Users maintain self-custody of their stablecoins (USDT, USDC, USDS) in their own wallet. Funds are spent directly from this wallet. For yield generation, users can opt-in to the "Vault Program," which deploys assets into third-party DeFi smart contracts. In this case, custody of the assets may transfer to the smart contracts or vaults. Un-deployed assets remain under user control.
