Health Index Definition

What is the Health Index?

The Health Index (HI) measures the protocol’s solvency position. It reflects the protocol’s capacity to fully meet its financial obligations to users at any given time..

HI is defined by two core components:

  • Protocol Liabilities: represent the total obligations the protocol must fulfill. They include the value of users’ deposited assets (principal) and reward debt, which represents accrued rewards that have been accounted for by the protocol but remain unclaimed by users.

  • Protocol Assets: represent the total economic value owned and managed by the protocol. They include all assets held across the Staking Vault, Treasury, IL Reserve Fund, Distributor, and Strategy Vault, including both idle liquidity and capital deployed in active yield strategies.

Health Index Formula

The Health Index (HI) quantifies the ratio between the protocol’s total on-chain assets and its aggregate liabilities to users.

HI=Total value of AssetsTotal value of LiabilitiesHI = \frac{\text{Total value of Assets}}{\text{Total value of Liabilities}}

The Health Index operates within four solvency bands that reflect the protocol’s financial condition:
