Understanding the Goose & Egg Deposit Protection Fund

At Goose & Egg, our commitment to capital preservation and transparency is paramount. The Deposit Protection Fund is a cornerstone of this commitment—a dedicated pool of capital, held separately by the company, designed to provide a robust buffer for our clients’ investments.

This document explains how the fund works and, more importantly, how you can use the tools in your portal to verify its integrity and activity in real-time on the public blockchain.

What is the Purpose of the Fund?

The primary purpose of the Deposit Protection Fund is to safeguard each of your initial capital deposits against a drawdown of up to 10%. When you make a new deposit, an equivalent amount of capital from our fund is ring-fenced specifically to cover this 10% risk buffer for your investment.

How Does it Work? The Concept of “Locking” and “Maturation”

Our system is designed to be both secure and efficient.

1. Locking Protection: When you make a deposit and it’s allocated to the strategy, our system “locks” an equivalent value from the Protection Fund. This locked amount is reserved exclusively to cover the 10% protection on your deposit.
2. Deposit Maturation: The protection is most critical when your capital is newly invested. As your investment generates profit, the buffer created by your own gains naturally reduces the need for external protection. We call this process “maturation.” A deposit is considered fully matured once its net profit reaches 10% of its original value. For example, a £100,000 deposit matures when it has generated £10,000 in net profit. At this point, the investment has created its own 10% buffer.
3. Unlocking Capacity: Once your deposit matures, the corresponding capital in the Protection Fund is “unlocked.” This makes it available to protect new deposits from you or other clients, creating a sustainable and efficient system.

Radical Transparency: Verifying the Fund on the Blockchain

We don’t just ask you to trust that this system works—we provide the tools for you to prove it. The entire Deposit Protection Fund is managed and tokenized on the Avalanche public blockchain through a custom smart contract, the GEP (Goose & Egg Protection) Token.

Each GEP Token represents exactly £1 of protection capacity. By tokenizing the fund, every action—from increasing its size to locking funds for a client—is a public, immutable, and verifiable transaction.

Your client portal includes a dedicated “Fund Integrity” page that gives you a direct, read-only window into this smart contract.

Your Verification Tools: The “Fund Integrity” Page Explained

This page is your hub for complete on-chain transparency. Here’s what you’ll find:

1. Global Fund Statistics

This section provides a live, at-a-glance overview of the entire fund’s health, fetched directly from the blockchain.

• Total Protection Capacity: This is the total size of the fund, representing the total supply of GEP tokens. It shows the full amount of capital Goose & Egg has committed to protecting client deposits.
• Locked Capacity: This shows how much of the total fund is currently locked to protect all active, non-matured client deposits.
• Available Protection Capacity: This is the amount of capital ready to protect new deposits. This figure directly determines the “Maximum insurable deposit” you see when adding capital on the Transactions page.

Crucially, you can click “View Contract on Snowtrace” to see the smart contract on a public block explorer and independently verify that these numbers match the public ledger.

2. Personal On-Chain Verification

This section gives you personal, undeniable proof that your specific deposits are protected.

• Your Unique On-Chain ID: Each client investment is assigned a unique, anonymous identifier on the blockchain. This allows you to track your own protection without ever exposing your personal information on the public ledger.
• Your Current Locked Balance: This shows the exact amount of GEP tokens currently locked on the blockchain specifically for you. This figure directly corresponds to the protection allocated to your active deposits shown on your Dashboard.

3. Live Contract Event Log

This is an immutable, real-time log of every significant action that occurs on the smart contract. It provides a complete audit trail of the fund’s activity. You will see events such as:

The log clearly explains each event in plain English. Any transaction related to your On-Chain ID will be highlighted, so you can easily spot your own activity. Furthermore, every event has a “View Tx” link that takes you directly to the specific transaction on the Snowtrace block explorer, offering the ultimate proof of its validity.

4. Proof of Reserves: Verifying the Capital

While the event log proves the fund’s activity, the Proof of Reserves feature provides undeniable proof that the fund is fully backed by real capital. This is the highest level of financial transparency possible.

The “Proof of Reserves” card on the Fund Integrity page allows you to verify two key things 24/7:

• Full Collateralization: You can see a live comparison of the fund’s total liabilities (the GEP Tokens we’ve issued) versus its assets (the real GBP-pegged stablecoins held in our secure company wallet). The collateralization ratio should always be 100% or higher.
• Proof of Ownership: Anyone can point to a wallet on the blockchain. We provide cryptographic proof that we control our reserves wallet. By clicking the “Verify Ownership” button, your browser performs a mathematical check to confirm that the signed message could only have been created by the holder of the reserves wallet’s private key. This is trustless, mathematical proof of ownership.

With direct links to view both the asset wallet and the liability contract on a block explorer, you have all the tools to independently verify the fund’s complete financial integrity.

By building this system on a public blockchain and providing you with these tools, we are replacing trust with cryptographic proof. Our goal is to offer not only exceptional performance but also an unparalleled level of transparency in the asset management industry.
