In the world of DeFi, the most expensive thing is not the transaction fee, but the "unpredictability." Unpredictability comes from opaque mechanisms, unclear parameters, uncertain exits, and undefined risk boundaries. If you chase returns in unpredictability, the result is often putting yourself into a system that may lose control at any moment.
A more stable way to participate is to consider "predictability" as the primary indicator: Can the strategy be clearly explained? Are there clear upper limits on key parameters? Is the exit channel verifiable? Are there protections or rollbacks in extreme situations? Predictability does not guarantee no losses, but it ensures that you won’t lose control at critical moments. Only those who can maintain control are qualified to discuss long-term returns.
