DeFi

DeFi workflows can combine data feeds, collateral rules, smart contracts, liquidity, and staking mechanisms. The featured article breaks these layers apart so that a reader can ask a specific question about each. It does not use an attractive interface or a successful transaction as evidence that the wider system is free of risk.

Begin with the path into and out of a position. Identify the asset being deposited, the representation received, the valuation rules, and the conditions for withdrawal or redemption. Then examine how external data affects that path and what happens if an input becomes unavailable. Pair the article with the DeFi and staking topic guides to keep native staking, liquid staking, and other protocol participation from being treated as interchangeable.
