Smart contracts reduce trust, but cannot fully eliminate reliance in real-world conditions
Hidden assumptions create vulnerabilities across interconnected protocols. But visibility is not the same thing as understanding. A visible return is easy to admire, but much harder to evaluate without understanding the source. This is where capital allocation decisions become more disciplined Most users see the visible rate first and assume it is close to what they will ultimately keep. Gross return and net return can end up being meaningfully different once the full path of execution is tak...

What Makes a DeFi Strategy Actually Sustainable?
Yield compression happens naturally when too much capital enters one strategy What determines whether a vault strategy can maintain stable performance over time This is where the conversation shifts from yield chasing to strategy understanding Most users see the visible rate first and assume it is close to what they will ultimately keep. This is why the displayed number should be treated as a starting point, not a conclusion. The mechanism matters because yield is never just a number floating...
