Interest rates are only one part of the picture.
In real markets, time matters just as much as the rate itself.
Borrowing an asset for 7 days and borrowing it for 12 months can lead to completely different decisions, even when the amount and asset are identical.
That’s what makes @TermMax interesting to me.
By bringing different maturities into the equation, the market can start showing how investors value capital across different time periods.
Short-term maturity can offer flexibility.
Longer maturity can offer more predictability.
And when liquidity develops across multiple maturities, we could see something even more valuable: an on-chain term structure for capital.
Instead of simply asking:
“What’s the interest rate?”
We can ask:
“What’s the rate for this asset, for this duration, under current market conditions?”
That creates a much richer way to understand liquidity, demand, risk, and the cost of capital.
If @TermMax can build deep liquidity across different maturities, it could add an important new layer to DeFi markets.
Not just another lending market.
Not just another yield opportunity.
But a market where time itself becomes part of the price.
That’s the idea I’m keeping an eye on. 👀
