#termmax Compared a plain Aave deposit against a TermMax curated vault manually this week, because "stacked yield" claims deserve an actual side-by-side. 🧮
A TermMax vault curator picks a base yield source — Aave, or an ERC-4626 vault like Morpho — and layers TermMax's fixed-rate spread on top, without your deposit ever leaving that base strategy. 🏗️ Say the base Aave USDC yield is running around 4%. If the curator's fixed-rate spread adds another 3% on top, a depositor is looking at a composite ~7% — for capital that was already going to sit in Aave anyway. ➕
The curator does the position management — selecting the base source, running the range orders, sizing the fixed-rate exposure. Depositors just deposit and hold the vault token. 💤
Worth knowing who's actually behind this before assuming it's a random anon strategy: institutional curators already running vaults on TermMax include MEV Capital, Keyrock, AlphaPing, Edge Capital, Origami Crypto, Hardcore Labs, and Clearstar Labs — seven named firms, not one guy with a spreadsheet. 🏛️
The base yield still carries the base protocol's risk (Aave's risk doesn't disappear because TermMax sits on top), plus TermMax's own curator and market risk stacked on. Two risk layers for the extra spread, not zero. ⚠️
Would you rather take the plain 4% with one risk layer, or the ~7% composite with two?
🤔 Does knowing a named institutional curator runs the vault change how much you'd actually size into it?
