How Can Mutability Help a Derivatives Platform Adapt to Extreme Market Volatility?
Extreme volatility can expose flaws in a derivatives platform's risk models, such as inadequate liquidation thresholds or incorrect margin requirements. Mutability allows the core team or governance to rapidly deploy a patch that adjusts these parameters, preventing a cascade of liquidations, insolvency, or system failure, which is a critical necessity in high-stakes financial applications.
