Exchange Governance

WCM is managed through an administrator role with specific, clearly defined responsibilities.


Administrator Responsibilities

The administrator may:

  • List tokens on the exchange for trading

  • Create and configure orderbooks

    • Most tokens will support all three markets (spot, lending, perpetuals)

    • Some tokens may only have a spot orderbook

  • Set exchange risk parameters for each token

  • Halt trading on a particular book (note: existing orders may still be canceled)

  • Set fee rates

  • Designate the mark price source

  • Return liquidation fees to the original owner if a liquidation was found to be illegitimate (e.g., caused by price manipulation)


Administrator Limitations

The administrator cannot:

  • ❌ Move funds arbitrarily between accounts

  • ❌ Override the ledger

    • The ledger only responds to owner requests and trading activity
