If You Can’t Explain Yield, You Are the Yield
The Comfort of a Simple NumberThere’s something reassuring about how DeFi presents yield. A single number. Clean, precise, and constantly updating. APY. It gives the impression that everything is measurable, predictable, and under control. Deposit assets, and the system does the rest. But that comfort comes from abstraction. Because behind that one number is a system full of moving parts you don’t immediately see.What the Dashboard Doesn’t ShowThe interface is designed to simplify. But in doi...

How Do Concrete Vaults Actually Work?
A Simple Guide to Vault Mechanics: From Confusion to ClarityPicture this: you deposit your funds into a vault for the first time. After the transaction is complete, you receive vault shares. As you explore the dashboard, you notice terms like eRate and NAV updating over time. At that moment, a common question arises: What do these actually mean? For many users, these numbers feel abstract. But once you understand the logic behind them, vaults become much easier to follow—and far more intuitiv...

The Future of Onchain Finance
Concrete: The Future of Onchain Finance Traditional finance feels stuck in the past, while DeFi often remains a speculative mess that demands constant manual effort. My conviction is simple: the real breakthrough is automation. Onchain finance will thrive when capital works tirelessly without babysitting, compounding continuously, managing risk in code, and scaling permissionlessly. Concrete is building exactly that future.
