Most DeFi protocols treat liquidity like a one-time event.
Get people to deposit, show a decent APY, move on.
River's setup feels different to me.
satUSD, yield, collateral, and liquidity are all wired together, so capital doesn't just sit there once it's in, it keeps working across the system. That's the
@RiverdotInc side.
But capital alone doesn't make an ecosystem.
@River4fun covers the other half, rewarding people who actually stay consistent through River Pts, with room to connect to staked
$RIVER later on.
Two things being built at once here. Productive capital, and people who keep showing up.
Not many projects bother with both.
What's one DeFi protocol you kept using well after the initial yield died down, and what actually kept you around?
