Active Risk Management Determines Protocol Survival During Market Stress
**Active risk management** is becoming the key differentiator for protocol survival during market downturns. **BlockAnalitica's Role:** - Provides critical risk assessment and limit-setting for DeFi protocols - Helps protocols navigate volatile market conditions through data-driven insights - Offers real-time monitoring of risk parameters **SUMR Token Transferability:** - Represents the next major governance milestone - Will enable broader token distribution and participation - Requires community consensus before implementation **Market Context:** As DeFi matures, protocols with robust risk frameworks are outperforming those without proper safeguards. The integration of professional risk management services like BlockAnalitica demonstrates the industry's evolution toward institutional-grade practices. **Key Takeaway:** Protocols investing in active risk management are better positioned to weather market stress and maintain user confidence during turbulent periods.

**Summer.fi's USDC lower-risk fleet** on Base network has diversified its allocation strategy across multiple protocols: - **Moonwell DeFi** Flagship USDC vault - **Morpho** USDC Gauntlet Prime vault - **Morpho** USDC Buffer vault The fleet uses a **rigorous selection process** with risk management handled by Block Analitica.
