I spent some time today following the flow from GT creation to FT/XT pricing, and I realized I was looking at each piece separately when the interesting part is how they interact.
The GT initially looked like a complicated debt wrapper to me. But the more I read, the more I saw its role in keeping collateral and the total debt obligation tied to one position. Still, I wonder whether a conventional fungible debt token could achieve the same thing with less complexity.
The FT/XT relationship raised another question. If their combined value should correspond to the underlying debt token, what actually stops an arbitrageur from capturing temporary pricing gaps? I assume market activity and the protocol's mechanics help close them, but I couldn't find enough detail to be certain.
Then I looked at staking. I’m still unsure how rewards can remain connected to genuine protocol usage rather than simply increasing token demand through emissions. That distinction seems important for long-term sustainability.
The pricing curves are another piece I’m watching. A market maker can express a preferred rate, but preference isn't the same as real demand. How does the system distinguish useful liquidity from an order that simply sits there because the rate is unrealistic?
Maybe the bigger question is how much of TermMax’s efficiency comes from its mechanics versus actual market participation. That’s what I want to understand next.
