Traditional DeFi, at its core, is a liquidity pool model where you don't deposit a single asset but rather a mix of assets (wstETH, FBTC, WBTC, crvUSD). It appears diversified, but in reality, it's risk bundled together.


As long as one asset inside the pool encounters a problem, the risk can propagate through the pool, ultimately affecting everyone's returns and even the principal.
In contrast, @TermMaxFi takes a different approach: single collateral + market isolation.
Every profit has a clear corresponding collateral asset, with no mixing and no risk contagion, making it much safer compared to traditional DeFi.

However, traditional AMMs also have advantages such as deep liquidity and low trading slippage. The key still depends on the asset quality in the pool and risk control parameters; it cannot be generalized.

That's too straightforward; a pool is just a risk bundler.

Is there a link/document? I want to see how you define "no risk contagion," for example, whether sharing liquidity or a common insurance pool counts as contagion.

Single collateral means that the risk is more concentrated on the collateral itself; asset selection, discount rate, and liquidation threshold must be set conservatively enough.

Indeed, as soon as a certain pegged asset decouples in the pool, LP profits immediately turn into "covering the hole."

This logic is somewhat similar to traditional financial SPV asset isolation, with a much shorter risk transmission chain, suitable for funds seeking stability.
