TermMax's fixed-rate model finally clicked for me once I stopped thinking of it as "another lending pool" and looked at the actual token structure underneath. Every market splits into a debt token and the underlying principal, priced like a zero-coupon bond toward a set maturity. That's a completely different risk shape than the floating-rate pools most of us are used to, where your APY is basically a guess that resets every block.
What I keep chewing on is the vault side. Curators set the pricing curves and slippage on Range Orders, which means your actual yield depends heavily on how well a specific curator manages that curve near maturity, not just on protocol-level risk. $TermMax handles the mechanics cleanly, but it quietly shifts trust onto whoever's curating your vault, and that's easy to gloss over when you're chasing a fixed 8-9% number.
Curious how people here actually vet curators before parking size into a vault — do you track their historical spreads, or just trust the APY on the page?
