Parallel Integration Request (PIR)

New Asset Listing

The Parallel protocol can support many different assets in many different markets. Each market operates as a segregated risk pool, with the addition of each new asset influencing the overall risk of that particular market.

• The increased insolvency risk of the market it is listed in.

• The potential to expose the market it is listed in to a single point of failure.

• The risks associated with collateral currencies.

• The benefits of protocol/market diversification.
