It was supposed to be passive income.
Set it and forget it, they said.
But forgetting... cost me everything.
Forgive me, anon, for I aped into a vault I didn’t understand.
🧾 DeFi Confessions #2 – “The Vault That Took My Soul”
They called it “The Vault of the Future.”
Slick UI. Auto-compounding.
And that phrase that seduces every degen:
“Real Yield. No Impermanent Loss.”
So I locked my tokens.
At first, it felt like winning.
The dashboard said my balance was going up.
Every harvest looked like progress.
But I didn’t check the fees.
Didn’t track the emissions.
Didn’t notice the TVL bleeding like a rug in slow motion.
By the time I tried to exit,
the vault fee was 30%.
And the token? Down 98%.
I wasn’t earning yield.
I was paying for the illusion of it.
They promised passive income.
But all I got was passive regret.
