How DeFi Changes Personal Finance
Adaptive systems outperform rigid strategies across changing market conditions What factors determine whether a strategy can survive across different market cycles And this is where the idea of durable strategies becomes clearer What is advertised and what is realized are often separated by more friction than people expect. That is the difference between a visible return and a realized one. A visible APY can be informative, but it is rarely the full economic picture. The return may be tied to...

What Makes a DeFi Strategy Actually Sustainable?
1⃣ The Familiar Loop If you’ve spent enough time in DeFi, you’ve seen the pattern repeat. A new protocol launches with aggressive APY. Capital flows in rapidly. Yields begin to compress. Liquidity rotates out just as fast. It’s not a one-off—it’s a cycle. Which raises a deeper question: Why does yield in DeFi so often decay instead of persist?2⃣ What Sustainability Really Implies Sustainability isn’t about avoiding risk—it’s about managing time. A strategy is sustainable if it:Produces consis...

If You Can’t Explain Yield, You Are the Yield
The Comfort of a Simple NumberThere’s something reassuring about how DeFi presents yield. A single number. Clean, precise, and constantly updating. APY. It gives the impression that everything is measurable, predictable, and under control. Deposit assets, and the system does the rest. But that comfort comes from abstraction. Because behind that one number is a system full of moving parts you don’t immediately see.What the Dashboard Doesn’t ShowThe interface is designed to simplify. But in doi...
