If you are new to DeFi, Concrete vaults can feel almost magical. You open app.concrete.xyz, deposit into a vault, receive vault shares, and then you just watch your balance go up over time.

Emphasize that risk-adjusted yield may supersede headline APY as the primary metric for durable, institutional-style investing in DeFi.
