× liquidityFactor
× volumeFactor

Weight controls

  • 12% maximum per asset
  • 0.05% minimum target
  • 60 / 25 / 12 / 3 tier budgets
  • New rewards correct drift first

Composition buffer

  • Two qualifying reviews to enter
  • Two failed reviews to leave
  • Immediate pause for safety failures
  • Every change keeps an audit reason

The permanent rule

  • `$P101` is always position 101
  • It never joins market-cap ranking
  • Its basket weight remains 0%
  • Reward capital never buys `$P101`
