DeFi doesn’t misprice yield but it misprices risk.
Risk-tranching fixes this by turning underlying risks into a market, allowing participants to price and transfer that risk, and choose their position on the risk–reward curve instead of being forced into the same bucket.
Without it, “fair yield” is just an average across incompatible risk profiles.
Senior USDat gets a fixed 7.8% APY backed by $STRC via sUSDat, with built-in downside protection.
Junior USDat absorbs the $STRC volatility, providing leveraged exposure to both price and dividends.
Digital Money backed by Digital Credit.
Built on @saturn_credit.

👉🏻 4.71% Fixed APY, higher than sUSDe yield (3.8% APY)
👉🏻 Loopable up to 22% APY on @aave
👉🏻 $55M cap available still
Senior PRIME & Junior PRIME.
@figure Democratized Prime yield structured into two products.

New DeFi Frontier pod's out on The @Edge_Pod!
Two types of capital exist in DeFi.
Conservative: wants safety, willing to give up some yield
Risk tolerant: wants max yield, willing to take the risk
Most DeFi offers us one product for both but @strata_markets separates them!
Dive deep into the tranches and understand risk-tranching — what, why, and how.
Huge thanks to @DeFi_Dad and @Nomaticcap for inviting me to talk about Strata.
