Volatility should be tradable, not something you fear.
Until now, managing risk meant exiting your conviction asset entirely.
------------------------
Crypto exposure has always been binary.
You are either fully exposed to volatility or fully out in stablecoins.
There is no native way to reshape risk while staying inside the same asset.
This forces users into inefficient decisions.
The Risk Protocol solves this by turning risk itself into a tokenized, swappable primitive.

RiskFi introduces SMART Tokens.
The SMART mechanism split a base asset into two complementary risk profiles:
โžข ๐‘๐ข๐ฌ๐ค๐Ž๐
This amplifies exposure to volatility and upside sensitivity.
It is designed for environments where market sentiments look positive.
RiskON holders benefit from amplified gains when the underlying asset trends upward.
โžข ๐‘๐ข๐ฌ๐ค๐Ž๐…๐…
Reduces volatility exposure and prioritizes capital preservation, without giving away all the upside.
It is designed for defensive positioning or when market sentiment is uncertain.
RiskOFF holders experience reduced downside sensitivity relative to the base asset.
Both tokens are backed by the same collateral pool, with no external counterparties needed.

This is where SMART tokens becomes fundamentally different.
RiskON and RiskOFF are designed to be instantly swappable representations of the same asset.
Users are not exiting exposure.
They are reshaping it.
It replaces the normal entry and exit with a continuous risk factor.
These are the key structural advantages:
> Users can rotate between RiskON and RiskOFF without converting to stablecoins.
> Exposure remains anchored to the same underlying asset at all times.
> Risk posture can be adjusted instantly as market conditions evolve.
> No need to close positions, bridge liquidity, or re-enter markets manually.
This makes risk adjustment frictionless and reflexive.
Exactly how modern markets should function.

The system uses predictable minting and redemption rules.
> Users deposit an underlying asset into the protocol.
> In return, they receive paired RiskON and RiskOFF tokens.
> These tokens reflect opposite but balanced risk exposures.
> At any time, users can swap between profiles through protocol liquidity.
This ensures continuous convertibility.
And guarantees structural alignment between all token forms.
No exposure is synthetic or unbacked.
Everything resolves back to the same collateral base.

Users no longer need to time tops or bottoms; they only need to adjust their risk posture.
These are the advantages:
โžข ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ
Users can rotate into RiskON to maximize sensitivity to expansion.

Users can rebalance dynamically as sentiment evolves.
This removes the need for constant monitoring.

> Risk is no longer something users escape from, it becomes something they actively configure.
> RiskON and RiskOFF create a native mechanism for defensive and offensive positioning within the same asset.
> The ability to swap risk profiles instantly introduces a new layer of capital efficiency and control.
The Risk Protocol turns volatility into programmable infrastructure, letting users reshape exposure without leaving their conviction assets.
