It was supposed to be passive income.
Set it and forget it, they said.
But forgetting... cost me everything.
Forgive me, anon, for I aped into a vault I didnât understand.
đ§Ÿ DeFi Confessions #2 â âThe Vault That Took My Soulâ
They called it âThe Vault of the Future.â
Slick UI. Auto-compounding.
And that phrase that seduces every degen:
âReal Yield. No Impermanent Loss.â
So I locked my tokens.
At first, it felt like winning.
The dashboard said my balance was going up.
Every harvest looked like progress.
But I didnât check the fees.
Didnât track the emissions.
Didnât notice the TVL bleeding like a rug in slow motion.
By the time I tried to exit,
the vault fee was 30%.
And the token? Down 98%.
I wasnât earning yield.
I was paying for the illusion of it.
They promised passive income.
But all I got was passive regret.
