For many participants in decentralized finance, evaluating opportunities often starts with one simple metric: APY. Protocol dashboards highlight it, influencers discuss it, and investors frequently compare strategies based on which offers the highest return. This focus on yield helped DeFi grow rapidly. High APYs attracted liquidity and encouraged users to explore new protocols and strategies. But as the ecosystem matures, investors are beginning to ask a more important question: how much ris...

Onchain Finance Is TradFi Rewritten in Code
Traditional finance isn’t broken because it’s old. It’s broken because it can’t evolve fast enough.
