Risk and methodology

No financial infrastructure is risk-free.

Nostos makes the queue, settlement terms, liquidity capacity and transaction history more visible so users can make a better-informed decision.

What Nostos makes visible

The terms should be inspectable.

  • The source and timestamp of displayed yield information
  • Issuer, backing, fees, minimums and eligibility information when available
  • The stated settlement window and whether it is estimated or confirmed
  • Redemption request IDs and explicit state transitions
  • Available pool capacity, the disclosed discount and the quoted net amount
  • BOT Chain transaction and settlement records when published

What Nostos does not guarantee

Visibility is not certainty.

  • The underlying asset’s yield, backing or issuer performance
  • An exact settlement arrival time
  • Instant liquidity for every redemption request
  • Eligibility for every user or every asset
  • That visibility removes market, issuer, contract or operational risk

How to read settlement information

Estimated means estimated. Confirmed means recorded.

A settlement window describes the current expectation; it is not a guaranteed arrival time. A state becomes confirmed only when the relevant process or transaction has completed.

Settlement state

Pending

The underlying settlement has not completed. The request remains recorded.

Settlement state

Claimable

Settlement is available and the user can take the stated next action.

Settlement state

Claimed

The claim action has completed and its transaction or receipt can be inspected.

Responsibility boundaries

Separate the asset from the infrastructure.

Nostos provides the queue and liquidity layer. The underlying asset’s yield, eligibility and settlement remain subject to its issuer and terms.

Users should review issuer documentation, asset terms, eligibility requirements, contract risk and the conditions attached to any liquidity quote before taking action.
