The Problems of Traditional Methods
The traditional methods of generating yield in crypto, staking tokens, lending assets on-chain, or farming volatile DeFi pairs, come with serious limitations that often go unaddressed:
✓ Many DeFi protocols offer high APYs, but they’re usually based on tokens whose prices fluctuate wildly. That means your rewards can crash in value even if the APY looks attractive on paper.
✓ Yield farming typically requires users to provide liquidity for token pairs. These pools are exposed to impermanent loss, rug pulls, and smart contract risk, none of which are sustainable for those seeking long-term, stable returns.
✓ Traditional DeFi yields are often based on speculative activity. The value isn’t backed by real-world use cases or cash flow. Just trading, hype, and token emissions. That’s a shaky foundation, especially during market downturns.
✓ Traditional methods don't channel funds into assets that exist or operate in the real world. There’s no connection to sectors like insurance, real estate, or credit markets, which historically generate more consistent cash flow.
✓ Most on-chain opportunities are highly correlated to overall crypto market trends. When Bitcoin or ETH drops, so does the entire ecosystem. There’s no escape, no hedge, no counterbalance.
