TVL, Yield & Smart Contract Risk
Evaluate DeFi protocols like an institution: TVL analysis, yield sustainability, smart contract risk, and competitive positioning.
"Yield is not free money. If you can't explain where the yield comes from, you are the yield."
DeFi promises to reinvent finance—but it also introduces new risks. TVL can be manipulated, yields can be unsustainable, and smart contracts can have bugs. Learning to evaluate DeFi protocols requires understanding their economic models, security practices, and competitive moats. When yield seems too good to be true, it usually is. This topic teaches you to find sustainable DeFi opportunities and avoid the traps.
