WHY FLOATING RATES CAN BREAK YOUR DEFI YIELD

I’ve been paying more attention to one thing in DeFi that often gets overlooked how much variable rates can change the actual outcome of a strategy

On Aave and Compound floating rates respond to borrowing demand and available liquidity That flexibility is useful but it also means the rate I enter with today may not be the rate I’m dealing with next week A sudden jump in borrowing demand can push funding costs higher and eat into the yield I expected

This is why TermMax caught my attention TermMax’s fixed rate approach gives borrowers and lenders something DeFi often lacks more certainty I see it like agreeing on the price before making a trade I know the borrowing cost upfront while lenders have a clearer idea of what they can earn

But TermMax isn’t automatically better Fixed rates need enough liquidity active users and good pricing If the market is thin that predictability can come with worse execution

For me the real test for TermMax is whether it can build sustainable liquidity and demand through actual usage not just incentives

Is TermMax’s predictable funding worth giving up some flexibility or will floating rates remain more efficient
