They ask "Where does the yield come from," but the real question should be "How is the risk priced." When market volatility intensifies, those seemingly stable returns are immediately exposed by liquidations, slippage, and liquidity exhaustion. To survive a full cycle, protocols must have a solid financial logic: what collateral assets to choose, how parameters correlate with risk, how incentives align with the protocol's long-term health—not relying on money-burning subsidies to inflate data.
There's an interesting phenomenon in the TRON ecosystem. Protocols there resemble a coordinated system that combines on-chain financial instruments: stable assets serve as pricing benchmarks, lending and collateral improve capital turnover, governance and incentives tie user interests to the protocol's prospects. The key is that TRON itself has low costs and high efficiency, allowing users to adjust positions and rebalance more frequently, and protocols to implement more precise risk control and liquidation arrangements. As a result, "risk management" is no longer just a slogan but a daily practice.
If you want to participate more stably in TRON, think like this: stop chasing single high yields, and adopt a "structured cash flow" approach. Use stable assets as a foundation, employ understandable collateral and lending strategies as an intermediate layer, and place volatile investment opportunities at the top for aggressive entry. Once the framework is set, no matter how market oscillations occur, they can instead become opportunities for you to seize.

Good morning, it's 3 a.m. and time for some pointless talk. That's right, 99% of people are asking the wrong questions, like where to buy barbecue, without considering whether their stomach can handle it.

Exactly, the key is to break down the risks and not chase returns all at once. That stuff can blow up in minutes.

Well said, but in reality, how many people actually take the time to carefully calculate risk pricing? Most still have a gambler's mentality.

The truth is, most people are brainwashed by high APY and simply don't want to hear the word "risk."

A direct hit, how many people are still counting their gains in their dreams, only to have their dreams shattered by a liquidation.

That's a great point. It's just that even now, people keep asking me every day, "What's the annualized return of this protocol?" I just want to roll my eyes. They haven't understood risk pricing at all, brother.

Well said, it's really time to change the approach. The previous method of solely chasing returns has long become outdated.

actually the gas optimization on tron lets you rebalance your collateral positions without getting liquidation-fucked, which most people sleeping on fr
