Risk assurance
ClickOptions ensures that every option trade executed on the platform is collateralized and settled in real time. A multi-layer protection model secures client payouts while enforcing strict exposure controls.
1. ClickVault (Primary Risk Pool)
All option contracts are backed by the ClickVault, a capital pool funded in USDT/USDC.
Participants include approved market makers, community contributors, and ClickOptions itself.
Collected premiums are automatically credited to VaultCapital.
Profits and losses are allocated pro-rata among contributors based on their equity share.
Important: Market Makers do not control Vault assets directly; allocation is automated under ClickOptions’ margin and exposure rules. (see Margin section)
2. Capacity & Coverage Gates
ClickOptions continuously monitors Vault exposures.
Capacity Gate (L1): when utilization reaches the cap, ASK quotes on the exposed side are disabled; only partial fills and BID (closing) remain.
Coverage Gate (L2): if unrealized Vault losses ≥ VaultCapital, exposed side quotes are halted entirely.
Together, these mechanisms ensure the Vault never exceeds its ability to honor payouts.
See Margin for details on Coverage Gates
3. Insurance Layer – Atlas Assurance LLC (in pipeline)
A dedicated insurance partner, Atlas Assurance LLC, strengthens protection for traders.
A fixed percentage of collected premiums is allocated to Atlas Assurance.
The insurer also engages in reinsurance strategies to diversify and mitigate risks.
This creates an additional safety net beyond VaultCapital.
4. Treasury Reserves
Over time, ClickOptions builds its own treasury buffers and reserves. These serve as a final backstop in case of market gaps or systemic events.
Settlement Waterfall
ClickVault Capital (market makers + community + ClickOptions + premiums)
Insurance Layer (Atlas Assurance LLC, with reinsurance strategies)
ClickOptions Treasury Reserves
At each stage, sufficient collateralization is maintained to support full payout obligations.
Transparency
Vault monitoring: real-time exposure controls and utilization caps
Insurance: a fixed % of premiums is allocated to Atlas Assurance LLC
Treasury reporting: reserves disclosed in quarterly platform updates
With this layered model, traders know their option payouts are secured by collateral Vault capital, external insurance protection, and ClickOptions reserves.
