What Makes a DeFi Strategy Actually Sustainable?
Capital should focus on long term yield rather than short term gains What role does real economic activity play in sustainable yield creation This is where simple assumptions about yield begin to break down Most users see the visible rate first and assume it is close to what they will ultimately keep. Once you include impermanent loss, gas, slippage, strategy maintenance, and volatility, the APY can compress quickly. The gap between visible return and actual retained return is where many stra...
