#termmax @TermMax Vault — this is not just APY
Earlier, I used to view a DeFi vault quite simply: a user deposits funds, the strategy works with them, and in the end they receive yield. But the more I study the Vault and Curator models in TermMax, the more I realize: the key question is not merely “what APY?”
A Curator must account for where the capital is allocated, for what term, with what level of risk, and how well liquidity matches the vault’s needs. In fixed-rate lending, maturity is especially important: a higher yield doesn’t necessarily mean a better choice if it comes with greater term mismatch or lower liquidity.
That’s why I’m looking at the vault quite differently now. Passive yield doesn’t mean there’s no risk—some decisions are simply passed down to the strategy level and its management.
For me, the most interesting question now is not “how much APY?”, but “where does it come from, and what cost does the strategy pay for it?”
And that’s exactly why I want to see how this model holds up during periods of high volatility, when liquidity becomes especially crucial.
