Six Tabs, Or One Sentence 🗂️
$AERO handles liquidity, $LINK handles data, and between them sits a stack of venues most people manage through a browser with eleven tabs open.
The Bankr terminal addresses several of them from the same conversation. Spot swaps, perps through supported venues, prediction markets, bridges, yield on idle USDC.
The point is not the list. It is what maintaining that list normally costs you.
Every venue is its own account, its own connection flow, its own quirks about networks and gas and approvals. The mental overhead of keeping six of them straight is why most people use two and ignore the rest, even when the ignored ones are where the thing they wanted actually lives.
Consolidating the instruction layer does not consolidate the risk. Each venue underneath still has its own contracts, its own liquidity and its own failure modes, and a single interface can make unlike things look alike.
That is the part to stay awake for. A uniform text box over non-uniform venues is convenient, and convenience is how people end up somewhere they did not intend to be.
Used deliberately though, it collapses an afternoon of tab management into a sentence. Most people reading this have never checked whether their workflow survives that comparison.
