Providus is an institutional-grade risk engine that runs directly on-chain using Arbitrum Stylus. It computes Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) — the same metrics banks use to evaluate portfolio risk without relying on a centralized server or a trusted oracle. The core breakthrough is a Log-Space Optimization that removes computationally expensive exponential functions from the Monte Carlo simulation loop. This makes 10,000-path simulations viable on-chain for the first time — something impossible on standard EVM due to gas constraints. Arbitrum Stylus (Rust → WASM) is the only execution environment where this works. The full product ships with: a live Protocol Stress Test Simulator (Aave V3, Maker, Compound presets), cryptographic on-chain proof generation, PDF report export, a developer API with tiered billing, API key management, webhooks, and a TypeScript SDK.

DeFi protocols today over-collateralize to compensate for having no real-time risk math — you deposit $150 to borrow $100. Providus gives them a verifiable, on-chain risk number they can use to dynamically manage collateral instead. Even a 5% reduction in idle over-collateralization across DeFi's ~$100B TVL frees $5B in capital.

1. Built and deployed the Providus Risk Engine smart contract on Arbitrum Stylus using Rust, implementing a full GBM Monte Carlo simulation with log-space optimization 2. Developed the Providus Terminal: a full-stack SaaS interface for DeFi protocol stress testing with live insolvency heatmaps and on-chain proof submission 3. Integrated Wagmi + RainbowKit for wallet connection and on-chain transaction submission from the simulator 4. Shipped a TypeScript SDK (providus-sdk) so any DeFi protocol can call the risk engine via a simple API 5. Built a complete developer portal with API key management, webhook endpoints, usage analytics, and Stripe billing 6. Implemented PDF report export gated behind on-chain proof — creating a compliance-ready audit trail 7. Deployed Supabase backend with Row-Level Security, audit logging, and GDPR export
Not fundraising at the moment, but soon.
