Who pays the yield, and what could interrupt it?

01 / Documented fact

What we know

DeFi uses applications and smart contracts to provide financial services. Interacting with software does not eliminate financial or technical risk.

02 / Daleki interpretation

Our interpretation

Our framework: understand revenue sources before comparing percentages. Temporary incentives and organic demand require different analyses.

03 / The other side

What could weaken this thesis

A transparent protocol can still have bugs, liquidity issues or dependencies on external prices.

What we will watch

  • 01Yield source and incentive duration.
  • 02Liquidity available under stress.
  • 03Administrative permissions and technical dependencies.

Proposed monitoring indicators. These are not measured results or buy signals.
