I went back through the @TermMax documentation, this time trying to understand the bigger picture behind its fixed-rate market design.
I found the idea was simply fixed-rate lending and borrowing. But the more I read, the more it looked like TermMax is trying to build a broader credit market around different token pairs.
The interesting part for me is how the pieces connect. Users can work with fixed maturities and rates, while pricing curves can be customized for different markets. The documentation also describes using Principal Tokens and other yield-bearing assets as collateral.
The ETH/USDC example helped me understand the concept better.
If ETH is worth $1,000 and the maximum LTV is 80%, Alice could generate up to 800 FT representing USDC debt. She could then sell those FTs below their face value to receive liquidity immediately.
What I still want to understand is the risk behind this structure.
How are these pricing curves governed and updated? Who decides whether a particular collateral asset or LTV is safe enough? And what happens when collateral prices move rapidly near maturity?
The documentation gives the mechanism, but I think the real test is how these assumptions behave under stress.
How would you evaluate TermMax’s model from a risk and decentralization perspective?
