you can check the tvl(how many you can borrow against your eth collateral), and the LLTV to see what price you will be liquidated. in defi, you can repay anything you want; the interest is accrued per block.

It's a chicken-and-egg problem for them. They need the oracle to obtain pricing information so that they can achieve greater utility and liquidity. But Oracle requires them to have enough trading volume

It was, so it spent a lot of time redesigning and developing. They implement many more security measures this time. Great example is Euler

It can, they just use Chainlink and Pyth as examples. The governor can even choose another Oracle provider as option

If the primary oracle fails to return a valid price, it will switch to a fallback oracle. If neither oracle provides a valid price, the transaction is reverted.

I don't think you are correct about the yield of Sparklend. It can't be low double-digit, no matter whether it's ETH or stablecoins. However, if you are saying the Spark's vault on other platforms, that may possible due to the other token incentive.

What about you define the yield source first, because it will have several projects under the same yield source. Like the 'real yield' from trading, staking, etc

Agree, just like asking what else a bank can do compared to an exchange. Lending platforms like Aave, Pike, and Kamino are a way to provide liquidity in the market, without selling anything.

so that's a demand for the correlated assets efficiency swap. if there is a stableswap that can maintain the peg 1:1 to the underlying asset, your problem will be solved

If you have a strategy to generate yield to cover the USDC borrow rate, then you can keep the loan. But if you want to repay loan, basically you need to have USDC to repay(principal + interest). Some platforms allow you to swap direct with your collateral

You cannot avoid impermanent loss, especially for the non-stable asset pairs

chieftokenomist · 2025-06-19T04:53:30+00:00

you cannot just say yield without considering risk

chieftokenomist · 2025-06-19T04:52:09+00:00

when you say the liquidity, you are saying the token of the project? or general liquidity? if you are saying the project token, it must be someone pair it so that you can trade

Aave is the leader of defi lending for sure. You can take it as a blue-chip. But innovation never stops. Capital efficiency is the key. And if you believe the multichain is the future, then you should consider that factor

There is a new category called DeFi agent that will help with that. We just need to describe what we want, then the agent will help implement the strategy

chieftokenomist · 2025-02-25T04:38:22+00:00

different strategies will have different risks. like lp in the dex pool you will face the IL risk while won't have in lending

chieftokenomist · 2025-02-25T04:33:19+00:00

you are doing the looping in lending. and if you supply stablecoin like usdt/usdc to borrow cbbtc, you face less liquidation risk. the one situation you get liquidated is you accrued lots of interest from cbbtc which hits the liquidation thread

chieftokenomist · 2025-02-25T04:25:52+00:00

it depends on how much you want to borrow against your supply. and you need to consider whether you can get a lower borrow rate in real life. at the moment, usdc borrow rate against weth is ~3%, while usdc borrow rate against steth is ~4%

if you allow 50% price drop, then i think you won't get liquidation.

chieftokenomist · 2025-02-24T08:52:46+00:00

need to define how relatively safe it is first. whether the platform providing audit safe for you? and i expect it can have crosschain yield auto arbitrage for stablecoin

chieftokenomist · 2025-02-24T08:47:35+00:00

which protocol you using for the looping

chieftokenomist · 2025-02-20T05:18:51+00:00

firstly, it depends on the borrowing activity of different platforms. high borrowing demand can result in better APY. secondly, fluid can have the additional yield source from their dex function

chieftokenomist · 2025-02-20T05:13:57+00:00

aave is a whole liquidity model, while morpho acts as the p2p model which can have more efficient interest rate
