Concrete Vaults and the Future of Onchain Capital and the Future of Crypto
Demand for strategies determines whether they persist or disappear over time The cleaner the dashboard looks, the easier it is to believe the opportunity is fully understood. The real question is not how high the number is, but what economic activity is generating it. This is where simple assumptions about yield begin to break down What is advertised and what is realized are often separated by more friction than people expect. By the time volatility and execution costs are fully counted, the ...

The Evolution from Trustless to Engineered Trust
Some strategies only work during favorable market conditions and fail otherwise Yield compression happens naturally when too much capital enters one strategy Yield sustainability reflects underlying economic strength of protocols involved Gross return and net return can end up being meaningfully different once the full path of execution is taken into account. The return on screen may be real, but it is rarely complete. Once you stop trusting the dashboard on its own, you start asking where th...
