Compliance & Monitoring

Birch Hill provides institutional-grade compliance infrastructure and real-time monitoring designed to meet regulatory requirements for qualified custodians and institutional allocators. Our systems integrate directly with industry-leading security and compliance partners to ensure all capital flows remain within client-mandated risk tolerances.

Real-Time Monitoring

Birch Hill delivers sub-second monitoring of collateral values and oracle health through the Benchmark UI. Our monitoring infrastructure tracks:

  • Collateral Health: Continuous assessment of collateral values across all active positions

  • Oracle Integrity: Real-time validation of price feed accuracy and latency

  • Utilization Rates: Live tracking of pool utilization to identify liquidity constraints

  • Position Risk Metrics: Automated calculation of liquidation proximity and margin buffers

Dual-Layer Liquidation

Our liquidation infrastructure combines market maker partnerships with proprietary automation:

  • Market Maker Partners: Integrations with JST and Flowdesk provide professional liquidation execution with guaranteed service levels

  • Proprietary Liquidation Bots: Automated systems ensure positions breaching pre-set LTV thresholds are liquidated immediately, independent of third-party availability

  • Cascading Safeguards: Multi-tier liquidation triggers prevent single points of failure during high-volatility events

Sanctions Screening

Birch Hill integrates with TRM Labs and Hypernative to ensure no sanctioned or "toxic" liquidity enters our vaults:

  • OFAC SDN List Screening: Real-time verification against U.S. Treasury sanctions

  • UN Security Council Sanctions: Global sanctions compliance

  • EU Financial Sanctions: European regulatory compliance

  • Known Exploit Addresses: Screening against databases of compromised wallets and protocol exploits
