What Is Low Risk DeFi and Why Will It Win
summary
Argues that durable, low‑risk DeFi wins by offering stable, long‑term yields and mainstream integration, not chase‑the‑next‑APY. Builds a risk engine (backend live, frontend launching on Morpho) that rates vaults by quantifying smart‑contract, oracle, liquidation, market‑liquidity and counterparty risk, simulating slippage and cascade liquidations. Cites the XUSD collapse (≈$92M hole, price down from $1.26 to near zero in 24 hours) as a failure the engine would have flagged. Targets simple vault ratings for Robinhood/Revolut‑style UX; over 500 vaults and 200+ stablecoins motivate the product.
