PSIM for PIO Standard Initial Margin, a DeFi IRDs and DeFi Derivative Oriented ISDA SIMM inspired and adapted to blockchain constraints.
Key benefits of PSIM implementation:
By accounting for correlations between assets, PSIM can potentially reduce margin requirements without compromising on safety.
PSIM implementation is suited for optimizing margin requirements for IRDs which are capital-intensive but low-risk products. IRDs are not present yet in DeFi as the market is too immature and volatile, this is a chicken and egg problem where derivatives bring stability and liquidity to a market.
Each time a trade is updated, a subset of intermediary variables is updated.
PSIM is decomposed into step computation with sums only that are stored, updated, and used to compute the total result.
PIO comprises bilateral and semi-multilateral contracts, which cannot be computed as a whole due to blockchain-restricted computing capabilities. An O(nlogn) solution is incompatible with a n asset portfolio.
