Revisiting @TermMax , I first wanted to understand why it uses a fixed interest rate. But after looking deeper, I think the bigger point is not just “fixed income” — it’s how TermMax is building a more structured interest-rate market on-chain. #TermMax
DeFi lending has already shown that capital can move on-chain, but interest rates still change with the market. That makes funding costs harder to predict. TermMax looks at this differently by connecting maturity, interest rates, and debt structure.
The most interesting part for me is FT, GT, and XT.
FT represents fixed-term debt, similar to a zero-coupon bond. GT shows the leverage and debt relationship, while XT takes part in liquidity and settlement. Borrowers can mint and sell FT to get liquidity.
Range Order also stands out. Instead of relying only on one liquidity pool, its Pricing Curve lets users match based on maturity and yield expectations.
Then there is Physical Delivery. If liquidation fails, TermMax can handle the remaining debt through asset delivery, meaning even the extreme case is considered.
After putting everything together, I see TermMax as more than a fixed-rate protocol. It is exploring a clearer and more structured on-chain fixed-income market.
