DeFi Doesn’t Remove Trust — It Engineers It
APYs spike fast and create strong incentives for early capital inflows Is the highest APY really the best indicator of a good strategy From here, the focus shifts toward consistent and repeatable returns The gap between visible return and actual retained return is where many strategies become less attractive. Once you include impermanent loss, gas, slippage, strategy maintenance, and volatility, the APY can compress quickly. The mechanism matters because yield is never just a number floating ...

New opportunities appear daily, while existing ones shift or disappear just as quickly. On the surface, this looks like a golden age of optionality.
