Vaults: PLP

Vaults are passive investment strategies on Perpl that also help bolster the exchange's liquidity and safety.

PLP's primary purpose will be to provide deep liquidity to the order books, and it can also be used as backstop liquidity, depending on asset, market, and risk conditions.

Why Hedge?

Market making is a risky endeavor, and taking directional risk to provide deep liquidity on Perpl can lead to massive drawdowns and/or losses. Leveraging Fireblocks OES allows the vault curator to offload some of the risk on other venues, primarily centralized exchanges.
