About Clearstar
Clearstar exists to make on-chain yield viable at institutional scale by starting where most systems don’t: qualitative judgment before quantitative execution.
Decentralized finance routinely breaks the assumptions that traditional risk models rely on. Liquidity disappears without warning. Governance changes introduce new control surfaces overnight. Oracles drift, dependencies fail, and teams respond unevenly under stress. In these environments, numbers alone are insufficient. Before modeling returns, it is essential to understand who controls the system, how it behaves, and where it can break.
Clearstar was built around this reality.
Our risk philosophy is qualitative first. We begin by mapping governance structures, smart contract architecture, admin permissions, oracle assumptions, dependency risk, and team operational maturity. We study how systems behave under volatility, how decisions are made during stress, and how failure propagates across layers. Only after these questions are answered do we move to quantitative modeling and strategy construction.
This approach reflects our role as operators, not spectators. Clearstar does not simply evaluate protocols; we take responsibility for the engineering, monitoring, and operational oversight required to run them safely. We treat every strategy as a live system, not a static product.
To keep this process disciplined and repeatable, we separate our work into two distinct phases. This separation is intentional. Most failures in DeFi come from treating assessment and implementation as the same problem. They are not.
Once an opportunity passes qualitative review, we engineer guardrails around it. These include real-time threat detection, strategy-specific monitoring, controlled execution pathways, and predefined emergency responses. Our infrastructure is designed to respond deterministically when conditions deteriorate, minimizing reliance on manual intervention or subjective judgment in critical moments.
After deployment, supervision becomes continuous. We monitor collateral health, oracle integrity, liquidity conditions, and strategy behavior in real time, transforming risk management from a one-time assessment into an active operating discipline. Alerts escalate into simulations and, when necessary, automated protective actions.
Clearstar’s mandate is straightforward: partners bring capital or distribution, and Clearstar handles the complexity. We provide the qualitative insight, engineering discipline, and operational rigor required to make decentralized finance dependable.
