For retail users, the biggest problem with DeFi lending isn’t always the yield.
Sometimes, it’s not knowing what that yield—or borrowing cost—will look like a few hours later.
I’ve dealt with floating-rate loans before. The number you calculate when opening the position can quickly become irrelevant once market conditions change. A rate that looks attractive today can compress tomorrow, while borrowing costs can suddenly move higher.
That makes planning surprisingly difficult.
You can estimate your returns. You can calculate your expenses. But with a floating rate, those numbers are never truly locked in.
And that uncertainty is a risk of its own.
This is why the fixed-rate, fixed-term approach from TermMax is interesting. The terms are defined upfront, so lenders can know what they’re expected to receive at maturity, while borrowers can know exactly what the financing will cost.
Instead of constantly asking, “What will the rate be tomorrow?”
You already have the answer.
For smaller investors especially, predictable outcomes can matter just as much as chasing higher APYs.
DeFi has plenty of products focused on maximizing yield. Making the actual cost and return easier to predict is a different problem—and one worth solving.
