What makes an on-chain market investable: backing, liquidity, breakpoint
Three structural properties determine whether an on-chain market is worth analysing: the quality of its collateral backing, the depth of its liquidity, and the stress level at which positions begin to break.
-
Why oracle freshness decides on-chain risk
Oracles are the boundary between on-chain protocol logic and real-world prices. When that boundary goes stale, the consequences range from mispriced positions to protocol-wide insolvency. Here is how freshness works and why it matters.
-
Reading dependency and contagion risk across DeFi
DeFi protocols are not isolated. They share collateral, liquidity, and oracle feeds in ways that make a problem in one market a potential problem in several. Understanding how contagion travels requires mapping the dependency graph, not just reading individual protocol metrics.
