Mizan by Elabify

Institutional risk governance for digital assets.
Built for treasuries that need evidence, not vibes.

Mizan is a multi-tenant platform that lets stablecoin issuers, family offices, and institutional treasury teams score every protocol they touch, track positions across every ledger they hold, and produce board-ready evidence packs. The full product is available as a self-serve workspace at mizan.elabify.com. Free magic-link sign-in, no credit card.

Each workspace is isolated by Postgres row-level security from the moment it is created. No tenant ever sees another tenant’s data, not even via a bug in the application code.

What ships with your workspace

Every workspace gets the full product on day one. Not a stripped-down trial.

Vault assessments

Two templates ship by default. Lite is a 15-question quick screen for positions under your workspace materiality threshold. Enterprise covers 10 pillars, 22 red flags, and 10 stress scenarios. Either template is editable per workspace.

Position tracker

Live positions across every supported chain via Alchemy, pool health via DeFiLlama. The dashboard chart spans 7, 30, 90, 180, or 360 days, plus an all-time view. Every capital change appears as a marker on the line.

Governance checklist

A 24-item institutional submission checklist tied to every assessment, covering investment objectives, market and pair analysis, technical risk, impermanent loss modelling, operational plan, financial projections, stablecoin credit risk, regulatory and compliance, counterparty and custody, and stress testing.

Alerts

Configurable rules covering hurdle-rate breaches, peg deviations, pool liquidity drops, and impermanent-loss budget breaches. Delivered by email or webhook. Per-rule deduplication windows prevent storms.

Scheduled reports

Daily, weekly, or monthly position snapshots emailed to your committee as XLSX attachments. Filter presets let you scope each subscription to a slice of the book.

Audit log

Every mutation captured to a per-workspace audit log. Who did what, when, and what the values were before and after. Exportable for compliance review.

Multi-currency reporting

Workspace currency is configurable across USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, CHF, JPY, NZD, HKD, and SGD. Capital, max-position, and materiality threshold all reformat instantly.

Self-host option

For workspaces that need to run on their own infrastructure: Helm chart and Docker images available on request. The hosted version and the self-host build run from the same source tree.

One real assessment, end to end

The framework

Structured-product methodology, adapted for DeFi. Editable per workspace.

Two templates ship by default. Lite is a 15-question quick screen for positions under your workspace materiality threshold. Enterprise v3.2 organises due diligence into four risk families and ten weighted pillars, drawing on rating-agency structured-product methodology. Either template is editable per workspace: clone the system version, change pillar weights, criterion text, thresholds, or auto-escalators, and the next assessment uses the override. System templates stay untouched as a reference.

A · Capital safety (30%)

Can I recover principal in the worst case?
Pillars: P1 Legal structure, P2 Custody.

B · Strategy integrity (38%)

Does the yield mechanism work under stress?
Pillars: P3 Oracle, P4 Collateral, P5 Hedge, P6 Credit & yield.

C · Counterparty & ops (20%)

Who can fail and what happens?
Pillars: P7 Smart contract, P8 Team & operations.

D · Liquidity & exit (12%)

Can I exit at fair value when I want to leave?
Pillars: P9 Liquidity & peg, P10 Regulatory.

Protocols we evaluate

Curated assessor baselines for two dozen plus protocols. Add your own for bespoke work.

Mizan ships with curated baselines across DeFi lending, AMM and concentrated liquidity, yield aggregation, liquid staking and restaking, tokenised RWA, and stablecoin issuance. Workspaces can add custom protocols for bespoke assessments. The catalog expands roughly every release.

Category Protocols Most-weighted pillars
DeFi lending Aave v3, Morpho Blue, Compound v3, Spark, Euler v2 P3, P4, P5, P7
AMM and concentrated liquidity Uniswap v3, Curve, Balancer, Aerodrome P4, P7, P9
Liquid staking and restaking Lido, Rocket Pool, EigenLayer P3, P5, P9
Yield aggregation Yearn v3, Pendle, Convex P4, P6, P8, P9
Institutional and tokenised RWA Canton Network, Maple, Centrifuge P1, P6, P10
Stablecoin issuance Sky, Ethena, Stabull, PayPal USD P2, P4, P10

Scoring and verdicts

Five-tier allocation guidance with template-configurable thresholds.

Every assessment produces a composite 0 to 4 score mapped to one of five verdicts. Thresholds live in the workspace’s active template. Clone and override the system defaults if your investment policy uses different bands.

Composite Verdict Typical guidance
3.50 to 4.00 PASS Full policy allocation. Quarterly review.
3.00 to 3.49 PASS WITH NOTES Approved with documented caveats. Action items tracked.
2.50 to 2.99 WATCH Reduced allocation. Binding remediation plan. Monthly review.
1.50 to 2.49 CONCERN Pilot only. Risk-committee sign-off required.
below 1.50 FAIL No allocation. Revisit after material remediation.
Auto-escalators force a FAIL regardless of composite score.

Eight conditions trigger an automatic FAIL even if the composite would otherwise pass: OFAC or sanctioned-address exposure, stressed time-to-exit beyond 24 hours, a single admin key controlling funds, no Tier-1 audit on the deployed bytecode, a materiality-threshold breach with no remediation, an anonymous core team with no accountable principal, unregistered-securities exposure in the target jurisdiction, and opaque collateral with no proof of reserves. These mirror standard institutional auto-disqualifier conventions and are editable per workspace template.

Use cases

Six common shapes the framework takes in production.

01. Stablecoin treasury management

Evaluate deployment of idle USDC, USDT, or tokenised T-bill reserves. Focus areas: redemption risk, peg stability, and KYC and AML posture. Relevant pillars: P1, P2, P4, P9, P10.

02. DeFi lending vault selection

Compare Aave v3, Morpho Blue, and Compound v3 using identical criteria for oracle architecture and liquidation mechanics. Relevant pillars: P3, P4, P7, P8.

03. Yield aggregator risk policy

Assess Aerodrome and Curve pools including subvault nesting, blast radius, and impermanent-loss analysis. Relevant pillars: P6, P7, P9.

04. Liquid staking and restaking

Evaluate Lido and EigenLayer on slashing risk, oracle dependency, and redemption-queue capacity. Relevant pillars: P3, P5, P9.

05. Tokenised RWA allocation

Apply the framework to tokenised T-bills and structured finance, weighted toward legal documentation and credit analysis. Relevant pillars: P1, P6, P10.

06. Risk-committee reporting

Produce board-ready outputs: composite scores, family heatmaps, red-flag registers, scenario tables, and capital-over-time charts. Scheduled reports deliver the same packs on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence.
