# Risk Management and Architectural Safeguards

### Boundary AML Instead of Total Transfer Control

The protocol controls mint and cash-out boundaries, but does not promise that every secondary wrapper token transfer itself undergoes AML review. This is an honest caveat: the free transferability of the wrapper is achieved by moving control to the system's boundaries.

### Controlled Strategy Outflow

Strategies cannot send funds to arbitrary addresses. Capital withdrawal to the external execution layer is only possible to pre-approved receiver addresses and within outstanding exposure limits.

### Timelock-Governed Upgrades

EarnPark maintains a governance approach under which contract upgrades must not happen unexpectedly. Upgrades go through a governance path and timelock, while stress management paths are supplemented by a pause model and change management discipline.

### Explicit Strategy Liabilities

When a user redeems a strategy, their shares are immediately burned and converted into an asset-denominated liability. This does not eliminate market risk, but makes obligations transparently measurable.

### An Honest Risk Framework

The protocol's main risks fall into four areas:

* quality and resilience of external strategies;
* quality of the reserve venue and its instant liquidity;
* governance and limit configuration;
* AML signer / compliance operations.

The protocol does not conceal these risks. Its goal is to make them isolated and observable.
