Regulatory · Annual transparency

The year in numbers. Signed. Anchored.

Each year we publish an audited transparency report: cleared volume by contract class, default events (including near-default events), rule changes, technology incidents, performance against the availability targets, and the signatures and anchors that render the report cryptographically immutable.

Report structure

Seven sections. Every one published.

The transparency report structure is fixed by rulebook and does not change year to year without public notice. Historical reports are directly comparable.
  • 01

    Cleared volumes and open interest

    Notional cleared by contract class, member tier, and settlement currency. Daily average, peak-day, and year-end open interest. Top-five concentration disclosed at aggregated and contract-class granularity.
  • 02

    Default and near-default events

    Any declared default, any event escalating to the default-management playbook, and any near-default event (member distress triggering enhanced monitoring) documented with summary facts and disposition.
  • 03

    Rule changes and governance

    Every rulebook amendment adopted in the year — filing date, effective date, public comment summary, and disposition. Governance events (board changes, committee composition) disclosed.
  • 04

    Technology incidents

    Every Sev-1 and Sev-2 incident with summary facts, root cause, corrective action, and member impact. Linked back to the public incident-register entry.
  • 05

    Availability and performance

    System-class availability versus target, margin back-testing outcomes, stress-testing outcomes, and any Core-Principle-linked performance metrics.
  • 06

    Regulatory engagement

    Summary of filings, examinations and enforcement-adjacent engagements with each regulator. No individual member or investigation detail; aggregated activity only.
  • 07

    Forward posture

    Planned rulebook changes, planned product expansions, and planned regulatory-track milestones for the next year. Sets expectations for accountability at the next report.

Illustrative metrics · Year 1

Targets, not actuals.

The first transparency report covers Wavestar's first fiscal year of operation. The metrics below are planning targets for the steady-state year; actual Year-1 figures will be published in the report itself.
Cleared notional
Planning target

Detailed figures disclosed in the report.

Default events
0

Target zero. Near-default events also disclosed.

Rule amendments

Inventory of amendments with effective dates.

Sev-1 incidents

Targeting zero customer-impacting Sev-1 incidents in the steady-state year.

Clearing availability
≥ 99.995%

Target aligned with the operational-resilience disclosure.

Transparency-log gaps

Anchoring lapses
Zero tolerated

Hourly anchoring to Ethereum and Bitcoin with documented fallback.

How the report is produced

From audit to anchor.

  1. Month 1 post FYComplete

    Data compilation

    All in-scope metrics compiled from the registry, the clearing engine, and the operational-resilience data warehouse. Each metric reconciled against its source ledger.
  2. Month 2 post FYComplete

    Independent audit

    Independent audit by a tier-one firm of the cleared-volume, default and incident metrics. Findings incorporated before report finalisation.
  3. Month 3 post FYComplete

    Risk Committee review

    Full report reviewed by the Risk Committee. Board sign-off on the final version.
  4. Day of publicationComplete

    Sign, anchor, publish

    Report canonicalised (JCS), signed by the Chief Risk Officer, anchored in the transparency log and the public chains, then published on this site with download links for the signed artefact.

Ongoing obligations

Transparency is continuous.

Annual reports punctuate a year of continuous disclosure. Quarterly and real-time surfaces feed into and reconcile against the annual artefact.
A clearing house that won't publish its annual numbers is a clearing house that doesn't trust its own year. We publish ours — in full, signed, and cryptographically immutable.
